Apparently the US government, via the US embassy in Russia, thinks the report finding a missile destroyed the aircraft was a waste of time.

My heart goes out to the victims of MH17. Too much energy spent trying to cast blame.

If somebody threw that spokesman out of plane five miles in the sky, some grieving would be appropriate but not too much energy should be spent on identifying who was to blame.

Wow. Delivered to the Kremlin's doorstep no less!

I guess we'll see what other lies they have now that the old ones have failed to work.

At this point, I don't see any need for new lies. Looks to me like it's over.

As in the airliner bombing by Libyan agents and other such incidents, the families of the victims will never let this go until Putin is held accountable. I would not.

But that's just it; yes, the incidents are similar and yes, Russia is a rogue nation similar to Libya, but Putin is not Gaddafi (Russia is not Libya). There is no way Putin would ever hand over anyone responsible or even admit guilt, much less pay reparations (Libya did not pay reparations). He can simply ignore them. The US, on the other hand, paid $61 million in reparations for the Vincennes incident.

Sorry, but given the sums for which people in the USA are sometimes suing each other, that amount is a mere pittance. (Yes, I agree, it is better than nothing.)
