About an hour ago, I heard another of those seemingly endless news reports about how international investigators cannot get full access to the crash site of the Malaysian Airlines plane that was shot down with an anti-aircraft missile by Russian separatists in Ukraine. To quote Mrs. Clinton, "What difference does it make?"
The whole world now understands that it was the Russian separatists using Russian military equipment supplied by Putin's Russia that shot down the plane. Sure, the Russians themselves deny this and have blamed the Ukrainians, but that excuse is the rough equivalent of "The dog ate my missiles." American satellites orbit over this area just searching for the signature of missile launches, so there is no question from where the missile came. We do not know whose finger was on the button that launched the missile, but no investigation at the site will tell us that. In short, we already know everything that an investigation could possibly tell us.
So why is the media still focused on this investigation? Are they really so blind to reality that they don't understand that these reports are as relevant as who won the hot dog eating contest at Coney Island on July 4th? It certainly seems so.
