Anyone else hear Putin informed Obama of the shootdown?

[AngryAmish]

If true, and Putin ordered it , that is hardcore.

Obama is probably having some real, real serious talk with the Pentagon in the Situation Room right now.

1. Total speculation, for now let's stick to facts which aren't much.

2. Obama, Putin discuss Malaysia plane incident

MOSCOW (AP) — The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Barack Obama have discussed the Malaysia Airlines plane incident over eastern Ukraine.

The Kremlin website published a statement late Thursday that says "the Russian leader informed the U.S. president of the report from air traffic controllers that the Malaysian plane had crashed on Ukrainian territory, which had arrived immediately before the phone call."

The statement gave no further details about what the leaders discussed with regard to the plane crash. The rest of the phone call was dedicated to the general situation in eastern Ukraine, and recent U.S. sanctions against Russian individuals and companies.

4. NBC reported they talked this morning

Also, President Obama is at an event in Delaware right now, but is in touch with the Pentagon and White House.

7. At an event in Delaware?

What sort of event? That can't be true.

17. Speech on funding infrastructure improvements, apparently.

The schedule says he's supposed to go to New York later, but NBC didn't say anything about that.

5. No. Care to share where you "heard" it?

That would be really cool. A link, perhaps, so we can all "hear" it?

8. MSNBC just mentioned now on Ronan's show.

sounded like Putin mentioned to the President.

10. Thanks.

[Agschmid]

15. They mentioned it but the speculation of who ordered it in the OP...

is baseless, and for now should be self deleted.

[AngryAmish]

11. cbs radio.

[MineralMan]

12. Thank you. Sources should be mentioned in any OP, if you have them.

[AngryAmish]

14. very good point

As in all breaking news 2/3 is bound to be wrong.

19. Tht's the latest story reported. Tweet went out bragging of shooting down a Cargo Plane

just before the reports of a Malaysian Airliner being shot down.

Tweet said "they were warned to stay out of our airspace."
It was sent out by a Pro-Russian Separatist Group.

Mistook it for a Cargo Plane & 300 people are dead.

Stupid like the US Tea Party is stupid.
This is horrific

[DonViejo]

16. I was responding to OP.

Specifically this comment: "Obama is probably having some real, real serious talk with the Pentagon in the Situation Room right now."

[DonViejo]

18. Ah, yes. I see.

[misterhighwasted]

20. Yes. Obama was enroute to Delaware when he received Putin's call.

No reports as to what he had for lunch.
