Why are you saying she was in the kitchen? She could have been in the laundry room.

Seeing discussion on it on several news channels who brought in experts

My point is that I don't trust the Ukrainians or the Russians at this point to believe what is being reported. The only thing we know for sure is that a plane crashed and what the video shows.

Both sides are going to spin this to their benefit, which is my point.

Serious question. Was it he tweeting it (or his official twitter tweeting it) or was it a tweet about him saying he went to eat from a third party like media source?


IDK and don't care. Stop screwing up my opportunity to bash Obama.

Fair enough. What agencies are you watching with the crash experts?

Well she's certainly operating outside the circle of compliance right now. You need to get home and put things right.

Furthermore, the Ukrainians immediately claimed it was shot down, claimed to know who did it, knew the weapon used, withing minutes of it happening with no access to the site. That sounds a bit fishy, albeit not blaming anyone.
They were probably watching Fox News. Did they say anything about it being a missile that if shot at one aircraft would reroute to a larger aircraft in its path?

Yeah, you may want to re-think your stance on this if that's the case.

You don't think they'd say this immediately for the geopolitical benefits to them?


Well, no news agencies are really debating the fact that it was shot down.

I don't know if Ukraine even has SAMs capable of hitting a plane at that altitude, so that means it was probably the Russians, or seperatists that got a hold of a Russian SAM battery. Thats complete speculation on my part.

Not what several experts are saying. Furthermore, the debris information is no where near accurate at this point. You would see significant debris falling before.

Now, it is very possible it was hit by a missile, but assuming it did is another story.


I'm not assuming but all signs point to a missile hit.

You don't know how ECCM systems work do you?

I know the radar operating signatures for let's say APG-68 radar. I know it's emmisions signatur. I need the info to be able to jam it.

In other words the active radar for say a certain missile system like the SA-17 is known. So if you pick up target acquisition radar with that signature one could with a level of certainty conclude that system was used.

All this without discounting the fact we are probably dealing with three lying factions
Ukraine
Russia
Seperatists

I don't blame the president for not making a statement until he is fully briefed on the issue.

Exactly. I mean, at least he wasn't reading a book about a duck to a bunch of elementary school kids. That we just couldn't allow.


Edit: I see old wadewilson already beat me to it.
