Listen to this:
Yeah hes an idiot he didnt say the pro Russians dont have the capability he said the Ukrainians. Which is clearly false unless he misspoke and meant that they didnt have anything in the area that could shoot down the plane that would be true.But quite frankly you never know with that bonehead. Thank god he lost the election i couldnt even imagine him in charge but that aside your misquoting what he said. As for him speaking for the government no the Obama administration doesnt tell him anything and for good reason as you can see hes not very articulate.
Also keep in mind this interview was when the airliner first went down before congregational briefings so hes dancing around trying to act like he knows something and is clueless to the details but any face time is better than none at all to a politician.

McCain is a career politician and everybody knows what that means.
What he says is positioning.

can anyone confirm that Putin was on a plane not far behind the one shot down?
The Kremlin already stated Putin has not flown over Ukrainian airspace in some time. They dismissed the report.
At the same time, there have been reports contradicting Intefax’s report that was the first and the only media source to publish the news, saying that Presidential plane was not flying over Ukraine at the same time.
As a source told Gazeta.ru online news portal, Putin’s plane does take off from Vnukovo-3 [the terminal that accepts business jets], but the president does not fly over the conflict-gripped neighboring country.
“Putin has only one jet – Board One, he does not fly other planes. This plane always takes off from Vnukovo-3, but the presidential plane have not been flying over Ukraine for a while,” the source at Vnukovo-3 terminal said.
President Putin was on his way from Brazil, where he attended the BRICS summit, to Moscow.

Kiev. Ukraine's parliament on Thursday ratified deals with the Netherlands and Australia allowing them to send some 950 "armed personnel" to secure the crash site of downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in war-torn east Ukraine, AFP reported.
The agreements allow the two countries to dispatch "military and non-military" personnel to the scene, although Dutch officials have previously said it would be "not realistic" to send troops in to bolster a team of police experts already on the ground.
