    The rule of thumb I've always heard is that if you stay above 30,000 ft, it costs a million bucks to take a shot at you. Pretty spendy for any group without serious backing.
    If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

      Everybody is accusing their enemies of doing it. I did see one article that said Ukraine had recently deployed a battery of Buk missiles to the Donetsk area, whereas I'd seen other articles where Ukraine claimed they had not missiles in the area capable of downing the airplane at such a high altitude. Of course Russia has the Buk missiles also, so I wonder if one can trace whose Buk missile did the deed, assuming it was shot down.

        This was the rebels claiming responsibility before they deleted it.

                A reporter covering Chris Christie in Iowa says a GOP activist just "wondered aloud" if Obama ordered the flight shot down.

                And so it begins...by next week Limpballs will be telling us it was a false flag operation by Obama to distract from Benghazi.

                    It's now being reported that separatists in the area have grabbed the black box. If so, it'll be interesting to see what happens with the black box.

                      that's inaccurate and technology available in 1959 could shoot it down anyway, just ask Francis Gary Powers.. There is no way the Ukrainians did it.

                          I was wrong. We didn't have to wait a week.

                          “Holy cow, folks. Have you seen the news? A Malaysian Airlines flight has been shot down by a missile over Ukraine, at least according to an advisory to Ukraine’s interior ministry. The Interfax News Agency — which has nothing to do with fax machines. It’s what the Soviets used to call their news agency, Interfax. You didn’t know that, did you?

                          “They even had a hotel chain called Interfax and everybody thought, “What? Is it fax machines?” and it had nothing to do with that. Anyway, it’s a Malaysian Airlines jet. You know, I’ve got the British Open on to the top monitor. I haven’t had CNN on all day. What do you bet they have broomed everything and are covering wall-to-wall the Malaysian Airlines flight shot down by a missile?

                          “I mean, you talk about… I don’t want appear to be callous here, folks, but you talk about an opportunity to abandon the Obama news at the border? And, no, I’m not suggesting anything other than how the media operates. Anyway, it’s eerie. It is really eerie. A Malaysian airliner. It was on the way to Kuala Lumpur. Why would it be shot down? Over Ukraine? It was shot down by a missile.

                          “This would lead one to believe that it is not an accident. It carried 295 people, and obviously there are no survivors.”

                                You all are paranoid. All that was said in the quote was that this was opportune for Obama to switch attention from the border (and other of course) problems to Ukraine. Nothing there saying anyone says Obama is behind it.
