My Comment at The Economist
Sinna Thurai said ..
Right! The LTTE was fighting "India on behalf of the Sinhala people!" You are a VERY CONFUSED person .. aren't you? Still REWRITING HISTORY as usual!
The LTTE fought for no one except its own mentally sick illiterate leaders .. not for the Sinhala people, not even for the Tamil people. They were trained and deposited in Sri Lanka for India to serve India's agenda of controlling Sri Lanka, not the LTTE's. This suited the LTTE .. after India rescued them from annihilation by the SL Govt, the LTTE didn't want to give up arms, they wanted to consolidate power in Sri Lanka, and then carry the Pan-Tamil agenda to pry Tamil Nadu from under India. So they attacked the IPKF to get it out of Sri Lanka. When the LTTE refused to fall in line and conform to the Indo-Sri Lanka agreement imposed by India on Sri Lanka by force, and posed a threat to India's stability itself, India had to fight its own creation, the LTTE. But, AT NO TIME, was the LTTE fighting "India on Sinhala people's behalf"; the LTTE just wanted India out of the way, now they believed they could handle the SL Govt by iteself .. A Wrong Decision for which they paid the ULTIMATE PRICE!
You declare, my dear "Sinna" minded Thurai, "There should be a limit to blowing one’s own trumpet".
Nah! Just as little Taiwan fended off mighty China for decades, Switzerland held Hitler's conquering armies at bay, Cuba defeated the US at the Bay of Pigs and foiled future invasions, Briatain held off ALL continental enemies in Europe since the invasion of William the conquerer in 1066, we Sri Lankans can and will hold ALL foreign enemies at bay with military might and our global alliances. That is in our National blood .. not counting our resistance to Chola invasions from time immemorial, and the 400-years of resistance to the Dutch, the Portuguese and the British .. a military history unmatched by any other people confronting the colonial powers .. we will survive with our patritic will and determination to keep this land free of any and all invaders.
We will make it just TOO EXPENSIVE for any invader to even contemplate it. The means we use will be various .. to fit our pocket as well as the natural resources of our own people and nation .. and new and old allies all over the world. Don't worry your "Sinna" head about it!
You declare "I am ashamed of people like you who are detached from vast majority of the people who live in villages and in poverty." without having any notion of who Konappu Bandara is. Don't let his writing style fool you .. this is a patriot to the core firmly grounded in the lifestyle and needs of the ordinary people of Sri Lanka.
And, yes, you would be "ashamed" of such people and their leaders, especially when they were front and center to foiling your separatist plans for our Resplendent Isle that will in the next decade become the new "wonder of Asia." Sinna, just mind your own garden in Virtual Eelam!

My Comment at The Economist
Ah! Yes! We now come to that familiar old exaggerated refrain "Further in the past 40 or so years the Sri lankan state has been constantly engaged in war with its own people which resulted in the killing about 300,000 since 1971."
Half a lip, Half a leap, Half a League, Onward to undermining the Sri Lankan state, my dear Sinna! Conveniently lost is the mighty, ultimately suicidal, effort of the LTTE and its adoring Tamil Diaspora, in fomenting the separatist violence that elicited the defensive response of the Sri Lankan government. A response that no elected government can forego in serving its duty to protect and defend its electors. If anything, previous Sri Lankan governments are GUILTY of NOT DOING ENOUGH, not raising the armied forces necessary to end the separatist terrorism that confronted the nation, to free its people of terrorism and secure its territorial integrity.
When the Confederate States seceded, US President Abraham Lincoln did exactly what the present Mahinda Rajapaksa government of Sri Lanka did, ignored all initial reverses, raised the massive armies necessary to fight a dedicated enemy bent on destroying the nation, and persisted until he found the talented Generals who could deliver him victories. This man, who was vilified in his day for his ferocity in pursuing the US Civil war, is now revered for his compassion and dedication to his vision of ONE great nation with a ONE united people, we now see. Many generations of US citizens, from his day to ours, have benefited from his dedication to preserving his country whole.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa is no different, notwithstanding your chagrin at his monumental success! His motivation is not that of "unashamedly trying to steal their sacrifices for their personal glory", but the discharge of his bounden duty to his nation and the welfare of all of his people.
You say a restructuring of the State of Sri Lanka is long due, but towards what end? To set the stage for the rise of separatism, of terrorist violence, of the creation of communal fiefdoms to serve racist aparthied Tamil aspirations, or to secure and weld the country into ONE Nation Indivisible, ONE People Indivisible sharing ONE Destiny Indivisible?
President Mahinda Rajapaksa is not a "merchant of death" as your Sun God, Thalaivar, and Supreme Monster, the now DEFUNCT Vellupillai Prabhakaran was.
He is the Elected Leader of ALL of his countrymen, now re-elected by a LANDSLIDE, to consolidate his eradication of terrorism last year, by endowing Sri Lanka with a decade of political stability and UNIMAGINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH. That will be his legacy to his people, to the CONFUSION and FRUSTRATION of all Eelamist Propagandists trolling Virtual Eelam!
Long Live the Motherland!
Jayawewa, Sri Lanka!
this puts WW directly in the firing line.
i'm sure gonzeka is now plotting to get rid of WW.
govt should cut gonz's security and give it to this guy.
further blickering on the fate of gonz is counter productive. govt should firmly act.
Moshe Dyan said ..
[govt should firmly act.]
Yes, Moshe, we are of one mind.
The Govt should gather together all of the evidence of criminal activities by SF, arrest and hold him without bail, prosecute him in court, and send him to prison for the rest of his life.
Delay in allowing him to foment further divisions in the country, while ignoring his own huge transgressions against the nation and its people, would amount to a dereliction of duty by the GOSL.
Bravo Wimal Sahodaraya...
Jayawewa aiya!!!
I have been watching how you, often single handedly, been battling anti-SL traitorous whore from the Opposition RW=TNA=LTTE=SF camp and my dear brother, I take off my hat to you!
I sincerely hope the MR will bestow you with a VERY HIGH RANKING position within the GOSL as you deserve nothing less brother.
One day when you contest for the CEO of our Motherland, you can bet you bottom Rupee that I for one will vote for you!
Budusaranai Aiya,
OaO Asithri
Patrios, I have been in contact with my contacts in SL regularly since before and after the PE elections (that saw magnificent results I might add).
However today I talked to some key people within the UNP clan and they said the ‘blame game” is running rampant within the Opposition Force and frankly they are DISGUSTED and plan to drop their support for the UNP and while a few (very few) might support MR UPFA at the forthcoming GE, many are going to leave support for politics altogether.
Trying to point blame for the disastrous defeat of the SF dog, here are some of the pet “blame game” peeves that I was told running around in the Opposition circles today:
• Die-hard, old-crony UNP stalwarts are blaming RW for bringing in JVP into the fold – and they say this is why the traditional UNP vote was less this time
• A section of the die-hard UNP, but people with patriotic hearts, are blaming RW and SF for latching onto the TNA (aka LTTE) and they say this is why they could not muster enough support from the average SL citizen and would be converts from MR side. They say the cost of living especially was the key “sway point” with the masses out of Colombo, but when SF got into an agreement with TNA’s Sampathan, it all went Kaputs! Why? Because the average Sri Lankan hates the LTTE much more than they hate the higher price they have had to pay for essential commodities since of late.
• Somawansa-type, the washed-out JVP old buggers – well they blame SF for being too cozy to the Colombian Crowd that RW pandered to. They say they tried their best to get SF to see realty, but given the influence of RW ( and his types) such advice fell on deaf ears of SF.
• Progressive JVP younger types – they blame the loss squarely on the Somawansa-type, the washed-out JVP old buggers as they had wanted SF to get on stage on speak on “real issues” instead of harping on “MR corruption” “MR nepotism” etc. as they had even presented a “economic development model with comparisons” as the vehicle to do so, but well, the old guard had won (who were insistent on “politics of hatred” and not on “ real issues”).
• SLMC Rauf and his ilk – not openly, but secretly they blame the loss squarely on SF not being able to control his “filthy mouth.”
• Mano Ganeshan and his ilk – not openly, but they too are secretly they blaming the the loss squarely on SF for not being able to control his “filthy mouth”
And last but not least,
• SF whoredog is blaming the loss squarely on MR carrying out gross vote rigging !!!
:)) :)) :))

Good Job at Economist.. Ananda-USA.. (more pain for multipolar.. HIKz) (first link is wrong though) KB too..
Its non other than we have to do counter propaganda in international media against peelaam di-ass-pora donkeys and their mis-info campaign..
RohanaW had a great talent to rally youth but after he collected 200,000 youth around him he didn't know how to proceed and he end up with death together with half of he gathered.
WimalW too has the same talent but unlike RohanaW WimalaW has some wisdom. In fact, he put country before party at least two times.
1. 2005- JVP according to theory should have contested seperately so that rightist UNP wins. Such political environment gives more chances for leftist JVP to attract people. Further they should have kept nationalistic leader MR away while supporting CBK to remain as SLFP leader. Then JVP could attract more people along nationalistic line too. But inside JVP politburo WW played key role supporting MR. We know the rest.
2. In budget vote its non other than WimalW made JVP to vote for budget when war was in crucial stage.
3. After 2005 PE JVP politburo decided by majority not to join MR. I think WimalW and NandanaG argued for joining but they were defeated.
Ananda,
Finally found a complete upload of the same Thulaawa with WW, Dilan and Rajitha in 17 parts. There is much about Sarath N Silva and lastly how WW goes on to describe some of the death threats that Fonseka has supposedly uttered.

OAOA,
we have to keep RW as the UNP leader.
at first when gonz came as the UNP's PE candidate, i was happy. i thought this is great as 2 nationalists would grab all the votes.
but my expectations were dashed when gonz like RW, like premadasa started arse kissing tamil elamists.
this proves that there is an unseen MASSIVE force behind the UNP that makes ANY leader lick tamil elam arses.
UNP needs a REALLY courageous leader to break free. i doubt karu, even sajith or rukman got that courage. the TE camp is rich, well connected and brings in at least 500,000 votes WITHOUT FAIL.
arse licking the TEs means other vote benefits too. SLMC, WPF, etc. also come with this TE shit like maggots. CWC and UPF are also powerfully lured to TE shit although they partly MANAGED to stay away from this shit THIS TIME.
this is why we need a weak opposition until the danger to SL reduces substantially.
but SLFP can also go to shit as it did in 1970-77 and 1994-2005. in this case, ppl MUST support the UNP (even if it is worse than the SLFP) so that TE arselickers like sirima and CBK are punished and a better leader is selected for the SLFP.
in 1976 sirima didn't bother to stop the ULTRA RACISM of TULF and terrorism of LTTE.
she instead gave more and more to their supporters at the expense of others.
standardisation was no better bcos what jaffna lost, batti, trinco, vanni gained.
India to court martial its top general
http://www.island.lk/2010/02/01/news3.html
It is confirmed Gonseka has multi polar disorder? He keeps flip flopping like a mad monkey and crying like a little sissy baby. What happened to the "tough" soldier?
I won’t run away – SF
Opposition presidential candidate General (Retd.) Sarath Fonseka said an affidavit prepared by him would be made public if anything untowards happened to him.
Addressing a media briefing at his residence on Saturday evening, he said his office had been searched for about five hours on Friday (January 29) afternoon by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), assisted by the Special Task Force (STF).
They had been looking for arms and ammunition, but they only found some retired army officers who were helping me in my campaign office and they had been taken into custody and my office was sealed, Fonseka added.
Fonseka lost the January 26 election to President Mahinda Rajapaksa with the large majority, but did not accept the final result announced by Elections Commissioner Dayananda Dissanayake.
Fonseka said:"All my security personnel and vehicles provided by the government have been taken away. Army officers who worked for me, even when I was Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) have either been removed or transferred. The Government has given me only three Policemen and an Inspector." He said he had been compelled to employ 15 unarmed private security personnel and some retired army personnel loyal to him.Even the Cinnamon Gardens Police had declined to entertain a complaint regarding the raid by the joint CID/STF units on Friday at his campaign office, he said.
He added that he would not run away from those problems, but face them courageously like a brave soldier.
"I am a Sri Lankan, and will not take temporary shelter in any other country. These are canards spread by the government," the former army chief said.
Fonseka asked how 30 people could assassinate President Rajapaksa and family, when he travelled around in bullet/bomb proof vehicles with a vast security contingent.
Fonseka said:"This is a false and baseless allegation against me, like the one they spread that I was organising a coup. The Rajapaksa Government is trying to demoralise me. They forget that I was the commander who defeated LTTE terrorists. The government is trying to get rid of me by making wild allegations and attempting to turn the people against me. They will never succeed as the people are with me and know how the elections were rigged."
He said that when S B Dissanayaka (who crossed over to the government ranks just before the Presidential election) met the Mahanayakes in Kandy after the polls, the Mahanayake of Malwatte Chapter, Venerable Tibbatuwawe Sri Siddharta Sumangala Thero, had told him that the government should not reduce his (Fonseka’s) security in any form, and ‘SB’ had assured the Malwatte Mahanayake that it would not be reduced.
But the government, as usual, had not listened even to the Mahanayakes, Fonseka alleged.
Meanwhile, Parliamentarian and Presidential advisor Basil Rajapaksa said General Fonseka should not leave the country, but face allegations against him and need not fear for his life.
Defence Secretary Gothabaya Rajapaksa said the government was considering action against General Fonseka for revealing sensitive information to the public.
The Defence Secretary said that General Fonseka had made false allegations against him in public. "If Fonseka has violated the laws of the country, we will take the necessary legal action," said the Defence Secretary.

mahanakiyas should not meddle with law and order.
it is a shame that they kept quiet and even supported the move to seperate baby elephants from their mother elephants and now trying to save a murderer, rapist, traitor and a foul mouthed asshole from the LAW!!!
Gonseka had one last chance to earn some respect from public by accepting his defeat, congratulating MR, and leaving politics saying he accept people's verdict in democracy and apologizing for blunders he made in his campaign.
Instead, he complains like a cry baby, threaten like a thug and speak like a clown.
I too had a dream of two nationalistic leaders leading two main parties when Gonseka entering politics rumors came - but lasted only weeks if not days. Like it or not now we have to support RW to remain as UNP and opposition leader in the name of democracy. After 3-4 years UNPers should find nationalistic leader.
If UNP, CWC, SLMC, JVP, JHU, JNP, SLFP all contest separately in GE we can know real strength they have. But I hope UPFA contest with JHU and JNP (otherwise JHU and JNP will be out). But MR should let CWC, karuna, DD to contest alone. SLMC and manogona contesting alone is good for them as their supporters will vote for them as they know they will be any way in opposition.
It is clear the SF is getting cornered. He first feared what he was going to do to MR, GR and others will be done on him by MR/GR.
In fear he shivered and loked cover himsself in interantional protection. Feared to come out.
As I saw him he is extreme coward.
Now he knows that MR and GR cannot fall into his law level. He, infact thinks, this is their weakness. Brutism is always a sign of strength and masculinity for SF.
Still he knows that his days as a free man is numbered. So he cries and balckmails to reveal state secret assuming that his blank threats will be taken seriously by the Government.
He does not understand why the Govenrment did not arrest him before the election even thouhgh the fovernment had enoug evidence. He thinks it is weakness.
SFists were asking that if the alegations were true why he was not arrested. This does not mean that they accept or should accept that if SF was arrested it prove the alegations. At the same time they will demonstrate only their abhorrent hypocrisy if they cry foul when SF is arrested. They should let the court decide.
Gonseka should just come clean.
Tell everyone the truth.
Tell us about his dealings with Blake.
Tell us how he was blinded by rage and joined the nations enemy.
Tell us how he he conspired with them and their plots plans against he nation (he's in the know now).
Apologise to the nation
Congradulate MR
Then if wants try for the GE.
Meh, you can always hope.
To win even a faintest respect for him, SF must confess and show remorse for all the brutalism, rapes, unnecessary deaths in the army(Muhammale) and many ohter things and he himself goes in front of the court and ask for the harshest punishment.
If he keeps ranting like the revenge driven ego bloated mad man he is let him contest the GE too. He will have to do it alone since his alliance already views him as a liability as a result of the squeaking hyena show we were subjected to during the PE period (indications so far).
Then he will know what the people think again, since he is in denial about the first verdict the nation gave him.
He will be a sad lonely tosser and pariah of SL forever depending on the direction he takes now.
What he was trying to do to the Nation was much more serious than everything he had done to the other people and the Naiton upto the point of election.
Forgiving in heart humanism. Tolerating an humane mistake is divine.
Tolerating inhumanism, crimes against humanity, Nation is Devilish itself.
Gonseka might be afraid that if he turns on his white masters they will punish his family in US and try him for war crimes.
It will EXPOSE the West. Further his failure to do so shows what a weak man he is, which explains why he was "corrupted" by the West in the first place.
If he loves the country as he claims, he should prove it in deed. Whatever he did during the war means nothing because he sold us out for whatever twisted reasoning and excuses he trots out.
IMO he took credit for others (PS, JJ, SS, JD) hard work while he was living in luxury in Colombo and hates them bitterly because they are better than him.
Even during the war his major specialities were alcholism, womanising, telephone sex, corruption, fighting with officers, brutalism on cooks and waiters and subbordinates, sacrificing soldiers to VP.
Intermittantly he has served as a killing machine and a yelling machine while GR and and other capable officers ran the war.
So the scum ball Danuna Tilakaratne was in SL all along.
This fits in with what Sam said earlier about him being wanted for fraud in the US hence could not go back.
http://www.asiantribune.com/news/2010/02/01/danuna-tilakaratne-arms-dealer-son-law-fonseka-getting-cornered
Have the rest of the Gonseka's left leaving mad Gonz behind or are they in SL still?
I don't see a single good reason at least to offer membership-yet alone leadership, unless UNP itself wants to destroy their own party.
However, JVP can offer him PM candidate from their party.. We can see better comedy than Somahansa as JVP PM candidate.
Another good thing Gonseka can do is contest for GE alone and see how many votes he gets.. but MR changes results in computer ne.. ekath hari yanna..
Pol Sambol said ...
[Gonseka should just come clean.]
He can't do this. If he does, he will not leave ANYTHING for the GOSL to prove. At this point, the only thing he can do is to FLEE ABROAD.
SU said ...
[Now he knows that MR and GR cannot fall into his law level. He, infact thinks, this is their weakness. Brutism is always a sign of strength and masculinity for SF.]
Yes. SF was really scared of what the GOSL was going to do just before and just after the PE. Now, he has recovered his courage and is trying to get up to the same old bullying tactics as in the past, thinkg that the GOSL has no options but to tolerate his antics.
But, this is a great mistake, and a terrible misjudgment, on his part .. just as erroneous as VP's mistake in taking MR on.
As he becomes a greater threat to the GOSL, the response will come swiftly in the form of arrest and quick prosecution. Once that process begins, the political stakes in winning it rise, and there will be no backtracking for SF.
SF has just enough time now to flee abroad to some safe haven. He should do that, and spare himself, his family and his country further harm.
BreatheSL,
Thanks again for the new links. Let me view them and decide how to use them. :)
su,
you seem to be confused about this.
"Forgiving in heart humanism. Tolerating an humane mistake is divine.
Tolerating inhumanism, crimes against humanity, Nation is Devilish itself."
ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. YOU & ME
"Forgiving in heart humanism. Tolerating an humane mistake is divine."
IN FRONT OF THE LAW
"Tolerating inhumanism, crimes against humanity, Nation is Devilish itself."
blind law must be enforced. thereafter we can rest our case and forgive SF ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. lets not burden ourseves after that with hurt and hate.
western criminal justice system is based on these christian concepts which are actually sensible.
sadly in MOST acts of the MR govt it takes a long time and a lot of confusion/rumours for the rubber to hit the ground.
sooo inefficient.
enough talking about gonz, now punish him. take him to courts.
bipolar is right at last about how PATRIOTS disturb peace!!
but as usual in the wrong context.
US-china relations are in jeopady after US agreed to give taiwan among others, patriot missiles, appaches and tanks.
china is most worried about patirot missiles that can make chinese missiles look like toys.
douglas devananda considering retirement bcos MR lost in north
he must be mad!!
DD did a GREAT job and he must stay on.
we never wanted to win the north. what we wanted was to reduce the margin which DD achieved very well.
if DD retires, tamil ultra racists from sambandan to ASS (ananda singari) will have a vaddai-kundi party.
President Gonseka Claims to be the Frigging President!
This sad man has come the full circle and is now a "joker and clown"!
Anicchawatha Sankara!
Rajapaksa is Rigged President: Fonseka
P.K.Balachandran
January 30, 2010
COLOMBO: The defeated joint opposition Presidential candidate, Gen.Sarath Fonseka, has claimed that Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa had rigged the January 26 election and that it was he and not Rajapaksa, who had won the election.
“I am the Peoples’ President and Rajapaksa is the Rigged President,” Fonseka told the media here on Saturday.
For proof that the poll was rigged, he recalled that Election Commissioner, Dayananda Dissanayake, had publicly stated that there were many malpractices.
Fonseka contended that Rajapaksa knew that it was he who was really elected. The President was therefore adopting the tactics of “Idi Amin” to silence him and prevent him and his supporters from functioning politically.
“All kinds of false charges are being made against me and my supporters; that we were planning a coup and the assassination of the President and his family.My political office had to be closed because they raided it on Friday, and took away 23 computers and arrested 20 supporters. Several more were under questioning,” he added.
“Thirteen army officers, including three Majors General, three Brigadiers and two Colonels, have been sacked because they had worked under me,” Fonseka said.
“They are looking for people who are loyal to me.The Rajapaksa brothers will soon find that everybody is loyal to me and that only the Rajapaksa brothers are loyal to each other!” the retired Army Commander turned political leader said.
Referring to the series of transfers in the army and the appointment of Maj.Gen.Daya Ratnayake as the Chief of Staff (number two in the Army) Fonseka said that the incumbent Chief of Staff was sent away and a junior had been posted in his place.
US-china relations are in jeopady after US agreed to give taiwan among others, patriot missiles, appaches and tanks.
Its the same deal Bush offered, then watered down then got booted by Taiwan Parliament. Bush then tried again China said no, Bush backed off, China said "good relations with US".
Now Obama comes along with the same deal Bush gave.
Proves
A) US cannot be trusted
B) Taiwan is being ripped off. The price tag for the weapons offered is INFALTED.
Its like Saudi buying F-15s at twice the price which they will never use, and without the software codes will be useless in any confrontation save against Syria who they will never fight in any case.
Ananda,
Did not Gonseka give a list of people he was going to kill and another list of who he was going to imprison.
Proves what a scum he is. Did he learn this sort of Ranil lies recently or did he exhibit this behaviour earlier?
I am exactly saying what you are saying.
To forgive and forget about SF's crime is itself an act of great inhumanity.
It needs to go to the court.
There are things that can be fogiven, forgotten in personal laevel, and some times also in the legal level.
Once I was involved in accident at my fault (in the USA) and I was under prescribed medicine. The other got hurt a little bit and was hosptitalised for a day.
In the court room, the judge had the access to a letter I wrote to the plaintif. The judge read it and said "your reomorse is very refreshing" And he forgave me and the other side did not object.
By the way by writing that letter I had thrown away all my legal protection and my lawyer did not have any thing to defend me. I refused to play game in the court.
My last post is for Moshe.
“I am the Peoples’ President and Rajapaksa is the Rigged President,” Fonseka told the media here on Saturday.
how naive and immature!
no people's president hid his arse in a hotel a day after the election.
ashamed to face the NEIGHBOURS!!!
Fonseka, is this what you wanted? Looks very much so...

Lankan Army loses foreign training
The Army has not received any invitation to take part in training exercises and combat courses overseas especially for the special forces and army commandos following the white flag allegations raised by the former army chief General Sarath Fonseka.
Military Spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara, speaking to Daily Mirror online, said that several European countries which used to invite the Sri Lankan military for training had now snubbed the island nation as a result of the allegations allegedly raised by the former military chief.
General Fonseka was quoted in a weekend newspaper prior to the recent Presidential elections as saying some senior LTTE officials were killed by the military despite surrendering with white flags.
The General however rejected ever making such claims in the interview and threatened to sue the newspaper over the report but has not done so as yet. (GS, SD)
Ananda, dear chap, thanks for slapping down that annoying gadfly at Economist.com. The guy started out with a superior attitude of how Ceylon was a paradise under British and the Sinhala spoiled it. The guy seemes to be typical Peelam plonker who just spouts whatever nonsense that he thinks will discredit Sri Lanka. Finally the guy came around to saying he is concerened about people who live in villages whereas few posts before they were all Sinhalese Chauvanists. What a retard!
Cheers!
SK,
With regards to foreign training, how much did we get from them (US/EU) during the last 4 years? Very little and i'd go so far as to say none.
Secondly why do we need foreign training now? Our guys are the best. We do not need racist suddhas who do not follow their own stupid rules telling us how to fight.
Only difficult area is flight training and India & Pak have always helped us in this regard.
This obsession with all things foreign, especially white, being gold must stop.
Its not a loss. It is a gain. can understand DailyMirror weeping about t because they are after all Ranilams and Colombians
Pol;
Nothing shud be barred. If they are not good we're free to stop sending ppl there. But We shud not have lost the goodwill in that manner. Especially a traitor used few lies in order to gain votes in his campaign. For all those betrayals on white flag event e must have gotten a total of ~500k votes.
Even in his own mind is it worth to betray our nation like taht for a mere 0.5%?
@ Konnapu Bandara & Ananda
It is understandable why Tamils hark back to the "good 'ole days" when they were buttressed ahead for being Tamil and ran a lovely apartheid with their white master while slaughtering and dimensioning into servitude and poverty the indigenous non-Tamils.
Suddhas also love it when people suck up to then. They hate to see a nation prosper with out "them", or prosper at all. That is why they hate China helping Africa. Goodness forbid an African nation (e.g. Angola or Chad) emerging as a developed nation. Those trash still think Africa and Africans are their sole property. They think the same in SL because of Colombians and Tamils.
Make sure you save your comments. Because i guarantee next article from Economist those Tamil tarts will be back with the same old crap, as will the Economist writers. As i have encountered dealing with them on various forums over the years, once you defeat their BS, they wait a few weeks even days and start the same garbage up again which was easily disproved earlier. Multipolar business is also vital for the sudden amnesia.
That said also note the Economist is an extremely racist rag. Just see what thy wrote about China and India and their inhabitants 10 years ago.
Folks,
I wonder if Ravi K and Malik S are around. We need to catch those two bastards and Mustafa before they vanish. All of them needs to be given the maximum sentences permitted by the law for trying to fraudulently change the democratic will of the people, which is treason.
sam,
agree.
the bribe thing is probably true.
< 15 jan, at least 2 MPs crossed over for a week
> 15 jan NO ONE CROSSED OVER!!
how strange!
SL has not punished any big crook for corruption. if these MFs can be punished, it will go a very long way.
it may end their political careers as well.
Moshe, Sam,
Not only does the Bribe thing expose them, it will bring the West into the dock.
I'm sure a scum lie Ravi K will actually crack easily. People like them are only good with their mouths spreading lies and putting up illusions of leadership and ability. They are dirty scum that would cry at the sight of a plastic knif.
I just wish MR would pursue these issues.
The only think they did thoroughly was the war.
Even the international propaganda front during the war was half-assed and poorly done. They did not even notice the nature of the threat and still do not.
In fact MR MUST push the issues raised during the PE such as this. It will give him even MORE credility next time they do a bust and scum like Ravi K, Gonseka, Ranil are conspiring against the nation.
Chaps, have you see the article on TamilNut about Eelam granny, a 90 year old witch who poisoned the minds of Jaffna youth as a teacher in a public school in the 60s? The old hag drew a salary from the same government she plotted to overthrow. Now she is living in London happily with her kids and grandkids while the poor youth she brainwashed lie six feet under in Peelam cemetories. We need to make sure that Tamil medium teachers today are monitored properly to ensure that they do not poison the minds of next generation of Tamil kids.
Eelam Achchi
Cheers!

From what WW and others on the Thulawa Videos were saying, the GOSL has these lists. Don't know how; perhaps from the derserters they arrested and the raids on the offices. Who knows; they even knoe about SF's drunken rages and verbal threats!

Young murders and terrorists ultimately become old; age does not exonerate them.
For example, I would like to see Adele Balasinham brought to book for her LTTE activities, such as distributing Cyanide to LTTE child soldiers in Sri Lanka.
Why is the UN and the GOSL not pursuing this war criminal?
KB,
"We need to make sure that Tamil medium teachers today are monitored properly to ensure that they do not poison the minds of next generation of Tamil kids."
sorry to disappoint you, this is happening EVERYDAY.
it is IMPOSSIBLE to stop this.
(only exception is international schools where tamil kids are like the rest. no BS.)
that's not all.
1. parents
2. newspapers
3. tamil TV news
4. even cultural shows
poison their minds CONTINUOUSLY.
what?? cultural shows????
e.g.
growing up in wellawatte not so long ago i used to go to SL tamil cultural shows organised by schools and uni students.
unlike english and sinhala school cultural shows, these are not school events.
school/university tamil cultural shows are COMMUNITY events. at EVERY show there is MASSIVE TE brainwashing takes place.
as a kid i didn't miss the satta kalloori thamil kazai vila.
EVERY FCUKING TIME the debate is about the TE struggle. this gpes between students and OLD (really old) lawyers.
students argue that LTTE is perfect and the struggle is justified while the OLD men "PRETEND" to argue otherwise.
(its so fcuking obvious!!!!)
as expected, the students whack the shit out the old buggers and the hall goes boom boom!!!
just ONE example.
i know a young guy whose job is to travel around the world, and he goes to schools as well, speaking about tamil elam. that's his livelihood.
Which Ethnic Conflict is This?
Sure, as soon as India accepts Sri Lanka as a mediator for ALL of the Ethnic Conflicts raging in India, and affecting 800 million people.
I am NOT KIDDING! Sri Lanka should send a mission to Sri Lanka demanding such a role on behalf of our UMBILICAL cousins in North India!
Do UNTO India as Sri Lanka is DONE UNTO! .. all on a PERFECTLY AMICABLE basis .. of course!

India is working with Sri Lanka on a political solution to ethnic conflict
ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Jan 31, Colombo: Indian government is working with the government of Sri Lanka on a solution to the ethnic conflict that is satisfactory for all the communities in the country, an Indian official said.
India's National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon told media after meeting with the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi in Chennai today that India is also assisting the Sri Lankan government on the resettlement and the rehabilitation of displaced Tamils.
Menon said he assured the Chief Minister that the central government continues to do whatever it can to find a solution acceptable to all the communities.
"We are working with the Sri Lankan government both in terms of resettlement of displaced people and also in terms of devolution of power in the political arrangement that will satisfy all the communities in Sri Lanka," the National Security Adviser said.
"Indian Government is continuously holding talks with Sri Lanka on these; we insist the Sri Lankan government to resettle the Tamils in the same place where they lived before the war and they should get adequate devolvement of powers," Menon added.
He said the Chief Minister Karunanidhi expressed concern over the Indian fishermen detained in Sri Lanka and their condition.
we cannot go along the beaten track and expect to find a solution.
while general appeasement of ALL citizens continue, we have to frustrate tamil RACIST aspirations by "ROBBING" their tamil only homeland from them.
i blame them little for making everything under the sun tamil and anti-tamil.
we have to do frustrate them democratically and PEACEFULLY through rapid, mass recolonization of the north ASAP.
they should give up TE themselves. we CANNOT force it. the more we force it, the more motivated they become.
biggest fun in lecturing kids in tamil classes in colombo is the secrecy and the feeling that "we are doing something that will piss the govt off"!!!!
all good patriots avoid these fact.
1. 99% SL tamils want tamil elam (whatever name they use)
2. there is NOTHING wrong in that.
3. they can dream, wish, aspire and do whatever legal to get it.
4. like we value ethnic integration everywhere they value a tamil nadu like place in SL. i cannot say one view is superior to the other bcos both are same.
5. we have NO FCUKING RIGHT to tell tamils to drop their TE demand. we can request. that's all.
6. what we should do is to make TE impossible/unattainable/unachievable/unreachable/impractical. that will compel them (not we compelling them but facts and ground reality) to give up TE.
7. colonization is the only way to do it.
Moshe pDayan said...
[7. colonization is the only way to do it.]
Who's got balls to do it?
King will not do it. SF had a change in heart and tried to sleep with Tamils.
The blog has become sooo boring.
there is a surge in tamil elam activity today just 3 days to independence.
earlier it was monkeypala and now ASS (ananda singari). the old fart from kili won't die.
he says, "I humbly appeal to the TNA Members of Parliament in general and to M/s. S.Senathirajah, R.M.Imam, Selvam Adaikalanathan, Vinotharalingam and Suresh Premachandran of the Federal Party, TELO and the EPRLF of the alliance, not to mislead the innocent Tamil speaking people who easily get swayed by sentiments."
"not to mislead the innocent Tamil speaking people who easily get swayed by sentiments"!!
lol!
this is a disgrace to tamils in general.
i don't think so ASS. stop playing the "MODA-RATER", ASS. first drop your vaddai-kundi crap and TULF crap OPENLY and come clean.
this MF did NOTHING for MR at the election. now the bugger comes to lick arses and get racist demands.
sakkiliya!
govt can trust YOUNG TNA MPs who defected from TNA who are no part to vadda-kundi resolution, but not this ASS again.
parrots,
it is not that difficult.
it is being done slowly. in fact the IC supports it.
only thing is govt should do it faster and efficiently.

Wow just wow. Guess they still think they are "King makers". MR is also playing to this with his Tamil appeasement policy. He wants to show them and everyone he is a good guy at heart. Yeah we know that, but do not bother convincing Tamilia or the West. First they do not care whether he is a good guy ot nor, secondly they want to squeeze out as much as possible and more for world Tamilia.
On the plus side guess they too acknowledge MR victory haha, another spit in the face for Gonseka

Indiais working with the Sri Lankan government for the resettlement and rehabilitation of the displaced Tamils and devolution of powers in a political arrangement that will satisfy all sections, National Security Adviser Shiv Shankar Menon said on Sunday.
Talking to reporters after meeting Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi here, Mr. Menon said it was a courtesy call. They discussed various issues.
Mr. Menon said the Chief Minister had expressed concern at the repeated instances of firing on Indian fishermen and their treatment in Sri Lanka, and also the condition of the displaced Tamils.
“I assured him that the Indian government would do whatever it can on these issues,” he said.

Nice article below. Among the JHU leaders, I have the greatest respect Rathana Thero. Again he's spot on.
There is no other way to gap the differences than a mixture of cultures. But bringing northern tamils on trips to zoo and museum can't help. We need to look at how the gaps are filled. Nothing but mixing two ppl solves the problem.
First time I saw this addressed by a govt party. But see how off rooted the commenters are.

Yeah, I saw this earlier and was wondering what the hell is going on. We cannot loose a guy like this. He has done a solid job to the nation. Aren't these the guys we should be promoting? We need to give Tamils who are trust worthy some top post ASAP.
Ethic Integration, Zero Devolution and High level positions for some Tamil Leaders are a must if we want a lasting peace in SL.

Honestly this is a pointless exercise. Sheer madness. We wouldn't go anywhere trying to charge SF for trying to assasinate MR. If RW has that kind of balls he would have been the president. They are politicians and not murderers.
You can bring charges against SF saying this guy is dilusional, but trying to charge him for Assasination of MR would be tough.
If LTTE couldn't assasinate MR, SF wouldn't either, not with his rag tag army deserters.
If we are going to charge him, the best time is 3 - 4 months after the GE, when every one has forgotten about him. I am sure if we let this guy loose, he will self destruct, taking UNP and JVP with him.

I do not know what is happening. I am a little nervous whether the Government has lost the plot.
Or the Government has to explain how SF was doing all these without making Ranil Karu as accomplishes or knowers.
Or UNP could be the informant and the Government has promised to keep the lid over that. There was a rumour that Ranil was meeting MR on the midnight of Election eve.

My Comment at The Economist
This is in response to a litany of quotations questioning the value of Patriotism.
...........
Sinna Siththar,
For every one of your quotations calling patriots scoundrels and questioning their motives as base, I can provide TEN others that hold patriotism to be among the noblest of human emotions.
Rather than engage in a war of numbers, I offer you my principle for sorting patriotic wheat from wind-blown chaff: Patriotic quotations from those who have actually fought in a field of battle for their country, or have borne the responsibility for the survival of their people. The following are such quotations from credible patriots who have earned their red badge of courage; not merely literary pundits pontificating without any personal experience:
"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori,"
- Quintus Horatius Flaccus (Horace), [Ancient Roman Poet, and Army Officer(tribunus militum), (65BC -8BC)]
“I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country.”
- Nathan Hale, [American Soldier and Revolutionary officer who attempted to spy on the British and was hanged. 1755-1776]
"My affections were first for my own country, then, generally, for all mankind,"
- Thomas Jefferson, [American 3rd US President (1801-09). Author of the Declaration of Independence. 1762-1826]
“Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defence and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.”
- Andrew Jackson, [American 7th US President, 1767-1845]
"Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land!",
- Sir Walter Scott, [Poet, Writer, Soldier in the Scottish Yeomanry (1771-1832)]
“I would lay down my life to defend any one of the States from aggression, which endangered peace or threatened its institutions. I could do more for the union, but I wish to do more; for the destruction of the union would be the destruction of all the States. A stab in the heart is worse then a cut in a limb, for this may be healed.”
- Sam Houston, [American General, Lawyer and Politician, 1st president of Texas, (1836-38, 1841-44), 1793-1863]
"Soldiers! I order you not to attack, but to die for your country!"
- Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, General, Army Commander & Founder of Modern Turkey, 1881-1938]. Ataturk led this successful attack personally in this battle in the Gallipoli campaign, and was wounded.
"We are determined that before the sun sets on this terrible struggle, our flag will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand and of overwhelming force on the other.”
- General George Catlett Marshall, [American military commander during WWII 1880-1959]
"For us, patriotism is the same as the love of humanity",
- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, [Statesman, Humanist and Liberator of India, (1869-1948)]
" A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the sound of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance."
- Jawaharial Nehru, [Indian statesman and First Prime Minister, (1889-1964)]
"Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.”
- Charles De Galle, [French general, writer and statesman, 1890-1970]
"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
- John F. Kennedy,[35th US President (1917-1963)]
“A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers”
- John F. Kennedy,[35th US President (1917-1963)]
SU,
"Or UNP could be the informant and the Government has promised to keep the lid over that. There was a rumour that Ranil was meeting MR on the midnight of Election eve"
This i find hard to believe.
He was in the hotel with Gonseka plotting the coup.
Ranil probably thought if Gonseka becomes a dictator he can be the "leader in exile". Topple Gonseka with some Iraq style invasion with help from the US and be crowned President. Does not matter to him how many Sinhalese die or suffer in the process.
Pol Sambol said...
SU,
About arrests over coup.
What the Government should do is just build up the information and educate the public.
No need to arrest anyone at this point. That will generate sympathy amongst the public and unwanted headaches with their white masters barking to save them.
Just need to follow up on all the allegations made by Government (which IMO are credible in the manner the Government went about them and the response of the accused) during the PE.
It will hold the Government in good light, because then it not only deters future attempts by Gonseka types and Gonseka alliances to do the same, when the Government points out such is happening the people will be fully aware and receptive.
Lay the ground work first.
UNP giving information cannot be true since UNP seems to be making SF the assistant Leader of UNP according to LankaCnews. (May this is a false story????)
A nice article about RW back-stabbing
Does anyone know the latest about the unholy union? Heard that RW left rather victoriously and never came back to SF. Mongala is missing, did SF send him with wounds [physical]? JVP and SF bark facing the shades of obsolescence.
SU;
[[They cannot charge SF about the Election Coup without charging RW in at least as an accomplish or for wirhholding information.]]
I think it is very unlikely that a candidate of the election would be taken to court in SL. It is a very brave step to take, and a wholly unnecessary step politically, as far as UPFA's victory is concerned.
Plus, had there been compelling evidence of coup, do you think SF would be sent home this freely? SF's actions are suspicions, and we all have our own interpretations. Many in govt had their lives at stake, so they must have better feel of it. Yet what seem to lack is PROPER EVIDENCE. Especially to take a potential candidate of next election, you gotta be 100% certain that you can put him behind bars, or else it will be a glorification of him when released.
Likely to see the courts is Dhanuna, that again, if they have better evidence.
No Sujeewa I am not trying to say that the Government should be reckless. I am saying that the government should be cautious.
If Ranil has not acted as an informant at the moment I cannot buy the violent-election-coup.
Back stabbing or not just trying to keep his position as UNP leader or not if he is the informer indeed he has done a great service to the Nation as Chandrapema says.
But this does not wash his sins.
May be there is a condtion that Ranil will not be exposed by the Government to be the informant.
If it is just a suspicion then they should not promote it as absolute knowledge since it will destroy its credibility. That is what I am afraid of.
Given that SF is capable of thinking of any brutist thing. Government should not go to that low.
Pol sambol thanks for your comment too.
Making noises only looses the credibility. These investigations should be done undercover and should expose only the things that can be convincing to even some UNPers. NO point of putting some thing to convince most supporters and loosing some of the supporters.
There is enoudh SF has done if the Government needs to go after him.

-------------------------------
What MR should do is give SF the blessing to contest GE. It will be fun to see UNP, SF and JVP kill each other. As I said earlier, the only person can destroy SF is SF. So let him be, let him hatch his dirty trick, let us be vigilant. It would be fun to see RW and SF at each others throats.
SF is being already rattled. That is why he is threatening to blackmail. In a way this is an admission of guilt on his part.
mongal is not to be seen after the election day.
it is therefore credible that gonzeka smashed the bugger.
shameless shemale will still go after gonzeka.
JHU proposal is much more productive than TNA shameless crap.
now that they were got totally defeated they are trying to get whatever from the govt.
govt will be ungratefu to its voters if it even consider TNA crappies.
[[If it is just a suspicion then they should not promote it as absolute knowledge since it will destroy its credibility. That is what I am afraid of.]]
Plus they loose the chance pf really finding it out. I think they shud have opened mouths after full investigation, and that shud have happened with teh arrest of any parties [incl SF] involved.
If they really wanna do a mud slinging for GE [although it is not acceptable] they had enough time to do that later on.
Jumping the gun too fast, plus it coming thru smone like WW, not someone in defence, makes teh real chances lost. This will end up as another case like Uda thala vinna, in which [some pawns got punished??] The Rat[-watte] got away.

Nop mate. RW stands where he is. He is the designated traitor. Nothing is changed.
But I think his presence as the leader of opposition is a blessing in disguise. It is one of the top most facts that helped the victory of war. He's a popularity magnut, but teh wrong pole. He's repulsing everyone and supporting pussycats. We'd never feel teh need to crush the pussycats if he didn't sign the piss agreement.
We shud save him for another 20 yrs, I believe. Not only us, but also he himself is happy with his role in opposition, so who cares? UNPers may care, but they gotta see the daylight that either they can choose country or the party, and one and the other are distinctly separate.
This is why I always said that RW will save MR. And I say long live RW - the opposition leader for ever.

Agree very much.
But as I see it, Fonseka started to shout that govt is trying to kill him, he's surrounded, blah blah which could explain why MR may have opted to make all the noise himself too.
Conspiracy to assassinate President, family members revealed - Hulugalle
A conspiracy to assassinate the President, his family members and key government officials, has been revealed, Director General Media Centre for National Security Lakshman Hulugalle said yesterday. Suspects include a prominent female member of the UNP.
Responding to a query from The Island on whether she is a Parliamentarian, he declined to comment claiming that the disclosure would hamper ongoing investigations.
"Army deserters and the retired military personnel, arrested from a five star hotel in Colombo, had planned to assassinate the President and top government officers," he said.
Following Wednesday's arrest of those men from the five star hotel, another three persons were arrested yesterday from another five star hotel in connection with the vicious SMS campaign where falsehoods were spread about the government.
"The modus operandi of the military men arrested on Wednesday was to move into the Lake House roundabout from the nearby five star hotel when the President's motorcade was coming from the President's house to assassinate the President and family members by firing at the motorcade," he pointed out.
These men were arrested by police as they were moved out of the hotel and are now being interrogated, he said.
The CID sleuths are trying to ascertain who was responsible and involved in this conspiracy, but Hulugalle refused to divulge whether high ranking retired military officers were among them.
"More arrests will be made in the next few days based on the information provided by those now being interrogated," he said.
The Common Opposition had two groups, one handled the election campaign and the other looked after the political aspect of it, he explained.
They had sent warning letters to government top rungers warning about their deaths and a list of around 20 such people, the Director General said.
There was also an e- mail campaign about these moves by Lankaenews, he said.
The opinion polls had clearly indicated that President Rajapaksa would be the winner, Hulugalle said.
Former IGP Chandra Fernando, said the conspiracy had been hatched by Opposition Candidate Gen (Rtd) Sarath Fonseka's men to assassinate the leaders and grab power since they knew that they were losing the Presidential election.

For the foolish patriots here: Don't lick politician asses, don't wish them long life. Make them work for us. The wandibhattans are the worst traitors of this nation.
Daily wisdom for the foolish from the land of (YES) opportunity:
Crimes and wrong doings of our friends and allies are patriot acts.

["Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.”
- Charles De Galle, [French general, writer and statesman, 1890-1970]]
So true.
You people are so Nationalistic Patriots.
Don't think for a moment that it is a good human quality and be proud of it.
Ananda, have you heard this?
Ignorance is Bliss.
LOL!!!
Patriots
As we all expected MR won the election with colours
However they should stop all harressment against the opposition.
I believe all of you will agree that those who aroung MR are courrupted and even MR acknowleged that this is not his pepole (most of them are from UNP etc)
By looking at post election activities I dont think MR is planning of doing anything to stop post election Vialonce.
(I fully agrre that had SF won this time we are experinecing 100% more violance but we cant justfy the current activities by saying so)
for me GR is no difference to SF (probably a common factor for EX army) in their PR activities and I belive he threat some media who work against the government in the election
I think we need effective reconciliation process ASAP if SL to go forward
WOW, rare find on SL Defence Forum.
A blogger with a mind who can think outside the well. Your not-so-frog-in-the-well mentality is sooo refreshing.
Thinks like this comes either from an original pure Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, or Hindu and NOT from a mainstream Sinhalese Buddhist.
Stick around brother. By the way, are you a yankee as well?

Arctic,
However they should stop all harressment against the opposition.
I agree, this makes losers heroes. However, if there was an attempted coup then that should be investigated. In the mean time, we shall not try to expose any SLA officer. That is the least we can do for their sacrifices in the battle field.
I think we need effective reconciliation process ASAP if SL to go forward.
Can you please elaborate your thoughts on reconciliation process.
[Sam Perera said...
Arctic,

In other words, tell me who really you are, a Sinhalese or a Tiger or UNP.
LOL
How about stop harassing losers for a start.
I agree, if there was a coup, that has to be investigated in our Kangaroo system.
SP
Harresment and intimidation must stop all the time -not because it
"makes losers heroes".It should not promote in the socity at all the time in all places.
MR fail to win minorities and what satate media doing at the moment is colour rhe areas SF won and try to show that it was Elam map
Even though RW is traitor/very incapable he has very good capability in dealing with minority (not only Tamils but with moderate Muslims excpt RH from CMC)
All tamils are now silence with the fire power(which is 100% correct at that time) how ever thire aspirations should fulfil
(I am not suggesting Elam or equvalent here)
In doing so RW has more capabilities than MR.
I dont think that solution would be to give power to RW, but learn what he is good at or may be persuade him to join the government
to work with monorities
Though MR is the hero in majourty buddists (like most of us) he will not become popular among tamils.
Arctic,
I can see your point overall. The real challenge MR has is to douse the flames of hatred and perception of the need for autonomy. Remember, it is a solution acceptable to everybody including Sinhalese. It will be daunting task for MR in coming years. This is a national question we have to find answers. What can you suggest on more specific but conceptual level to address the issue?
SP
Do you see any effort from the government to achieve it?
If MR keep on going this way we will surely back to sqare one soon
MR is very capable of taking to the emotion of the people (specialy rural level) but incapable of compromising to achieve national reconsiliation.
multipolar is so funny after PE... HIKz
Arctic,
MR is very capable of taking to the emotion of the people (specialy rural level) but incapable of compromising to achieve national reconsiliation.
I am thinking in terms of specific solutions at conceptual level. I am ready to support something like 13th if it explicitly prevents political divisions based on ethnicity and explicitly brings in anti discriminatory laws. Ever inch of land belongs to Sri Lankans and no ethnic group shall be given preference in any area. What do you have in your mind?
SP
Main reason for all these issues is suspicion/lack of trust among people.
Probably its lack of knowlege or tunnel vision most of Sri Lankans
For E.g. inthe past election those who support SF think that there were more ragging/counting frauds etc and those who support MR think completely opposit.
If this is the case with individuals in same culture etc this is widen with language issues come in to the picture(tamil vs Sinhala)
having different openions not accepted by most of the people in the socity (I have seen it many times in the blog as I was reading it since 2007 defencenet-defencwire andSLDF now)
SL majority giovernment is not willing to give police power etc to the tamil areas due to this mistrust thinking that they will misuse it.
there should be a way to make trusted socity and probably government mediat should set an example
Without trust any type of power sharing will not be suceesful

Maybe he should try a different formula? He is too transparent, not much fun.
Arctic,
I see that you are talking about the reasons and byproducts of the conflict. Lets move forward the discussion from that point. I sincerely want to see the specific solution you have in your mind. For example, I want proportionate number of soldiers in our forces from all ethnic groups. Likewise, can you get in to specifics at the conceptual level?
Once man's jewels were bitten and taken away by a croc. Since started speaking like a woman. Men around him went through the same traumatic experience and their voice get changed whenever they see a croc.
Same things has happened to parrots of this blog.
Whenever you see someone clever writes, they attribute that person to some kind of a multipolar since one clever guy have really abused their mentality in the past.

Guys,
Let's avoid Pakis Buruwa.
It is a waste of time. We have been doing it enough now. Longer we do longer he'll suffer and lesser he'll attend to his counseling classes.
Let's ignore those bloggers who do not bring anything worthy other than personal attacks on one another. If anyone brings a factual criticism, even on our personalities, it is worthy discussing. Sadly some low lives are unable to do so even on fake grounds.
Attacks on ppl w/o any valid reason shud be ignored me thinks.

Arctic,
You can see Fonseka still hallucinating about his victory in this video. To some reason, according to Fonseka, the "people" of Sri Lanka "unanimously" says that election victory was stolen from him. That is a tall claim by any means. I hope that Fonseka understands the meaning of word "unanimous?" At minumum, me and my family don't agree with Fonseka's assertion. If Fonseka expects any reconciliation, he shall stop this kind of childish antics and move on.

I am offended by the personal attack since he called me Buruwa.
[ It is a waste of time. We have been doing it enough now. Longer we do longer he'll suffer and lesser he'll attend to his counseling classes.]
Who needs counseling now?
You actually call me Buruwa using Buru Language. I wonder a smart outsider think of us. I bet he think you are the Buruwa not me.
He repeats...
[ Attacks on ppl w/o any valid reason shud be ignored me thinks.]
Do you think calling me Buruwa not an attack even though I never called you any names, Sir?
OK Sam, I agree. Fonseka sounds very silly on that video. In fact only losers whine after the loss.
Most dangerous man out of SF and MR is SF.
Struggle between Sujeewa Pokawala and me (Buruwa) has been a classic one. It all started here.
Sujeewa Vs. Buruwa
SP
though most of us are not agree with SF we have to accept that there are sizable propotion of people in SL to support him.
As I said this is not just difference in openion but politcal division went beoynd the limit and people are hating each other.
this is what I tried point out in my my prevoius post and tamil issue is only one example of this
(so as JVP issues in 71 and 89)
we have to do some thing to prevent this division
we feared this. now it is openly demanded. from toiletnet.
"The International Community must now call upon Sri Lanka to conduct a UN-Supervised referendum for Tamils living on the island, Mr. Williamson said adding that such an Independence referendum in 1999 put an end to a similar conflict in East Timor and has been successfully followed in recent times in Kosovo and Montenegro. "Democratic referenda is the modern and civilised mechanism to end inter-community conflicts and it's time Sri Lanka joined the modern world," he further said."
one day there WILL BE a referendum in north & east for tamil elam. 2010 PE, 1977 GE, 2004 GE, etc, are leading to that.
50.0001% yes means we will be continuously pressurised to do something about it.
only recolonization of these areas can solve this. and we have to do it ASAP.
thereafter we have nothing to fear. at a referendum the TE concept will be defeated.
Arctic,
As I said this is not just difference in openion but politcal division went beoynd the limit and people are hating each other.
I don't think that the people hate each other. There are UNPers who will always vote for UNP and SLFPers who will always vote for SLFP. I do not think that people hate each other at root level for taking one side or other.
Moshe,
I am not in favor of this kind of action for the reasons that they sacrificed their today for our tomorrow. I am deeply sanded to see people like Mahesh Senananayake in this list.
Fourteen senior army officers have been retire for what defence officials called being a "threat to national security" and aiding and abetting an attempt to overthrow the government.
Director General of the Media Centre for National Security Lakshman Hulugalle said the officers had been "sent on compulsory retirement".
Among the officers thus retired are five majors general, five brigadiers, a lieutenant colonel and a colonel and two captains. Sources said that the military intelligence had observed their conduct during last several weeks and the decision to send them on compulsory retirement had been taken on the basis of the intelligence reports.
It is for the first time in Sri Lankan military history that such a large number of officers have been dismissed. Earlier in 1962 a few military officers charged with high treason were dismissed.
Believing the government was planning to switch ballot boxes at last week’s presidential election, while they were being transported to counting centres, Kegalle District UNP MP Kabir Hashim asked some of his supporters to drop ten rupee currency notes into ballot boxes at selected polling booths in the Mawanella electorate for identification purposes.
UNP agents at the counting centres were relieved when they saw ten rupee currency notes in each ballot box as they felt they could comfortably secure the Mawanella electorate nursed by Hashim. But manual counting saw President Mahinda Rajapaksa bagging the electorate by polling 32,335 votes whereas Opposition presidential candidate General (retd) Sarath Fonseka obtained 27,039.

Incorrect.
Did you consider why those who (more than few thousand) voted for MR in NE did so? What do you think of the large percentage among IDPs who did not vote at all?
Transition takes time, it cannot happen overnight. TNA trying to brainwash them at this point in time did not help at all.

නාරද නිශ්ශංක
Moshe,
I am an ardent supporter of recolonisation.
Once the Sinhalese are there they cannot be removed.
When many people (not multipolars or eczema donkeys) patriotic/concerned/genuine come screaming against it they argue "not to hurt Tamil feelings" and "win them over". Well MR tried that, did it work? NO.
"Winning them over" NEVER works, it is seen as weakness to squeeze more. The same reasons trotted out against recolonisation today are the same ones pretty much heard in the 50s, and 60s when the stupid Governments of the time stopped Don Stephens recolonisation programs to win Tamil votes/appeasement of Tamil racists like old man Chelva and the TULF. Not only would it have stopped Tamil homOlandism it would have sorted out the nations food problems.
But no, short term thinking and foolish "winning them over" lead us here. Did we "win them over" then?? NO. Will we "win them over" today? NO.
Had it been continued By the 70s the Sinhala and Tamilia population in the North & East would be almost 40/60. There would have been no war, and by now we would be the majority there, we would have no food problems either.
Lal Kantha could be the informant. Then he is in clear. May be he was far from being in the inner circle. So he is clear even if he is not the informant.
This cannot be applied to Ranil/Karu/mangala/Anura/ or Mano.
If there were a coup all of these people are accomplishes, or co-conspriators or information holders or Government witnesses.
I hope that for the sake of the country the govenrment would act wisely.
On the other hand, how many armed people are there to take over Araliya Gaha Madhura?
My this argument is now maybe vanishing since they are making whole sale change in the army and the police. May be it was deeper than we thought. Just May be, or May not be!
Wait and see. They should stop the noise until they build a credible case.
The conspiracy to topple the Sri Lanka Government by retired Army Generals and officers begins to unravel as the police go into the investigation deep.
Recently, Retired Major General Upali Edirisinghe has been arrested in this connection. Asian Tribune has learnt that he is being interrogated by the CID.
Yesterday, the police summoned 10 serving commandos in the army and were questioning them.
Today, more commandos and troops in the Sinha Regiment are expected to be questioned.
Asian Tribune learnt that when the police questioned Brigadier D.C. Kappetiwalane, it was revealed that he met Asoka Thoradeniya on the 6th of January, at his office to discuss about the conspiracy.
Asoka Thoradeniya was a Brigadier and Master General of Ordinance and when he retired he retired as a Major General. At present Thoradeniya is the Chairman of the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation.
According to investigation Thoradeniya was the link between the serving Army officials and the conspirators.
Brigadier Kappetiwalane was recently arrested at his house in Panundura and held by the Police for investigation regarding a murder.
Asia Tribune
Mangala/ Ranil clan cried wolf for selfish gain. They lost credibility. SF was saved. People lost.
If the Government creis wolf for selfish game eventually people will loose.
That is what's my fear.
I am not saying the Government is framing the opposition.
But at the moment what they are sayig does not seem to be coherent or credible.
But,
Large scale changes in Army and Police say that they are really concerned. They should have done this with a little noise (not in quite silence or this out loud).
sam,
yes it is a very sad situ but there is NOTHING we can do now. the monitoring process was kept TOP SECRET and no one knew this coming.
even if we had some info in time, i don't think we could have done anything against a DETERMINED ..........
some of them will get into politics.
but the real danger is, if there are gonzeka type fellows among them (well actually there are), they will work with anti-national elements to bring war crimes and other crap charges.
theoritically looking at it....
the succession planning process was changed in 2006. 'performance' as assessed by SF replaced length of service. SF promoted his men too among REAL performers. these guys feel INDEBTED to SF.
the only good thing in this is NO ONE has been stripped of their rank, etc.
sam,
and as you know it had to be done before the independence day for administrative reasons.
SU,
They should have done this with a little noise (not in quite silence or this out loud).
Spot on. I hope that the government has sufficient evidence to support their claims. Until they are proven in courts, MR shall keep everything low key. I came to know that General Thoradeniya and Keppetiwalana are contemporaries in their school. Is it possible that Keppetiwalana went to visit Thoradeniya as a friend? Anyway, the government can loose the credibility if they release half baked facts.
sam,
having SL NATIONAL INTERESTS at heart, i hope the ongoing process will pass through with least damage.
only feb 1, 2 & 3 are available to conclude this.
I don't like these Army Officer dismissals one bit, although they may be necessary.
This is the PRICE the NATION pays, for Sarath Fonseka's Unbounded Ambition & Personal Hatred: the destruction of the NATION's DEFENSES!

Major changes in Sri Lanka army on coup suspicions
ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Feb 01, Colombo: Sri Lanka has made major changes in the key positions of the army hierarchy including the dismissal of several high ranking officers on fears of staging a coup against the government by the military personnel loyal to the defeated opposition candidate, former military chief General Sarath Fonseka.
Director General of the Media Center for National Security Lakshman Hulugalla said all Armed Forces personnel who were engaged in politics during and after the recently concluded Presidential Election will be sent on mandatory retirement regardless of their rank.
In a statement Hulugalla said it has been established that certain members of the three forces have been engaged in political activities politicizing the armed forces.
In a major move the government Saturday appointed Commissioner General of Rehabilitation, Major General Daya Ratnayake as the Chief of Staff of the Sri Lanka Army replacing Major General Mendaka P. Samarasinghe who was transferred to an administrative position at the Joint Operations Headquarters (JOH).
Several officers have been reassigned and transferred in a drastic reshuffle. An undisclosed number have been "sent on compulsory retirement" because they were considered a "direct threat to national security," the Defence Ministry said.
The AFP news agency citing military officials said 12 top officers, including three major generals, were sacked to thwart any attempted coup by Fonseka's supporters inside the military.
Authorities have revealed an alleged plot to assassinate the President and his family by the military personnel loyal to General Fonseka and take control of the government in a coup following Fonseka's defeat at the presidential election.
Meanwhile, the authorities arrested a serving brigadier for the murder of Sunday Leader editor Lasantha Wickramathunga in January 2009. Brigadier Duminda Keppitiwalana, who is reportedly a Fonseka supporter has been arrested on Friday night at his home in Panadura. He is the commandant of the combat training school in Ampara.
Gents,
Just stand back for a second and look at the mess in SL, from our enemies point-of-view.
– The main architect of victory (MR) is embroiled in a 'to-the-death' (hopefully not literally) struggle with his ex military chief (SF).
– Critical secrets are about to be disclosed by SF ostensibly to hurt MR. SL as a whole will sustain the most serious damage in the int'l arena. All the superb work done by SL diplomats in Geneva undone in a few sentences by SF's carelessness. This is truly astounding and beyond belief.
– The armed forces' obedience to civilian rule being called into question, a previously unthinkable scenario. Perhaps even factions forming within the armed forces, resulting from SF's foray into politics.
– Senior military commanders (Navy, various Army generals) entering the partisan political arena, having to defend the reputation of their respective commands against serious allegations made by their one-time leader, SF. The various HR monkeys (AI, HRW etc) are already jumping all over this one and they will not let go.
– Our allies (e.g Russia, China, India, Iran, the Global South) who supported us through the worst periods of Western bloc pressure must be wondering at the level of intelligence prevalent in the leadership they supported. If 'war crimes' trials are to be initiated on the basis of SF's claims, will these allies be so helpful in future crises?
– From having been regarded as a tough and serious country determined, once and for all, to rid itself of the burden of LTTE terror, SL is probably now being seen as a a bit of
How can these allies be certain that confidential information shared at top levels aren't going to be leaked by the next senior military officer or politician for short term gain? Once trust is lost, it is very difficult to regain.
– The Diaspora Eelamists have been thrown an unexpected lifeline by the very forces which annihilated their military forces in SL. They've now acquired second wind in the West to continue with their campaign of harassment, ably aided and abetted by SF's actions AND MR's actions.
People in SL going about their ordinary business may not be concerned about these (international) factors, but the HR monkeys and their allies in the LTTE disapora will not stop until they can affect the SL economy. That's one of the few weapons they have left to use against us. And our politicians, are knowingly or unknowingly doing their best to help them.
And now, people in various walks of life (including senior officers) are being branded as 'threats to national security'.
Any evidence?
UNP and JVP to go on their own ways at Sri Lanka parliamentary elections
ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Feb 01, Colombo: The two main opposition parties that came together on one stage for the presidential elections are to contest on their own at the parliamentary elections.
Addressing a media briefing today UNP parliamentarian Lakshman Kiriella said the United National Party (UNP) will contest as the United National Front (UNF) under the Elephant symbol at the General Election to be held sometime before April.
The decision to contest under the Elephant symbol has been taken at a discussion held yesterday among the constituent parties of the UNF.
UNF is the coalition between the UNP led by Ranil Wickremasinghe, Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) led by Rauf Hakeem, Democratic People's Front led by Mano Ganesan and the SLFP (Mahajana Wing) led by Mangala Samaraweera.
Reportedly, the Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna is to contest under its own symbol.
Meanwhile, the defeated presidential candidate, General Sarath Fonseka has also expressed his intention to contest the parliamentary elections. However, he has not revealed which party he would represent yet.
pol,
exactly.
blame falls on the bandaranayakes. they stopped 'janapadakaranaya' altogether.
even the brits did it!!!! they were not racists, so they didn't look from a racist homoland pov.
it happened only duing these times after 1948.
1948-1955
1965-1970
1978-1987
1990-1992
janaka perera was a very clever general in this regard. he wanted to secure the strategic mulaitivu sector FOREVER.
at that time LTTE had its biggest hiding places there including BASE-14. tigers wanted to push the sinhala settlements as far back as possible.
janaka knew this. he also knew that army camps can be withdrawn, closed down through politics.
but ppl's settlements cannot be so moved!! (that would be hara-kiri). so he keenly promoted settlements heading north-north-east.
secondly it seperated north from the east making it difficult for tigers to pass through.
thirdly it created a political barrier seperating north and the east. welioya and extensions are at the "cusp" of north and east provinces.
India has confirmation of Prabhakaran's death: Chidambaram
The Deccan Herald
February 1, 2010
India has got official confirmation that Tamil Tigers chief Velupillai Prabhakaran, wanted for the 1991 killing of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, is dead, Home Minister P. Chidambaram said Monday.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has received documentary proof of the death of Prabhakaran in May last year, the minister told reporters here.
"The CBI has told me that they have received documentation from the government of Sri Lanka confirming the death of Prabhakaran,” Chidambaram said while presenting the monthly report of his ministry. He did not elaborate.
The remark follows a CBI statement last month, in response to an RTI application, that it was yet to get the death certificate of Prabhakaran, the founder leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
Prabhakaran along with his intelligence chief Pottu Amman were declared proclaimed offenders after a LTTE suicide bomber blew up Rajiv Gandhi near Chennai in May 1991. India outlawed the LTTE in August 1992.

What is the purpose of this news post?
[India has confirmation of Prabhakaran's death: Chidambaram]
Good one from Mango. Unfortunately thats the truth. I don't think GR will eliminate SF (for sure not MR) and until scum is alive he remains a threat to national security. A sane person will probably ignore statements from Gonseka due to his obvious and proven zero-credibility in last 2 months. But I think the so called IC will welcome any crap gonseka says against SL armed forces. And still gonseka is a hero for some 'patriots'! The damage done to SL in int. front by gonseka and irreparable and future damage he will do is unavoidable. GSL need to pro-active and minimize such damage.

They used blogs to support destroy our country. They were defeated military wise. Then they were defeated political wise too. But unfortunately, this is the place for some one to release his frustration in multiple means instead of getting medical help.

[And still gonseka is a hero for some 'patriots'! ]
same goes with gonpaksa%
for some FCUKING reason, the 1962 coup was ALSO planned for january 26th. may be this one was planned for jan 27th to be precise.
I am not a Fonseka supporter, however will never call him Gonseka.
He should have been dealt with by MR government, otherwise we wouldn't have been in this mess.
If MR and co gets credit for eliminating LTTE, they should be trashed for creating the whole mess with SF.
Let's hope the aftermath of dealing with SF is not as destructive as what LTTE did for Sri Lanka.
Mango, well said, some hard hitting points.
We went from a strong unified determined unbreakable nation to one of weakness and petty squabbling primarily due to Gonseka, he maybe egotistical but he is weak. He got corrupted by Blake back in Novemeber 2008 (this is when Blake certified citizenship for him) and was the “enemy within”. MRs behaviour post May18th-Novemeber 2009 was of such arrogance that it made him loose sight of things and his then tightly run administration he had which appeared seemingly impenetrable started getting cracks.
Of course by far the greatest damage was done by Gonseka. And as you have said no one will trust us, especially those who backed us earlier maybe concerned, because things can “leak” so easily. Sinhalese are blissfully unaware of the greater threats the nation is facing right this moment and MR/Government does not seem fully aware of it either. Best example of this is the bogus HR onslaught we saw from 06-08 followed by the ridiculous war crimes nonsense of 09. MR thought it was all done and over and wanted to “move on” (see his interview with Time Magazine after the UNHCR debate) he foolishly thought the West would as well (someone really needs to educate all of SL fully on what those people are like). The HR thing the Government did not take seriously till it was too late, the war crimes thing the Government did half baked methods in tackling them. First they thought it was all over, then came the channel 4 video and even that they did not pursue it. The West was so furious with our rebuttal to the video they then waited till Gonseka gave them an opening to bring it and everything else back.
AGAIN MR wants to “move on” with the West. He thinks because he got massive support in the election from the people that that is enough to “repair relations”. HE is acting incredibly foolish if he honestly believes that. THESE people will never give up until MR dances to them. They will never treat him with “respect” or as an “equal” until such time he becomes a Ranil.
Sad to say it but still this Government does not get it. They do not see the bigger picture in front of them. That guy called Stephen Long in Los Angeles writing in AsianTribune a year ago said when he spoke to top Government officials they did not have a clue what was happening against Sri Lanka in the West, Western media, or even who Bruce Fien was. The Government and many Sinhalese think that anyone or anything that is against us “is on LTTE pay roll”. They still have not grasped what is happening beyond SLs shores and IMO The Government only has been thinking in terms of its own electoral success (hence why no recolonisation, hence why not bothered about bogus HR and bad press and why they did not follow up on the channel 4 video i.e. hunt down JDS). They never tackle issues when small and alerted to earlier, until such issues snow ball into an avalanche and huge damage is already done.
Moshe,
Are you sure the British did do such? I know they started modernisation of the ancient Sinhala irrigation canals and water system which they, the Dutch, Portuguese and Tamilia before them repeatedly destroyed, in addition to starting excavations in Anuradhapura and the East, some if not all they recovered they stole.
Tamil leaders demanded such archaeological digs and programmes be stopped because it was "discriminatory" to them as mentioned in the SoulBury Commission. Poor Chaps documented Chingala discrimination against them started in 1944 haha
Gonseka is the most valuable asset tamiz di-ass-pora and white masters have now... He easily defeated RW and became No1 traitor in sinhala history.

It takes two hands to clap.
He was created.
/blame falls on the bandaranayakes. they stopped 'janapadakaranaya' altogether./
This was a condition in Banda-Chelva agreement. Even though Banda teared the agreement he followed the condition.
Chelva did not oppose the recolonisation schemes out right. He being racist scum he is wanted Tamils from India/Malaysia brought in for the settlement. The projects involved increasing agricultural out put, more food+economy for Tamil homOland and a way to have a stranglehold on Sinhalese food wise.
Tamils from plantations in central province were not acceptable because they needed them to hold the central province (earlier eczema map came all the way down to Nuwara eliya).
Kumar Rupesinghe has been busy educating them about "autonomy" and to demand the "ability to discuss economic development and assistance directly with foreign Governments".
Its why he is has disappeared recently. Speical project for spiecal NGO scum.
pol,
yes. they did a good job. the first report on the need to colonize trinco with "INTELLIGENT" ppl (lol!! although not really true between the races) was made in 1820.
Ponnambalam also accused the British of having established colonization in "traditional Tamil areas", and having favoured the Buddhists by the buddhist temporalities act. The Soulbury Commission rejected these submissions by Ponnambalam, and even criticized what they described as their unacceptable communal character.
"The Soulbury Commission rejected these submissions by Ponnambalam, and even criticized what they described as their unacceptable communal character." = BLOODY GROSS RACISM.
so the brits not only colonized but also defended it against RACISTS.
---------------------------------------------------
1. in addition the mahaweli project (that also contributed to what TEs call "colonization" was funded by western countries, etc.)
2. limited colonization that is happening now in batti and trinco are funded by USAID.
----------------------------------------------------
another byproduct of colonization now is the opportunity to patch up with the west. their ppl generally LOVE ethnic integration.
/On the other hand, how many armed people are there to take over Araliya Gaha Madhura?

This country got lucky. Even after 18mn defeat Gonseka is not prepared to accept his defeat. They go on propaganda via int. media, katakatha and some even protesting. Just imagine a MR slight victory, say 1 lax. I thought to ignore GE but seems like people have to take it serious too. I think its unlikely Gonseka knowingly destroying our country in this way - "I am before country". Probably he is still driven by his ego and revenge plus stupidity rather than he was managing by US embassy or west. No surprise idiot has no political knowledge to understand the damage he is doing to my country saved by 30,000 lives sacrifice.
pol,
"Chelva did not oppose the recolonisation schemes out right."
he had it under control.
he started the 1958 riot in which many sinhalas in then batti district and trinco were chased out.
e.g. peter fonseka's family also suffered. peter's son sarath remembers those days of 1958!!
like ninja said, for some STRANGE REASON the bandaranayakes thought what chelva asked what was good for the tamil ppl and gave them indirectly.
the 1970-queue economy helped chelva's next generation to economically overpower the rest. sirima stubbornly struck to her policy even after the shock of the oil crisis.
re: colonization by malaysians, tamil madu ppl.
that is part of the plan. "USE IT OR LOSE IT" concept for SLs.
sirima also allowed some deported indian tamils (tamil madu illegal immigrants) in 1974 to settle in vanni. a large number of vanni IDPs are them.
re: reshuffle
GR is a very intelligent man with foresight. he does not wait till shit comes onto the pants to search for a toilet.
when dumb asses like gonzeka, vezapillai make the next move, GR has planned way ahead. and gonz, veza only function within GR's premeditated framework.
e.g. mavil aru
e.g. STRAIGHT FDLs that cannot be breached by LTTE flank attacks
e.g. counter terror op.s in colombo, etc. that kept areas outside the war zone safe
e.g. very clever use of TMVP fighters
SL is not used to PROACTIVE leaders.
GR wants defence to function like clockwork. any bullshit stuck in the wheels means either cleaning or if stuck so hard, replacing the wheels.
we have a required run rate to maintain and we must stick to it. just hanging in there is not enough.
I do not anyway underestimate SF's capacity for brutism of any magnitude.
When the opposition looses its crediblity the ultimate loosers are the people.
Even then there was a hope. The government maintained relative credibility in all fronts.
If they loose that then, people be the loosers of untold magnitude.
For sanity to come to Sri Lanka this electoral process has ot chnage. MR shoud get 2/3 and change the electoral system and govern the country without witchhunt.
Of course linency and selective application of law should not happen. Not only SF, others must also be equal in front of law.
My allegiance is to the people. That is why I am aginst any politcla role for SF and supported MR strongly.
Moshe,
Ada Derana says Gonseka's family have left SL today/yesturday.
Son in law is held by CID.
Thought they left??
To discredit the Government various parties could give lanu. Government should not be over entusiastically eat them wihtout checking out edibility. Otherwise the government will have to suffer stomach cramps. This is bad for people. The Government need the 2/3 and more common sense.
I hope that it will come more solid later.
For instance, it seemed like SF initial military coup after the war was a half bake story.
I think that that coup was a almost a certainity but they handled and prevented it in appropriate manner without much noise.
latest on gonzeka.
uneducated dumbass gonzeka can only think in SIMPLE terms.
the opposition leader occupies the opposition leader's official residence.
gonz logic - the person who occupies the opposition leader's official residence is the opposition leader!!!
going by gonz logic bugger had moved to the opposition leader's official residence.
ranil, fearing for the safety of maithree had quietely left with his wife. now they are living in a private residence while gonz occupies the opposition leader's official residence!!!
govt delays any move on gonzeka knowing well that he INCONVENIENCES his buddies like this.
gonzeka has now become a real PAIN IN THE ARSE to his friends. in slang, a nail, "enayak".
pol,
confusing.
they were scheduled to leave on 25th, then stayed back till 27th.
don't know they made it or missed it on 27th.
to be on the safe side, they would have made multiple bookings.
Good that Son in law is still around.
CID can work on him.
Government must push the HiCorp deal.
More damaging and shocking would be if the link between HiCorp and the die-ass-pora is real (as SK pointed out quoting Ada Derana comments and the recent arrest of a ezcema donkey in SL).
Moshe:
Oh Ranil Oh Ranil,
Can I borrow a word from you to describe him?
How timid, how cowardice, how treacorous, how idiotic to surrender offiial residence to a nincompoop?
Parrots of Pakisland,
How is the Pakisland blog faring? Like a raging fire, perhaps?
Why don't you confine yourself to Pakisland, and stop being a blog parasite here?
You can snipe and insult each other to your heart's content, and no one else will care!
Take your avatar "Sinhala Yankee" along with you, to provide a quorum.
Now, there's a good fellow!
su,
for a militaryman, it should be NONCOMPOOP.
obviously nincompoop is also relevant to gonz.
i learnt 2 new words today.
Moshe I need to borrow a word to call Ranil?
I have difficult time in finding one after his surrender of his official residence to this SF.
This is a move by the TNA to setup their "political platform" for the General Election, by cornering MR.
I hope the MR-GOSL does not ally itself with the TNA .. that would be a Kiss-of-Death.
MR should not meet with these Deshadrohis. The TNA should be left out to shrivel drying in the sun until the GE ends.
Then these TRAITORS should be prosecuted, convicted and jailed for life for their TREASONOUS acts as LTTE Agents over two decades!
Sivajilingam, in particular, should be held accountable for his orchestration of support for the on LTTE in TN, while the Sri Lankan Armed Forces were battling the LTTE in the Wanni.
We need to HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE ... SOON after the GE, as a lesson to future TRAITORS!

Sri Lanka's Tamil alliance expresses willingness to hold discussions with President
ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Feb 01, Colombo: Sri Lanka's coalition of Tamil parties, Tamil National Alliance says it is ready to hold discussions on power sharing with the re-elected President Mahinda Rajapaksa if they are given an opportunity.
TNA leader R. Sampanthan addressing a media briefing jointly with the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress leader Rauf Hakeem today said he is ready to discuss genuine power sharing proposals in a unitary state if invited by the President. Such proposals would give Tamils more autonomy to determine their economic and political future, he said.
Sampanthan called upon the President to hold discussions with the Tamil leadership on maximum possible devolution of power to the provinces without compromising national sovereignty.
During the recent presidential elections the TNA extended their conditional support to the common opposition candidate Retired Army General Sarath Fonseka.
General Fonseka and TNA leader R Sampanthan have reportedly entered into an agreement to take immediate measures to consider TNA's wishes. According to media reports these wishes include re-merger of North and East, dismantling of high security zones in the North, speedy restoration of civil administration and normalcy in the war-affected areas, termination of Emergency and release of all persons detained under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.
The President stated earlier that TNA put forward these conditions to him in return for their support at the election but the he refused the conditions that would divide the country again.
Rajapaksa in an interview prior to the elections said the country and the future of its people were more important to him than gaining few votes to secure his presidency at the cost of the hard-earned freedom from terrorism.
The majority of the Tamils in the North and East voted for the opposition candidate indicating their preference for self governing while the President received nearly 60 percent of the support from the rest of the country.
The TNA and the SLMC leaders said at the press conference that the people in the North and East have given them a fresh mandate to be their legitimate representatives and they intend to contest the upcoming General Election on a common platform to represent the Tamil speaking population in Sri Lanka.
General Election Scheduling:
"Although the President is yet to announce when the parliament will be dissolved in preparation for the general election, speculations are ripe that the President will dissolve the parliament on Feb 5th and the elections will be held in March."

12 Army top brass asked to retire over alleged conspiracy charges
By Sunil Jayasiri
February 01, 2010
Twelve top army officers including three Major Generals have been asked to retire from the service with immediate effect over a ‘political conspiracy’ while in the service, a highly placed military official said yesterday.
“These officers have been asked to retire as their service is no longer required to the Army,” the military official told the Daily Mirror on the condition of anonymity.
He also said that among these officers, there were two Brigadiers and Colonels, Lt. Colonels and Captains.
“The Army Headquarters had already informed these officers about this action,” the official added. He said these officers were close to former Army Commander General Sarath Fonseka.
He further said that necessary legal action would be taken against these officers for the charges against them under the normal law of the country.
The latest development comes just hours after a series of transfers of the army’s top most officers. The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has already commenced inquiries into the alleged ‘political conspiracy’ that was supposed to have taken place during the last week’s Presidential polls.
Last Friday the CID arrested Brigadier Duminda Keppetiwalana, a serving officer who is the Commandant of the Army Training School in Ampara.
He held the position of Military Assistant when Gen. Fonseka was Commander of the Army. Accordingly, more than 20 other retired officers and soldiers are now in custody and more are due to be arrested. Another official source said that a large number of senior and junior officers, who have been transferred to the office of the Chief of Defence Staff are to face inquiries in connection with the alleged ‘political conspiracy’.
su,
sorry, i didn't get you last time.
possible names for RW IN THE LIGHT OF GONZEKA.

Fonseka's Follies evoke quips in the Officer's Mess:
"When we Advance we have Johnny,
And When we Retreat we have Fonny!"
......
The general’s last miscalculated stand
BY RANDOM JOTTINGS
ManilaTimes.com
February 01, 2010
IN the days when now defeated Sri Lankan presidential candidate General Sarath Fonseka reigned supreme as the army commander—with his Commander in Chief President Mahinda Rajapaksa and immediate boss Defense Secretary Gotobaya Rajapaksa readily indulging his every military wish, and often even personal tantrums (which by all accounts were frequent and sometimes exceedingly tiresome)—the discreet tattle in the Officers’ Mess was how during decisive stages of the final fierce push against the Tamil Tigers, Fonseka displayed an uncanny knack of always being comfortably removed from the action.
So much so that some senior officers were given to quip: “When we advance we have Johnny” (meaning the Tigers’ landmines); “And when we retreat we have Fonny” (meaning Fonseka, of course!).
Fonseka’s seeming penchant for rearguard action was heroically to the fore during the weeks leading up to the polling day when the ragbag elements from the ranks of the disheveled opposition, who hopped on board what they hoped would be an eventual gravy train, reduced their chosen one to the role of a shadow candidate fighting from the rear.
History has proved that military generals are not always able to translate their battle-hardened reputation into the political arena and make good national leaders. Dictating orders to well-disciplined troops in military barracks is one thing, but trying to cater to the political whims and nationalistic fancies of a disparate, fickle and demanding populous is an entirely different ball game all together.
Besides Fonseka’s hasty entry to the political arena did not come about because of some higher calling to continue serving the country, but was borne out of a combined sense of wounded pride (that manifested itself in him engaging in a word war and hurling wide accusations against his erstwhile boss Defense Secretary Rajapaksa) and naked ambition—though too often the line between the latter attribute and ego-driven hubris was blurred.
Then there were the contending parties. And while the ruling UPFA party was clear and unequivocal in the choice it was offering the electorate, the Fonseka headlined opposition NDF ticket—made of some eight political factions cobbled together out of desperation rather than conviction—ran a campaign that seemed always to be on the edge, with a sense of crisis waiting at every corner.
Fonseka himself managed to turn crisis into catastrophe when he incredulously shot himself in the foot by making a somewhat preposterous allegation that in the final days of the war against the Tamil Tigers, the Sri Lankan military was given—and in some instances followed—orders (from the Defense secretary, he lamely claimed) not to take prisoners but just shoot to kill.
In one fell swoop he not only dismantled the myth he himself had created (and, indeed, launched his political platform on) that he, and he alone, called all the shots at the battlefront that brought about the final victory, but he also damagingly alienated the military that was seen as his main constituency.
Fonseka's Follies evoke quips in the Officer's Mess:
"When we Advance we have Johnny,
And When we Retreat we have Fonny!"
....continued....
Then, in a bizarre scenario on election day itself, when it was clear that Rajapaksa was on the way to a resounding victory, Fonseka holed himself up in a five-star hotel and claimed his life was in imminent danger. But by that self-generated drama he only succeeded in giving additional fodder to his detractors that even at that late stage he was all about serving his own interests rather than those of his constituents.
But now, after a campaign season that was loud on rhetoric from both contending parties and deafeningly silent on policies from the opposition side (whose sole aim was just to unseat the incumbent President Rajapaksa and take things from there) the Sri Lankan people have made their choice on who they want to lead them to peace and prosperity in the wake of a debilitating and destructive three-decade long war against internal terrorism.
We believe that in reelecting President Rajapaksa, in an election acknowledged both at home and abroad as having been fair and free, the electorate has chosen wisely and well.
By a healthy majority the Sri Lankan people have shunned the guy who marshaled the troops in the final stages (and then launched a political campaign hell-bent on vengeance against those he felt had slighted him in post-war days) and instead gone for the man who steadfastly and resolutely made the tough political decision to take the war to the enemy and finally secure peace in the country, and bring normalcy to the lives of its citizens.
With the resounding electoral mandate now thrust upon him it is up to President Rajapaksa to rise to the new challenges of setting a firm course towards fermenting lasting reconciliation in a country battered and bruised on the ethnic front, and fulfilling its economic potential to the max by putting national development on a fast-track to make up for the 30 years of economic waste brought about by the crippling secessionist war.
The salient fact that even while the war was raging and terrorism was rampant President Rajapaksa—with the help of foreign partners—was still able during his first term to get started on some major infrastructure projects to boost national development augurs well for Sri Lanka at the dawn of a new decade, and the advent of a promising future of peace and prosperity.

how stupid is this???
"It is my long-standing view that the only true path to peace in Sri Lanka is with a political settlement, with the creation of Eelam being the only solution that has a strong chance of long-term success."
eelam has been created already!! why reinvent the wheel.
eelam = SL
the struggle is for TAMIL EELAM.

said Re. MR:
[**** You and your family have stolen millions of dollars from Sri Lanka]
So you saw and it was only millions?
I was hoping it is not just a Few Millions, but more like a couple of Billions.
Why?
Because if we had Outsourced (aha, there is that buzz word again!) this “Liquidate LTTE Whores for Good” project to a US based private politico-military company, that is what they would have charged, plus US Sales Tax too!
:)) :)) :))
ha ha ha…fucking sankara, para-wesa cocksuker…so, pray tell me who taught you to utter this type of cockamamie nonsense?
Was it your para-wesa European-blooded, cross-carrying-with one hand and a pic of Prabha carryng with other hand “daddy” OR was it your Sakkili Tamil racist whore amma with a gingerly oil-fungi cunt?

:)) :)) :))
WORTH REPEATING!
[Even during the war his major specialties were alcoholism, womanising, telephone sex, corruption, fighting with officers, brutalism on cooks and waiters and subordinates, sacrificing soldiers to VP. Intermittently he has served as a killing machine and a yelling machine while GR and and other capable officers ran the war.]
Ain't this a fast-proven fact now?
SU, thanks bro for posting this "Gospel Truth" !!!
