Yes, a big slap at Obama, and an indictment regarding his handling of foreign affairs to date. You seem to be blinded by your particular ideology on this matter. Obama is allowing an invasion on our southern border. He does not deserve respect anymore. His office does, but he has forsaken any obligation towards any personal respect, imo. I don't live in your politically correct world, nor wish to. The emperor has no clothes, get over it.

I agree with you that this was an unfortunate accident and most likely the result of piss poor planning and incompetence. Maybe the missile crew was drunk, who knows ? I don't. To deliberately attack a commercial airliner is an act of terror and not good for those seeking sympathy for their cause. This event is a lot of things rolled into one, but I have yet to conclude that it was anything more than the assholes manning the missiles thought that they had a military flight in their sights and were not skilled enough to verify their target before firing.
I stand behind everything that I have so far posted on this event.
Edit: My "joke" as you term it was anything but. It was an indictment against Obama. Once again, Obama chose to vote "present" on a matter that matters, rather than take a stand and commit himself to anything.

The most likely scenario, he seemed to be saying, was simple incompetence. It takes more than one person to operate that missile system: one or more to locate incoming aircraft, a commander to give the order, and the missile itself has onboard systems that report back status such as signals received from the target aircraft. Apparently several systems that might have prevented this were available but obviously they failed or were ignored/misunderstood.
I was driving and making stops, in/out of the car so I apologize for the spotty summary, but like Kurt, I feel able to flesh out my own theories. Unlike Kurt (and the leadership of Ukraine), I am not able to immediately declare this to be a deliberate machination of Russia or the separatists. I do think the airline (and all the others) who didn't think changing their routes was necessary deserves a solid drubbing in the media. When we get on an airplane, we have no control of its route and we implicitly trust that we will not fly over active war zones, don't we? And Kurt: May/Might, that's not what anyone cares about. Your tone-deaf Obama "joke" before the wreckage was even cool is what set people off. But why should anyone expect you to understand that when you learned everything you need to know about class and good taste from Rush?

All of them seem to be the result of on-the-ground commanders being incompetent or otherwise unable to think rationally about what it is they're doing. A brief glance at some of these shows little or no indication of intent by any government and over-reaching by pilots or local command.

I think that we can safely eliminate the Ukraine gov itsekf, because who would they be shooting at ? The rebels don't have jets that fly at 30k feet.
Obama will have to deal with Putin on this, no matter what. I have little faith in Obama standing up and looking Putin in the eye on this, based upon Obama's performance in foreign policy so far. Obama by his comments and lack of anything further than the two sentences he uttered so far is showing his fear of dealing with Putin. Obama's red lines mean absolutely nothing. His words mean nothing. He has zero cred internationally. He's cut Israel loose and left them to defend and decide for themselves. Israel has zero confidence in Obama.
Part of participating in the poly threads is commenting on things as they happen and drawing conclusions. I want to see if I'm reading things right before the spin and talking points starts. One cannot trust their sources implicitly. This is not about a set up for an I told you so down the road. It about feeling sure enough about things based upon personal observations and the willingness to put them out as correct, not misinforming or deliberately misleading or biased.
I don't know how Obama is going to deal with this. However, my money is on him hoping to sweep it under the rug and avoid a scene with Putin. It will be investigated like everything else and the investigation will last indefinitely providing an out for having to comment on it and go on the record with anything, because its an ongoing investigation and I cannot comment about it until the never ending investigation is over.
And if I wait to offer a comment after things become "official", then I'm just parroting some partisan pundit. I try to speak for myself and avoid copy / paste as much as possible.

To walk any of that back now, well... My first post on this wasn't this morning. The jet was shot down in the morning. I knew about it within the first hour it was shot down. I took a nap at about 11 am and woke up at 1 pm to find the markets going nuts. I didn't post until after 3 pm this afternoon, at least 4 hours after the plane was shot down. I paid close attention to the news from 1 pm til the time I posted, watching the markets go nuts reacting in the process. My current endeavors are extremely geopolitically sensitive. I'm not watching this through a political or emotional filter. I need to figure things out, ASAP and correctly. I trusted my sources. I was sure enough to say so. I was right about a missile. I said it was either the rebels or the Russians themselves that launched it, with my money on the rebels. Obama, meh ... he's just the sad sideshow that enables all the crazy people in the world to do as they wish in the leadership vacuum he has created, because it is too well known that he will do nothing of substance other than screw the citizens he governs. The only threat he poses is to Americans, not the rest of the world. He can't even stop an invasion of our country. He is useless and worthless as a president. The markets are already settling down, reflecting a confidence that Obama will do nothing about today's tragedy. Even Gaza isn't affecting the markets much. By the middle of next week, the only one's who will be still talking about it will be the Republicans and Fox News. Everyone else will have moved along, just as Obama already has. He didn't cancel his two fundraisers tonight. Every time there is a tragedy, he goes to fundraisers. That's how Obama gets over tragedies. That's what he did the day after Benghazi and so many others. I saw the list this afternoon. Its an obscenely shameless pattern of behaviour. Party on Garth ! Party on Barrack ! Goodnight ...

kurtster wrote:ScottFromWyoming wrote: Context: "Obviously, the world is watching reports of a downed passenger jet near the Russia/Ukraine border, and it looks like it might be a terrible tragedy..." He's saying it "might be" a tragedy because he's not confirming the news, only mentioning it. He could have added some more words like "if the reports are accurate, it is a terrible tragedy" but he didn't need to. Only people who take snippets of speeches and see how they can be manipulated (and those who see/hear the manipulated result) got his meaning wrong.
FWIW, I saw Obama speak live. Because I substituted may for might and omittedterrible makes me substantively wrong, eh ? I was working from my memory of the live event.Once again, I am totally wrong about everything I commented on due to technicalities. I guess that I owe the community an apology for illegal use of quotation marks with the intent to mislead and deceive. So y'all can debate grammar and I'll pay attention to the more important parts of all of this. I just saw a tape of his speech again ... Obama said the word MAY not MIGHT. I was correct. The only thing I did wrong was omit the word terrible. I even rewound it to make sure. So you got it wrong, not me. You need to check the sources you quoted.

The policy (along with the State Dept. noise) hasn't changed much since then. Maybe nothing but a full-on invasion of U.S. troops into Gaza could satisfy some warmongers... My cat's name is Tobin. I am not a neocon nor is my cat.

You opined on this before the wreckage had stopped burning.You may or not be right on whatever conclusion you draw. But you draw conclusions before facts are gathered, or even given a high degree of credibility. Why not wait a few hours and be more surely correct instead of looking like a shoot-from-the-hip foregone conclusion maker? But then it's your credibility at stake as a poster, so...Your shots at Obama are taken for granted. You are obviously free to express your very well known and repeated ad nauseam opinion. Why don't you reread what you responded to. And if I wait to offer a comment after things become "official", then I'm just parroting some partisan pundit.That wasn't directed at you or anyone else. It says, if I wait , then I'm ... It doesn't say ScottN or SFW or mutepoint, or steeler or anyone else. How you try and make this into a personal attack on yourself is beyond me. I drew a conclusion based upon the facts that I saw presented. I didn't shoot from the hip. If I had, then I would have been wrong, correct ? Why is it that one is not allowed to draw their own conclusions anymore ? More of the government knows what is best for you, because you aren't smart enough to know what's best for you or think for yourself ? I held back on my snark on Obama in my initial post. I did however answer steeler's question directly. I didn't mince words or evade the question. Credibility ? I assume that I have none in the first place. Doesn't my position on chem trails kill all of my cred before I get started ? Doesn't my support of the Tea Party kill all my cred, too ? Doesn't my position on illegal immigration kill my cred as well ? Oh and let's not forget my position on Global Warming. I am a convicted denier afterall ... Worst of all, I voted for Romney. Hell, I even worked for Romney during the election. The horror ! Long ago I decided that I wasn't going to wait for someone to say "Duck" for when the shit hits the fan. I'm doing my homework so that I will have a clue before it happens.
