Its amazing that on the one hand, with in hours, the US media, Washington and Kiev were able to unequivocally state that the Russians were responsible for downing this Malaysian airplane with a BUK missile. Yet, its been over 5 months and we still don't know what brought down the other Malaysian airplane.
So within hours, we can identify a missile and determine who and where it was launched, yet we don't have the ability to find an entire commercial airliner. Just amazing...
I find it amazing that we don't have a large presence in the middle of the Indian Ocean that was already in place to monitor wayward airliners.
Not that we probably have listening posts and intelligence units closely monitoring the situation in the Ukraine. That would be absurd.
