Today mainstream are reporting a total of 37 'Australians' residents and non-residents - people who called and were making plans to call Australia 'Home' .

'Status' ....gone.

Who cares where these people called home, 298 people died, most of the world cares about that not where they come from, have respect.

True, you do need some training to operate something like that, BUT do not forget that every reasonably fit young man in the former Soviet union spends 2 years in the army.  It is not impossible that some of the rebels have enough knowledge to operate such launcher.  Not to mention that there have been suggestions that Russians sent an expert to teach them the basics of  how to operate it.  The rebels have shot down about 50 military planes with the smaller missiles (3 000ft.) so the Ukrainain supply planes started to fly higher, out of reach.  While it is most likely that the BUK came from Russians, there is always the chance it was acquired from the Ukraine; they also have them in their **bleep**nal.  The rebels managed to get their hands on many eapons that way. 

OMG!  it bleeped out ar*enal   !!!  LOL

What happened is a tragedy, as any plane crash is. BUT it was an accident, there is no need to start WW3 over it.

What makes you state with such certainty that this tragedy was an 'accident' ?

---

1. Because of the intercepted rebel communication, which shows their surprise that there are bodies of civilians, women and children .  Because shooting down passenger plane will not help their cause; actually it will not help anybody.

You 'know' what most of the world thinks.....and you 'know' through your accusatory comment that I have no respect?

You are indeed very wrong on both counts.

It is with respect for souls lost and anguished loved ones and friends that I QUESTION the dodgy information being put forward by mainstream.

How dare I? ......................I dare, out of respect.

[the_great_she_elephant]

We KNOW you question it. The problem is you have NEVER, EVER, told us WHY you question it (apart from it being in the mainstream media so therefore it must be a lie)., and you have NEVER, EVER told us what you believe the TRUTH to be. 

It is, of course, entirely up to you whether or not you ever do so, but perhaps you can see why some of us find your posts so frustrating.

The rebels are standing there with guns and want let the bodies be taken, Shame

Putin should show he is human and help get the bodies home to their families

Just because Moscow is arming them, and looking forward taking the territory does not mean Putin is exactly in control.  Wonder if anybody is really in control.  

[lionrose.7]

Super I was thinking the same thing today, think the thugs are out of hand I wonder what Putin will do now the pressure is on.
