So then shooting down MH17 was a military operation???
Looting the shootdown site is a military operation???
Keeping the Dutch from removing the bodies of the dead is a military operation???
Mining the site is a military operation???
I think your post qualifies as FreeRepublic malpractice.
It was quite possibly a Ukrainian military operation, but the world wont know until a thorough investigation has been conducted will it?
Which is why the Dutch & Australian governments have repeatedly demanded the Ukrainians cease their military actions in the area around the crash site.
What possible reason would the Ukrainian side have for delaying and interfering with such an investigation, other than to cover its own tracks?
Yes, yes ,yes,yes
There is a war.
