15:51:38 Retweeted @MiddleEast_BRK15:49:01 The BUK system that downed MH17 was provided to Russians inside Ukraine by the Russian army in the last 48 hrs.
I reported it 3 hours ago.
15:54:34 Note the usual caveat on breaking news. Many reports may turn out to be incorrect or incomplete. No indep confirm of shoot down yet.
15:58:38 Retweeted @thatjohn15:58:21 REPEAT I have seen only UNCONFIRMED reports of #MH17 “shoot down” aspect, from parties involved in Ukraine-Russia conflict.
18:12:42 Only a couple sentences from POTUS. Probably prudent since still huge fog over what actually happened. But still expected slightly more.
18:14:22 “May have been a tragedy” probably bad turn of phrase though. Pretty much know that part, even if still doubt on cause, responsibility, etc.
19:06:54 Retweeted @benparr18:07:01 Cable news no longer breaks news. It has become an aggregator for the news that’s being broken on Twitter and social media.

19:35:35 The dumb ass comment is actually less interesting by far knowing it was just a prank, rather than a real expert saying that.
