MOSCOW — A top pro-Russia rebel commander in eastern Ukraine has given a bizarre version of events surrounding the Malaysian jetliner crash — suggesting many of the victims may have died days before the plane took off.

The pro-rebel website Russkaya Vesna on Friday quoted Igor Girkin as saying he was told by people at the crash site that "a significant number of the bodies weren't fresh," adding that he was told they were drained of blood and reeked of decomposition. ....

Girkin said "Ukrainian authorities are capable of any baseness."

Maybe the bodies had no blood because Igor “the Terrible” Strelkov is also a VAMPIRE?

I’m sure this will be the new headline in Russia Today.

Poor guy. All this after someone hacked his Twitter (or was it Facebook?) account making it look like he claimed credit for the shootdown. Now he has to deal with the Ukrainians flying a jet full of corpses and shooting it down over his territory.

This was not a “plane crash.” The plane was blasted out of the sky.

This sure is one hell of a coincindence! The Ukrainian nazis who were trying to shoot down Putin’s plane accidentally shot down this plane full people who were already dead! What are the odds of that happening?

These are the folks that Putin trusted with weapons capable of bringing down airliners.

Putin is a jerk. That kind of incompetence is bound to lead to failure and ruin. No one should wonder why Russia is still such a pit.

Maybe he’s been watching Sherlock Holmes. Ellendra - which episode had the planeload of already dead people?

suggesting many of the victims may have died days before the plane took off.

So then the Ukrainians were checking in passengers at the Netherlands airport???

Hopefully some of our resident Russian prefabricators will weigh in and translate this for us.

This is definitely SNL material.
