US: No Link to Russian Gov't in Plane Downing

Senior U.S. intelligence officials said Tuesday that Russia was responsible for "creating the conditions" that led to the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, but they offered no evidence of direct Russian government involvement.

The intelligence officials were cautious in their assessment, noting that while the Russians have been arming separatists in eastern Ukraine, the U.S. had no direct evidence that the missile used to shoot down the passenger jet came from Russia.

The officials briefed reporters Tuesday under ground rules that their names not be used in discussing intelligence related to last week's air disaster, which killed 298 people.

So a one week investigation with no access to the impact site, no interviews conducted, no black boxes inspected and we’re suppose to believe that the Russians weren’t involved. I sue wish they could put the same efforts into the IRS, Bengazie, Fast and Furious,the VA investigations. I probably forgot a few, but my head hurts from all the BS that comes from this admin.

Excellent summation. The Obozo thugs follow a pattern of deceit/lies to waste time instead of really investigating crimes and criminal actions under their watch.

Sounds like your getting to where you might understand that ‘it's what we don't see’ where the action is on all fronts.

The only thing consistent about the Kiev Gov. has been consistently calling for 'US military intervention' from the get go. Yats was screaming about it once he realized hesitation from the US representatives.

Kiev does not have , nor did it, a military which can even bring security to their city let alone fight in the East...history now has already shown an unwillingness of their people to fight...and resorted to hired militias to offset the lack of soldiers, who even under threat continued to go awol....this we do know.

I have stated from the beginning that Kiev/Gov wants the US military to come into this fray and will do all that they think possible to incite happenings in this war to gain International Condemnation of those in the East and get the military intervention they want. ...which is more than simply "aid". They want our armies and our equipment...and that's their bottom line. They haven't been able to get this in one full swoop so they've resorted to underhanded and dangerous maneuvers to orchestrate intervention.

Look, we know the corrupted system of Ukraine runs deep and throughout 'every single Gov. age cy' and throughout the Parliament itself. They spent decades refining this scam system and they aren't about ready to let go of their gravy train because of those in the East...and as soon as the US teams have gone home you'll see that ugly beast raise it's head once again. So they want a war with Russia more than most realize....they just want someone else to fight it for them.

Ukrainian soldiers are fighting and dying, you’re talking about their unwillingness and how Americans are fighting in Ukraine, I don’t get you.

Don’t remember seeing Yatseniuk calling for military intervention from US, got a link? Military aid in terms of guns and ammo, yes; troops, no.

There’s no need for military intervention, the Russian terrorists never had support, they’re getting spanked by Ukrainians as we speak.

Ukraine soldiers are running away if they can get away....most of those fighting are Slovoda thugs and militia’s , as well as police officers who were ordered to fight....American has trained units who are directing and training Kiev’s Natl’ Guard as ell as Military commanders working with the Kiev commanders....By the way in the war theater Kiev’s Solvoda ,who it’s been documented, have actually killed Ukraine soldiers when they refuse to fight. Which is why parents tried to stop the trucks taking them into the warzone.
