Bokkenrijder - you used the word 'regular'. Well that sums it up doesn't it. This is highly irregular.
Get this into your head. A peaceful, civilian plane is proceeding about it's normal, lawful business and is shot from the sky. Separatist rebels in the Ukraine claim to have shot down an AN26 at the same time.
Realisation dawns and they remove any references to the downing from their sites (which they do use A_Van and you know it).
A Buk launcher has been seen in the locality from where the missile was fired. Look back on this thread, there are pictures, one from a reputable news agency AP), also video. Today a Buk launcher, minus at least one missile, is seen being driven from the vicinity towards the Russian border along a route Russians have used before. See my earlier post.
The Russians have been providing the rebels with MANPADS and other weapons and only yesterday a Grad attack on Ukraine has been determined to have been launched from Russia.
why is the US main stream media so determined to point the finger towards Russia?
There are a couple of options here. The Ukraine authorities have cobbled together a marvellous deception which has fooled not only me and my sources in Ukraine but intelligence agencies.
The other option is that all the available evidence point to the Russians.
Does that answer your question?
