Russia says Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will personally head the investigation into an aeroplane crash that killed Poland's president.
A total of 96 people were on board the plane that crashed near the western Russian city of Smolensk, all of whom are believed to be dead.
Polish president Lech Kaczynski was on board the Russian-built Tupolev 154 jet when it went down in heavy fog near a military airport.
Russian authorities have already said they suspect pilot error in the crash, near Smolensk, in Western Russia.
There are reports the jet made several attempted landings before the crash.
Also on board were leading members of Poland's political elite, including the army chief of staff and the governor of the central bank.
A scan of a list of 88 passengers aboard the plane published on a Polish government website showed the names of Poland's chief of staff, General Franciszek Gagor, and Major General Bronislaw, head of operational forces.
General Tadeusz Buk, head of land forces, air force commander Andrzej Blasik and special forces chief Wojciech Potasinki, as well as navy vice-admiral Andrzej Karweta, were also on the list.
They were part of an official delegation travelling to commemorate the massacre of thousands of Polish soldiers by soviet troops during the second world war.
Apparently the Polish President did not get along with Putin, but the Prime Minister Tusk (now acting Polish leader) and Putin are best buddies...

I imagine that will go about like our DOJ and the black panther voter intimidation case...
Something is not right with this whole picture. No government on the planet would put their entire leadership, top government officials and top military brass on one plane! Reports that several top politicians running for office were also on board.
Me, too. And then I thought, you never know where something like this is coming from except that you’d never be able to predict it.

Great insight.
“Also on board were leading members of Poland’s political elite, including the army chief of staff and the governor of the central bank. “
Prayers for Poland and the families of the deceased.

Putin involvement is to ensure that it not discovered that Russia was involved.
The second thought that came to mind (after thought #1: this is no accident), was the memory of the assassination of the anti-Taliban leader in Afghanistan just before the Al-Queda attack on us in September 2001.
Putin is flexing his muscles quite openly.
Quick reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmad_Shah_Massoud
On September 9, 2001, two days before the September 11 attacks in the United States, Massoud was assassinated in Takhar Province of Afghanistan by suspected al-Qaeda agents. The following year, he was named “National Hero” by the order of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The date of his death, September 9, is observed as a national holiday in Afghanistan, known as “Massoud Day.”[2] The year following his assassination, in 2002, Massoud was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.[3]

It should never happen again.
American and European leftist commies hate Poland going all the way back to Reagan,Thatcher and Walesa. This current President of Poland was in the same mold as Walesa and they hated him for it. Obama probably hated him too.
Walesa’s Warning:

Mr. Fox, may I show you to your new henhouse?
I give Putin credit for being precisely that brazen. Say what you will about the guy, he's got a set the size of coconuts.
The question is; how will the Kenyan benefit from this?
SO, people were already poo-pooing the “conspiracy theory” that the Russians might be involved in this somehow — THEN I see that Putin will personally head the investigation?!
Lemme see....Dead, poisoned former KGB spies; a poisoned Ukrainian President; a WAR against Georgia; resuming surveillance flights over the West, esp. around the United States; Selling weapons to Venezeula — maybe nuke technology; selling IRAN nuke technology; intimidation of POLAND and the Czech Republic regarding a US missile shield...and NOW Putin wants to PERSONALLY head the investigation?!
No, no reason at ALL to be suspicious of this totally, COMPLETELY random, tragic, accidental plane crash IN Russia... Geez!
What’s Russia’s main target ? Germany ? and why ?
