I do not buy that story

The plane traversed almost the entire west to east country before someone decided to shoot it down ... unless the 'war' is localized in the east, southeast region ....

That sounds like the best explanation so far. A warplane wouldn't be flying at that height.

Oliver North said on Hannity last night that the type of weapon used to take down the plane was very sophisticated and takes two years of training to operate, not some weapon launched from some guy’s shoulder. He also said there was likely Russian military supervision involved.

On another subject, he said Hamas is controlled by the Iranians and they are taking direction from Iran, launching rockets at Israel.
