Missing Malaysia Airlines Jet

Have you looked at the headlines on Drudge? Breitbart? Have you read VM's posts?

Well, Drudge actually is just a compilation of articles from around the web. So claiming ownership of a single article...seriously?

Breitbart has the normal articles and seem to be pretty focused on the Ukraine thing.

And you honestly believe VMs posts are indicative of the rest of us?

Seriously? Nobody has brought politics into this nor has anyone been "happy" at the thought of terrorism save Mav.

No, no, of course not. He's not representative of the GOP. I'm just saying there seems to be a contingent of folks, of which he is just one, who is hoping this turns out to be Muslim terrorism to bolster their case that its a defect with the entire religion.

I don't think anyone is hoping that. Many of us are speculating that based on the clues we have and the jihadist's love for hurting innocent people. It's an ugly reality. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away.

A very small contingent. Difference is many, dare I say most of us were willing to wait and listen for the facts as this could have been an accident, mechanical error, terrorism, aliens, travel within the multiverse, etc. Difference was he jumped to the automatic conclusion that it HAD to be Islamic extremists.

My problem with you, as usual, is you decide to introduce politics into a thread where politics hasn't existed. And did so in a quite aloof and ignorant manner.

Further problems with the, "Stole it for a future op" are below;

1. A group can only hide a jumbo jet for so long before discovery

and

2. Once they decide to carry out said op they will not get far at all. As soon as it approaches say US or Israeli airspace it is going to get shot down on sight.

Not if is thought to be a regular commercial flight.
 
I'm not sure on a large commercial plane but on small planes the transponders don't transmit a unique identifier for that particular plane. ATC tells you what to sqwak, you change the transponder code manually and then you are able to be identified by ATC. Large commercial planes my be different.

It's the same.

Have to have the right transponder codes. If it doesn't, or has something hinky about it and is charging for downtown Tel Aviv, what do you think is going to happen?

Has anyone explicitly blamed this Administration? (except you even in an offhand joking manner)

Has anyone explicitly gone out of their way to say "it's the liberals fault!" except in a joking manner?

So why are you zeroing in on the "neocon movement" and attempting to turn this into a left vs right thread?
 
Can we please stop talking about politics and get back to some of the great insider knowledge we have available to us here on VN?

I agree but it is possible to intercept the squawk (transponder code). Take a scheduled flight down in a poor coverage area like the middle of the Pacific and slip right into the flight plan.

Not easy but neither is stealing a 777.

But could someone fly the plane close enough that if they had a nuke that Israel would essentially be late to stop it. They could fly through another country's airspace where Israel couldn't shoot it down right away. Say they fly through a portion of Syria and Syria can claim ignorance.

You and this nuke theory...

Someone asked before, where did they get this nuke from?
