July 20, 2014 Ukraine Rebels Claim To Have Black Boxes, Have Moved Bodies To Trains

DONETSK, Ukraine - Rebels have recovered the black boxes from downed Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 and will hand them over to the International Civil Aviation Organization, a rebel leader said Sunday.

This still, taken from a Reuters video shot Friday, July 18, apparently shows emergency workers locating one of the black boxes. REUTERS Alexander Borodai also said the bodies recovered from the crash site in eastern Ukraine would remain in refrigerated train cars at a station in the rebel-held town of Torez until the arrival of an international aviation delegation.

Ukraine and the separatists accuse each other of firing a surface-to-air missile Thursday at Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 as it flew from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur some 33,000 feet above the battlefields of eastern Ukraine. Both deny shooting down the plane. All those onboard the flight - 283 passengers and 15 crew - were killed.

In another sign pointing to rebel, and Russian, responsibility for the shoot down, U.S. intelligence has detected movement of SA-11 surface-to-air-missiles - the same type responsible for downing the airliner - from rebel-held areas of Ukraine into Russian territory, CBS News chief national security correspondent David Martin reports.

This is not news. What matters is how much the One collected at the latest fundraiser.

A strong leader would have sent in special forces to secure the crash site, lock down the airspace, and find the black boxes... Oh wait, Vladimir Putin did just that!

It’s depends on what the meaning of “vacation” is.

Using the official definition from the regime, it doesn’t start until Aug 9th.

Rama-lama-ding-dong-dam doesn’t end until July 28.

I don’t know why anyone would think its a good idea to push Obama to “Do something”.

Every other time he’s done something its ended up with dead Americans, imprisoned Americans, or the loss of allies.

You want us to commit our forces in a sovereign nation for what purpose?

These 1196 are the chosen frozen staying in a refrigerated boxcar until Putin decides whether or not to allow the other 38 that the Russian rebels whisked away to join them.

This is Putin’s Green Giant moment —

I was thinking Camp David.

But you are correct...the Obama’s don’t consider that vacationing because it doesn’t cost the taxpayers a quadzillion dollars.

He's at Camp David, presumably providing some special services for some key billionaire donors.

Not paralyzed — “flexible.”

It's clear that Obama simply does not care about this atrocity, but worse, Americans don't care. And it's not just the stupid lazy Americans who voted for Obama who don't care, but it's also many of those who oppose Obama that don't care. Just read the comments here. Every time an article is posted about the threat posed by the mass murderer KGB Putin, a gang of brainless knee jerk idiots pops up and says, “Obama is the real threat!,” as if the two threats are mutually exclusive. These idiots simply don't care how Obama’s weakness is endangering us all, because they are so paralyzed with fear by Obama himself.

Who cares? Obama's buddies on Wall Street and the 1% are doing just fine.

Obama and Putin are two peas in a pod (although the latter is a professional, and the former an amateur). People really need to understand that it’s not about one “over” the other.

In light of the recent Malaysia Airlines tragedies (one missing, one brought down by the Russians) I completed a project I began some time ago to remind us of an earlier Russian involved murder of hundreds of innocents. Will someone please remind obozo that it’s still a jungle out there!

Hey, Obama was being flexible. He really doesn’t want to do much anyway other than getting those Europeans to go for stronger sanctions. After all, i am sure he promising them what they will lose when they sanction Putin.Problem probably is that they don’t believe him. Who does? Truth is, they just might get it. But Americans can’t.

And some people fail to realize that because of that fact, MAD is no longer in play. Only we die if you mishandle confronting Putin now.

You need to go beyond knee jerk recognition of a situation and realize what that situation actually entails. How can you confront Putin when you are being led by a stooge of Putin ?

The future of the Free World belongs in the hands of Israel and Poland now. Unless of course you GOP-E's are gonna let someone Putin respects be President. And Putin wont respect Romney or Jeb or Christy or McCain.
