>...Well for one thing, if it was a SAM, then GPS coordinates are
irrelevant. SAM stands for Surface to Air Missile, and those things are
usually radar-guided or heat-seeking missiles meant to destroy aircraft. If
it crashed onto the ground, in Poland or anywhere else, then it was because
it missed its intended target and ran out of fuel; no matter who it belonged
to. It wasn't deliberate because nobody would use a SAM on a ground target.

Ja, the Ukrainians are now saying it was one of theirs, and are apologizing
to the Polish, but the commies are still responsible because the Ukrainians
had to fire the SAM at an incoming drone.  

In any case, it was a kinda cool conspiracy theory while it lasted.  The
conspiracy theory team has been on a hot streak the last few months.  Shows
to go ya: can't win em all.
