Associated Press reporter Robert Parry has been told by an intelligence source that the United States is in possession of satellite imagery which shows that Ukrainian troops were responsible for the shoot down of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17.
What I’ve been told by one source, who has provided accurate information on similar matters in the past, is that U.S. intelligence agencies do have detailed satellite images of the likely missile battery that launched the fateful missile, but the battery appears to have been under the control of Ukrainian government troops dressed in what look like Ukrainian uniforms. The source said CIA analysts were still not ruling out the possibility that the troops were actually eastern Ukrainian rebels in similar uniforms but the initial assessment was that the troops were Ukrainian soldiers. There also was the suggestion that the soldiers involved were undisciplined and possibly drunk, since the imagery showed what looked like beer bottles scattered around the site, the source said.
“The tape’s second fragment consists of three pieces but was presented as a single audio recording. However, a spectral and time analysis has showed that the dialog was cut into pieces and then assembled. Short pauses in the tape are very indicative: the audio file has preserved time marks which show that the dialog was assembled from various episodes, the expert said,”

This kind of reminds me of my days in the "field." If you are an asset and you're compromised, plausible deniability and you're cut lose, you're on your own.
The US provided support, weapons and logistics to overthrow the Ukraine government which inadvertently smoothed the way for Russian rebels, the annexation of Crimea and the present stand-off. I would posit that the new Ukraine government is "that" asset and they are in the process of being cut lose, so that the US can distance themselves from involvement by proxy. Just supposition of course, but it looks good from a military and diplomatic strategy vantage point.

Isn't this Ironic... If they have no problems detecting who the culprits are through satellite imagery when it comes to MH17 then why couldn't the same source be used to track the flight path of MH370?

exactly what I was saying in another thread - they gave instructions and means but the Ukrainians didn't quite get the job done so...
...so this false flag is going to waste.
may be turning point in info war against Russia.

The separatists may have had the means to shoot down MH-17, but Ukraine had both the means and a huge incentive to do so.
I said in the other thread.. the US definitely has satellite info and the fact that they haven't released it indicates they don't like what they see.
