Obama calls for immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, demands probe of downed plane

I really wonder if he thinks people care what he says, or especially demands?????

President Obama on Friday called for all sides to “adhere to an immediate cease-fire” in eastern Ukraine and for international investigators to receive unfettered access to the crash site of a Malaysian Airlines passenger jet that was shot down in territory held by Russian-backed separatist rebels.

Mr. Obama said that the evidence points to the separatists, who are armed and trained by Russia, firing the missile that brought down the Boeing 777 and killed all 298 passengers and crew aboard. But he said the final verdict of who was responsible would have to wait the outcome of a “credible international investigation.”

“Evidence must not be tampered with,” he demanded. “Investigators need to access the crash site and the solemn task of returning those who were lost on board the plane to their loved ones needs to go forward immediately.”

Speaking at the White House, Mr. Obama said, “The eyes of the world are on eastern Ukraine, and we are going to make sure that the truth is out.”

The president also announced that one American citizen, Quinn Lucas Schansman, was among those killed on the plane. No other details about Mr. Schansman were provided.

The shot-down passenger jet inflamed already-tense relations between the Washington and Moscow following Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, formerly a part of Ukraine, and continued Russian support for rebel fighters along Ukraine’s border with Russia.

Mr. Obama said the horrific incident in the sky over Ukraine should galvanize international efforts to end the conflict between the government in Kiev, which has forged allegiances with the European Union, and the rebels who want to restore strong ties with Russia.

“This should snap everybody’s heads to attention,” he said.

World leaders are shaking, this "threat" should give them many sleepless nights. Enrique Peña Nieto, Mexican Drug Czar, stated, "The Senor frightens me, I'm gonna take my 798 million dollars and retire, no, no, no the USA he iiss too how you say .... powerfull ... wha, he iss no schwartennagor, no John Wayne, who iss he .... bambam .. wha is dat?"
