Civilians have started arriving in their thousands by today. 522 civilians came yesterday and 2000 civilians had arrived by this evening. 25-30 LTTE cadres, who abandoned the movement, were also among them. This was the largest number of civilians to have returned to date and indicates the LTTE is really crumbling.
The 30-man Tiger team, which breached the 59 defenceline few days ago was completely annihilated along with several other Tiger teams in the general area Mulaitivu by a combined Special Forces, Commando and SLAF Mi-24 mission. The Tiger team from Ratha regiment, commanded from afar by Theepan had got more than they had bargained for. Although successful initially in firing a few RPGs at an Army Bus, Tractor with trailer and 2 tanks, the Tigers were systematically surrounded and picked off by the superior SF and CR teams.
Meanwhile Brigadier Prasanna Silva's 55 Division has finally entered Chalai. The declaration of the capture will be made within 24hrs as Sea Tigers putting up stiff resistance to guard its last entry-point into the sea were finding it extremely difficult to fight on due to the unconventional tactics employed by the veteran Special Forces officer and his junior commanders.

Orbat updated.
thank defense wire....
DW,
You proved my post wrong. But I'm happy.
Thanks and pl keep in touch with more posts.
AmmaGG;
I hope you haven't packed bag and gone, so hope you read my message [and respond]. Of all the bloggers you're one who inspired me to write here. Your posts have been exceptional and absolutely hilarious. I never saw anyone mixing patriotism, sarcasm and sense of humor with absolutely accurate facts such as Ramayanaya, Kumari Kandam etc etc. You are one of those names which I search when I get a chance to read.
Ppl like you will be making ppl visit the blogs. If this blog closes still you should remain in this lot to make the next one read by many. I always feel, that behind the jokes fights and everything this group of ppl have a role in future cyber warfare. We will be the ones read by any bothering party. Our void makes Peter et al the only experts on this matter. AmmaGG it is [in a way] our duty to remain alive in this domain.
The bloody drunkard you're you feel guilty for the revealing of the facts under the drink. I've seen some lads trying to capitalize on this. Cut the crap mate. You did nothing wrong. I read honesty in your reply. i still think you could have spoken to Rana privately, but still the goings were too much.
So for f**k's sake pls stay with us.
Rana;
I honestly did not like your Pansilu [but it told me how you really think of me, ha ha ha]. Nor did I read Chathuranga. Also if u'r saradiyel, I never read that too. But I read your genuine posts.
Although I don't support your multiple lives, I understand that you were hard done by some here. So I do not wanna come and comment ethics to you. But this fight of few of you wasted our time and energy. So it is a lesson for us too to stay away from Pansilu like ppl.
Pls do NOT hate AmmaGG. You went too far. Someone had to stop it. I would have done the same had I been known this. You may have got carried away, but it was too much nonsense for us who try parsing the gibberish through whatever gray matter left in our skulls. So I stand by AmmaGG in this issue.
Anyway, I believe I am a good mate of yours. I have found your [Rana's] writings meaningful although I wouldn't agree on some comments. Some of your views about SL is not realistic. But anyway, all of us are on our own here, writing what we think as right. So pls remain with us. Your different take and still patriotic stance is needed for the future of this community if we ever mean to serve nation by any means.
BTW, now the next time we have a joker, pls be ready, ppl will think that it is you. It is human nature.
Can everyone concentrate on something more realistic, meaningful and pussycat non-friendly than this
prophecy did come true. puthu is the last to fall. it all went like a scripted story.
LTTE is expected surrender latest by Tuesday 10th February 2009.
This is the latest I hear from my sources!
Thanks DW for the update
DW, thanks for the update
[Please email me at hareen_m@yahoo.com for the application form and a detailed description of the process.]
BTW, I copied one of the previous posts from Hareen into the body of my posting... and sorry Hareen if it caused any harm.
It was done in good intentions and as I was in a hurry, I could not make the necessary adjustments before posting!
Keep up your good work!
DW,
many thanks for taking time off your busy official duties to make this post. Please give us regular updates as possible since we are now in the last few hours of this great military victory.
time to invade Peter's blog. bugger deletes my posts coz they can't stand facts.
DW must be from Navy.
[[[ The declaration of the capture will be made within 24hrs as Sea Tigers putting up stiff resistance to guard its last entry-point into the sea were finding it extremely difficult to fight on due to the unconventional tactics employed by the veteran Special Forces officer and his junior commanders.]]]
i suppose "the unconventional tactics employed by the veteran Special Forces officer and his junior commanders" are top secret?
or can anyone explain it a little bit & not too much?

According to Orbat, we have reached the western, northern and southern borders of safe zone.

Attention Tamil Diasspora ar*eholes...
Today is another beautiful day to hold hands in faraway lands... block their traffic, litter the streets, scream abuses, rob the innocent, tax the taxpayers and of course tell that you are 'Tamil'.. and totally different... and above the rest.
By all means... do so. But here's a friendly WARNING.... Never even daydream to bring your issues to Motherlanka.
No chance!
Machos..and Machos
I believe...we...are the lucky ones...we are living in a time when our path is being changed for the better.
I believe...our way of living needs dramatic changes too...
I believe...leaving this blog..or relaxing...right now is not a good thing....we need to keep our focus and energy to prevent..relapses...
I believe...we..need to come up with ideas and ways to perpetuate the knowledge of the suffering and sacrifices which made this possible.
I believe...we need to think and develop means of constructing both physical and logical deterrents against any form of future separatism movements.
I believe...the one of the best ways to celebrate the conclusion of this war is to Dance on the streets....and make it one of the most memorable moments ever....
Guys..thanks for company..and..I may not been seen by you all frequently but...this has been one the best location from where I picked my news...and other related information.....
Why not..lets discuss how to celebrate...
Cheers.

Amma GG,
Life is such that we have to sometimes eat garbage too, but do not throw in the towel man. Stand on your feet and deliver! Nothing needs to push you back to give in.
We always enjoyed your posts, and humor. I still can remember your first post about VP telling how to live on Tsunami Funds..
You stood and delivered like Murali and kept us all entertained..
Let Rana come clean, and you keep taking part..!
You know, after all this is just a blog!

I first thought that shore will finish first. But now it seems that it will finish together with the rest of the land.
Two lagoons will pose a constant threat and the strip in between will be very hard to enter.
And of course the Civlians and NFZ.

Artillery Machine Gun
BTW, I am watching you!
Gringo,
The guy who was firing the arti was totally disregarding his safety lessons!
I am very much worried about his health and safety.
The Arti Manuals ask to be at least 9ft away from the gun when firing and to face away from the gun.
DW;
I once commented here too, those amph teams are fabulous. I doubt how many armies really have such.
[You proved my post wrong. But I'm happy.]
Sujeewa, what did i prove you wrong on?
[Defencewire has got excited :-)]
I have heard about this lady and it wasn't all that exciting.
[many thanks for taking time off your busy official duties to make this post. Please give us regular updates as possible since we are now in the last few hours of this great military victory.]
You are welcome. Apologize for not posting regularly. Have had some personal issues on top of my work. Other editors are super busy. We never realized there would be such a demand.
NOLTTE=Peace,
Thanks mate for the link...you r right that Brave_heart has converted an Artillery piece into a cannon...wooow...
Now..don;t laugh..at.me..I think if he was an US Artillery guy he would have been wearing ear mufflers...and....he would be wearing gloves to remove the spent round...too...
So..your watching..me...reminds me of POLICE..the British pop act..
Now..tell me... NOLTTE=Peace..how r u going to celebrate the finale.....
Cheers.
NOLTTE=Peace,
so you have also noted the safety things I have seen...good...
and that shows that brave hearts focus, dedications and readiness to sacrifice...and
I believe he thinks his sacrifice is noting compared to the sacrifices he has seen...
...and now...how have we sacrificed...man..pathetic..
We should have bought few short-range MBRLs too. It is a waste to fire long-range rockets horizontally.
Else, I have another idea. Look at this,
This is my ideal... you know to breach mines

how about a navy attack to capture the rest of the coast line....using SBS..and groung units....to land on the coast
An interesting update by SF@LNP too.

DW;
[You proved my post wrong. But I'm happy.]
Sujeewa, what did i prove you wrong on?
In your last post I commented:
-----------------------
"Are we seeing the last post by DW?
I am accustomed to 1000s of comments, but I feel we are"
"...My speculation is supported by the fact that Mahen said Adios in a moment least expected..."
"...So I have a speculation that a big hand stopped him and forced him [Mahen] into retirement. SF@LNP has also closed his tap which was pouring at a higher rate. Now DW is silent again..."
"...Otherwise, I'm amazed about the much we hear from rumors, and the much that seem to be happening, why DW is not updating. He can write many innocent posts about, Vishvamadu, Puthu, Challai and civilians. I do not expect him to confirm or reject Fatpig capture or plane landings. But that is not all the happenings. Why can't he at least push for a single and rotate the strike."
--------------
And it was about the time you composed this post ironically.
NOLTTE=Peace
I am part of a small group that will purchase 25 legs to soldiers. I asked them to go through ranaviru, our organizer wants to do that by himself directly through SLDF.
So far I have donated two legs and hoping to continue for some time.
Now I have second thought about it when I feel certain things in Sri Lanka is not right.
If a custom officer/ vulcher wants $80 as a bribe to bring a laptop to Sri Lanka (a tax free item anyway). I am debating to choose between the custom or the injured soldier.
The legs they collect money from will last only 3 years.
I don't see we have a national vision for longer term help.
I am not sure why we can't build a leg factory that can produce longer lasting legs.
On top of that, the game pansale hamuduruvo wants to re-build the broken fence around the Bodhi. It takes 30 legs worth of money to do it.
When I suggest, why not postpone that project, those who are trying to get short cut for Nirvana gave me looks.
We are making a culture that will not be self sustaining. We had parental responsibilities, then we had religious obligations, we also has bribery and corruption expenses, on top of that we have millitary obligations.
At the end, we have been asked to sing "Lokem uthum rata lankawai".
Life sucks!
Does any one know which web site article is refered to?

Ma...friend..i'm lost...needs more elaborations....please.
DW and everyone else couple of questions:
Whats the difference between Commando Regiment and Special FOrces ?
By the capture of Chalai does this mean that VP cannot escape from sea.
Also the 7th Airstrip was captured does this innundate the air tigers ?
Whats the best estimate of when the war would end ?

Re: Electric Cars.
To be a sustainable business they should aim foreign market. Extravagant or extra ordinary cars do not make much interest locally. There are certain facts you consider when you buy a car in SL.
Why don't these guys think of making normal stuff. Why are we always looking at R&D? We need the industry to stand on its feet before R&D.
Look at China. They have made Sony, Philiphs and few other TV brands under one roof at a OEM facility. Now the big OEM has put its own brand TCL. Heard that Hyuandai first provided parts for Mitsubishi.
We're always too fancy when it comes for industry.
RC;
The industrial dreams you mentioned made me believe that you're more charity oriented.
Thanks for your positive comments about me. But the ideas of mine were not genuinely mine. There are so many expat entrepreneurs who just did that and did great. It is a proven and working formula. I found it worthy than complaining for breach of ideals.
I still like to invite all the expats, for entrepreneurship in SL. Mine is a more pragmatic idea than MR calling you all to come back and live here [and burden this over populated island].
Guys
on the youtube matter, one of our able diplomats has already got matters moving.
ReallyCold,
There is an Artificial Limb factory at Ranaviru Sevana.
If you are thinking of a better Artificial Limb, you have to visit "Matammana"- Gampaha. There is a foreign gentleman producing great artificial limbs superior in material and design than what is being produced at Ranaviru Sevana (many miles better than Jaipoor limbs). However, they are not "High-Tech" ones that few has access through Singapore, Germany or Japan.
The issue is, whatever the artificial limb, you have to periodically trouble-shoot and adjust them according to the body changes. The good thing is, they are 100% recyclable too.
The main issue that soldiers face is,
1. Lack of superior high-tech limbs (what we have are still first generation V1.2 type of limbs when the rest of the world is on V5
2. Lack of regional facilities to get their limbs adjusted or repaired. The soldiers have to travel long distances and wait in line for hours and days to get their limbs adjusted or repaired.
Complain about your laptop..
I can not remember whether the GOSL is now imposing tax on laptops (earlier it was not the case). My affiliations in SL is BOI thus, we are tax exempt.
If there is a Tax on laptops, we have to pay it no matter what. It is another debate whether we should tax laptops or computer equipment or not.
I am pretty sure that if a person bought the laptop overseas, they are highly likely to pay Taxes there too. If you are not whining about paying local taxes, then you should not whine about paying taxes in SL too.
About the corruption in SL Customs.. Tell me about it! The biggest corruptions happen in SL Customs and it is one of our nation's huge weak-points that needs fixing for a very long time.
"..phaedrus said...
An interesting update by SF@LNP too..."
Can anyone pl. give me the Link to SF@LNP?
Defencewire is 100% on 55 div leader Prasanna.
I've posted three links (google map, rivira 'ranabimen' and the video) when we crossed that nasty place. If I saw those on a movie, probably will laugh thinking that it can only happen in movies. But it's a classic. He is a geneious on war tactics!
Also I'm very impressed with 58 div Shivendra. How simple he is? they are the real masters, not the once who TALKS lot!
I believe that we could have minimised casualties in Chalai if we had some mobile cover.. I was thinking about some home made once like an armour-plated push-cart which troops could take cover from both direct and indirect fire. The videos showed how exposed they were on the bare land, and were taking sniper and 7.62 mm fire from LTTE.

World media (pro-LTTE media such as BBC etc) are on high due to diasspora money and LTTE need to close real news coming from fightig areas mostly to avoid world seeing the expected massive escape of tamil civilians in next few days and avoid revealing real LTTE liberation by them.
GSL propaganda is very low specially internationally and its those few who upload Rupavahini clips give some info to the rest of the world. Hope we fix this soon.
One rumor that I heard [and kept to me] was following by SF@LNP:
--------------
The ltte staged several successful counter attacks to thwart the military advance...
we had significant casualties in the last 7 days till the chalai main base fell.
day before yesterday the ltte broke a line in one of the most successful attacks in recent times resulting in significant casualties to the SLA,indicating that this was the final show and desperation suicide cadres arti and morat fire followed.the security council went in to emergency session at 1 am and that was how bad the counter attack was.extra measures had to be put through to control the situation.
all the Resistance fell today early morning persistence paid...!
over 300 ltte cadres have surrended...the process is in acceleration mode now...leaders are in negotiation...its a matter of days.
------------------
I found the following interesting news/guess/bluffing by SF@LNP:
------------------
vp has escaped BTW...
------------------
lankanews/lkwebnews
First of all, thanks a lot for the job you are doing.
Secondly, have you considered running a parallel (free) blog/website with all the clips? You can advertise it on youtube as well, and once people get used to it, they wouldn't be so dependent on youtube.
I hope you will be able to reactivate the account because there are a lot of important clips there.
/By the capture of Chalai does this mean that VP cannot escape from sea./
No. Around 25 km coastal line still under LTTE. Still he can escape via sea or air. according to some he has already escaped. [see SF @LNP].
Also, sea tigers still can attack - those small suicide boats can put into the sea from any coast - no big bases needed.
/Also the 7th Airstrip was captured does this inundate the air tigers ?/
May be they have one more in Pudu'pu area. But as per SLA-MI 7th one was the last one. I think zlins may not need air strip any tar road (A35) can be used as they still have zlins with them.
/Whats the best estimate of when the war would end ?/
Depends on civilians. If all of them came out less than week - if they stay with tigers until end at least 3 more months - my guess.
NINJA you are 100% correct
GOSL international Media Propaganda Is very slow and very poor. How we won this war so far, The way I see is, the way LTTE follows, we started to follows. we followed the all LTTE tack tics in way with mixing Technical knowhow. So we won so far.
But now we have to fight with all the LTTE diasporas Media Specially BBC, CNN and all others.
So the way is really easy. What we have to do is doing the same thing what LTTE diasporas doing right now. But we have to mix sum technically sound good approach to defeat this LTTE diasporas media war. Who will takes the initiatives. GOSL is sleeping, . We people around the world have to start this. This is very simple, but have to be very mindful. Because always enemy will take out mistake for their success.
Can GOSL do some effort on this? No need to do much on the election. Please be here and answer this international media war.
/ rathnayake said...
How we won this war so far, The way I see is, the way LTTE follows, we started to follows./
Well, upto some extent - say, using unconventional methods opposed to text book methods.
@ Media Propaganda
Yes, we have to learn from LTTE about propaganda. Nothing wrong learning from enemy.
GR/SF way in the battlefield worked but the same approach need not to work in other fronts such as media; in fact, it will not work rather make things worse for SL. They need to understand this.
We have to win in the international media front and fight will be mostly with citizens of Canada, USA, UK, EU etc. (i.e. diasspora) and they are masters of propaganda.
Difficulty is for BBC etc LTTE is innocent, GSL is bad and foe the rest of the world BBC etc is neutral !!!
We have to invite Paul Harris back!

@Sujeewa Kokawala
I am neither an entrepreneur or a person working on charities.
I am highly skilled tek guy (perhaps more than than according to my employer). I have however tried couple of business ideas exporting stuff from Sri Lanka, we couldn't go further because trustworthy issues with partners.
I am not sure how close you are with SL policy making or changes.
When expats visit Sri Lanka, they spend the most money there than an average European or Indian tourist.
Yet, Sri Lankan don't treat their own expats better than tourists. One Sri Lanka can do is to extend their arms to them in a practical manner just inviting them over microphone.
Here are some suggestions and some of them were inspired by an article found from a Sri Lankan business journal:
First, government must start attracting highly qualified expats living in other countries.
1) Offering them dual citizenship for free. Right now there is a $3000 charge and people stay away from spending that much.
2) Offering them all the discounts of local amenities like hotel charges the locals are getting.
3) Allowing them bring a tax free car (at least 1 in evry 5 years or so).
4) Helping them build the 2nd residence there (with lifted import restrictions).
This way, they will feel good about coming back to Sri Lanka again and start spending money and sharing their expertise.
When
1. War is no more
2. Corruption is totally eliminated
3. Law and Order is well established at least to the levels we find in the safe countries of the world (People feel that they are safe anywhere in Sri Lanka)
4. Extended equal opportunity (no favoritism or special laws to politicians and their goons)
People will start returning back. A duty-free car or other small perks won't matter if the above four conditions prevailing. The country would start booming naturally.
It is not point inviting the Expats back when those conditions are not yet there.
Minor correction to the above 4. I would correct it as,
- Law equally treating every citizen, and respect for humans and animals are established
The following program explains the current war.
WHILE ( area held by LTTP > 0 AND number_of_LTTP_carders > 0)
1 LTTP stay with Civillian
2 Fire at SLA
3 SLA responses
4 Civillian & some LTTP get killed & injured
5 Dispora supporters & TamilNut publish no of casualties in the web & news papers
6 TN jockers & other LTTP supportes in other countries start agitating by protesting, fasting & other crap and asking for Ceasefire
7 International Community & India ignore
8 SLGO ignores, MR/GR/SF ignore & continue to attack LTTP and defeat
9 LTTP withdraws with Civillians (By force)
10 SLA takes over the town/areas
11 Mahen & Peter write stories about tactical withdrawals
12 Dispora supporters believe in tactical withdrawal and keep the dream alive
13 We read Mahen & Peter blogs and laugh from the ASS
Jump_to_sea() OR self_immolation() OR swallow_cn()
END

I have however tried couple of business ideas exporting stuff from Sri Lanka, we couldn't go further because trustworthy issues with partners.
This is a hard case indeed. Harder than the techie related investments. Note that many ppl misuse such to import/export banned stuff etc. For that matter again SL system is too corrupted, so generally ppl suspect you.
I am not sure how close you are with SL policy making or changes.
As close as an ordinary man is. I never had faith in policy had I?
When expats visit Sri Lanka, they spend the most money there than an average European or Indian tourist.
This is right.
First, government must start attracting highly qualified expats living in other countries.
As I opposed this before, this is the worst plan of all. When you come here you will be taking up a job opportunity of a local and becoming a burden on SL. Note that what we have is intellectual work force. What we need is money[capital], knowledge, opportunity and market for our products.
Your value is not really the degrees you have passed, but the knowledge you have, money you earned and most importantly your links. So such values are better reserved if you live there, or live amphibious, i.e. part there and part here.
MR's invitation assumes that SL govt can house you and make you help the development. Govt run system is one major failures of our previously well built economy. I'm a very little socialist person, and have very little faith in theories based on ideals. Capitalism with mild state control will be the best.
1) Offering them dual citizenship for free. Right now there is a $3000 charge and people stay away from spending that much.
Agree. I still don't know what is so worthy govt believe to have in selling SL citizenship to expats. They should essentially make it free.
2) Offering them all the discounts of local amenities like hotel charges the locals are getting.
Not much the locals also get. This has no such validity. Most hotels are not under govt sector.
3) Allowing them bring a tax free car (at least 1 in evry 5 years or so).
At the first place I do not think it is fair to enforce ~300-400% tax on a motor vehicle for anyone. But SL does so.
Apart from that I think this suggestion should not be allowed. No special cases, that is what I think. You've gotta consider how many ppl will misuse this to sell cars to locals. Every five years someone can earn 300% profit on this permit. How many permits will be sold in black market?
4) Helping them build the 2nd residence there (with lifted import restrictions).
Again no special cases. It will be SURELY misused.
Why can't expats think equal to other SL ppl? Why do they wanna be treated special? Do they have a similar complexity like tamil diaspora for supremacy?
I always stand for no specialty rules. Everyone should be facing it equally. And I do not entertain too much charity either.
This way, they will feel good about coming back to Sri Lanka again and start spending money and sharing their expertise.
Mr President was very wrong to invite these well off ppl back to SL and work in SL [WTF he is risking jobs of locals]. I don't think he knew or meant what the words said.
I think if expats are coming they should come for a profit oriented business. And they should face equality at best. I wish to see a business friendly SL, but sadly they will be subjected to usual nonsense, as none of us have control over. But the theme should be profit, and we cannot entertain their complains at all.

Why is it so important to physically come back. There is nothing much you can do. Ppl coming back will be only a burden.
I think they should send back investments, and try to keep their well off life in tact. OK to come back after you ca make sure that your visit will create opportunity for some locals too.
BTW, it will take long for SL to achieve your requirements.
War victory should not be misinterpreted as the beginning of a total purification of SL.
Looks entertaining.
I don't know why I'm up at this hour.
Anyway, a short update at
http://peterratna.wordpress.com
If someone wants to build Sri Lanka, my above 4 conditions are a must, and the GOSL should 'strive' to achieve that. Those are basic requirements.
In parallel, we have to focus on 'education' and 'infrastructure'.
Then we have to promote investment, made by both locals and foreigners.

War is almost over.
Peter Peelam can be achieved in Toroonto, Norway or TN.
There is no way in SL.
Those who wish to achieve Peelam, better leave SL for one of those places.
Others can integrate with other races and live in One Country called SRI LANKA.
After the war, the next battle would be against corrupt politicians like Mara Mervin Silva.
If MR can fix it, it would be a heaven.
Peter is in sad mood as no claymores in Colombo - no civilians dead - sad independence day... LTTE couldn't satisfy at least Peter's last hope..

@Sujeewa Kokawala
You sound like a ruthless/ heartless policy maker who is plotting for other people's money. Your views sound like the 2nd generation of the corrupt generation.
Are you scared of an expat coming back and taking over jobs in SRi Lanka?
Isn't that the best we can do as a nation? The western world is praying for highly skilled workers, you seem to be scared about it.
I want their wisdom, work ethics, ideas, and then give them all the amnesties politicians are having. Round up 1000 expats living abroad and find a retreat for them to come and contribute. Give them assignments, goals, and expecting reports.
People will work for free if they can do something for themselves in Sri Lanka. Most highly skilled people aren't interested living in hotels doing nothing anyway.
Invite a doctor to perform eye surgaries. Offer him a duty free car permit SL doctors are getting. He will do his service for free.

Lalith,
I don't want to miss the last chance. I'm for 58.

[Invite a doctor to perform eye surgaries. Offer him a duty free car permit SL doctors are getting. He will do his service for free.]
ReallyCold,
Mentioning "duty free car" one too many times in your so called reform posts brought some suspicious about your motive, are you the Buddist monk who owns the BEnz and Beamers in colombo and uses it for your commuting between their woe houses and parliament?
First time i hear from your diarrhea mouth that expats love duty free cars to return back to their country.
I'm pretty sure if Obama introduces one more cap $150k for any skilled/management employee, all the expats would return from US :)
If Western countries put the cap on toilet cleaning hourly wages to be less than $10.00 per hour, we would see a huge reverse expatriation of LTTE coolies!
Will prey that it will not happen.
No –ltte
In parallel, we have to focus on 'education' and 'infrastructure'.

You are absolutely right
May I ask what kind of education and what type of inffrastcture you have in mind?
This blog is moving to a new gear and I am sure the people in power will send the white vans and Mevin’s when we go on discussing the solutions to our next problem in the island as they are reason for it I am afraid!
I have burnt my fingers in SL and my investments are immensely suffering with no end in sight and the people in power knows about it being a party activist and get no sympathy at all.
If our leaders are really genuine in developing the country why o why do they disassociate with the Emirates at this crucial time, get rid of the CEO,why do they float that Mihin for the second time knowing it’s going to fail and why are they hell bent in putting an airport in Weeravala away from nowhere. Don’t they ever do a thing called a feasibility study? Have they ever shown concern or done a feasibility study to see what conditions are there in the country to attract foreign capital?
I am an investor in Malaysia, Singapore, UK and in SL and why is it that I am hopelessly doing bad in SL,having to send money from abroad to keep it running?
People in SL who are ruining any quality of life are the politicans,cops and the religious paternity of the majority type and once you are caught with them then your investments are doomed.
We have an utterly hopeless judiciary where the politicians are trying to dirty it further to their advantage.
My lifelong friend and business partner bought an investment land with values over several millions of US $ over the last 3 decades and those lands are left barren because a top cop grabbed part of it and blocked all access to it and he went to courts for 2 ½ decades and the judge was unwilling to give the verdict and eventually it was sold to politician/religious dignitary with a lot of clout where the courts are unwilling to deal for the last decade and he is given the final whammy by getting his planning permission denied while the politician and other people are allowed to build.CBK knew about it so others but none wants to help him and he has a worthless land for the last 3 ½ decades bogged down with court cases.
This goes to our running business where the tenants are finding it difficult to pay the rents due to absurd restriction imposed on their clients to come to the building. Now our NRFC are under severe restrictions and seems to go into dormant within a short time. Politicians knows all these problems but I think they are there for a short time and they are just play acting to survive.
Our problems are not limited to any one political party, seems to be a national epidemic which needs a few painful steps.It is quite fitting that the Prez praised Puran appu in his speech and I wonder where our island would be if he had won that battle in 1848 and his achievements could have be fitting of that Mervin our latter day puran

OR THE LONGEST TACTICAL WITHDRAWAL IN THE HISTORY.
SK, NOLTTE,
There is a gem that Buddha gave us and we ignore it completely.
That is Anathma doctrine. It says nothing in the universe exists by itself. Everything exists depending on everything else. What does it has to do with Business, the subject at hand?
We need thorough bred men of science for the 21 century, not the half baked stuff.
Observe the evolution of our Earth. It began as a rock and today it has reached the stage of the blue planet with life blossoming everywhere. ( Comets bringing in life? Yes, possible. But then what happened on the comet?)
Now think it over : a rock has the capacity to turn into life if given few billion years ! That is the way of the worlds!
The life arises depending on billions of factors, life arises as a phenomena of interdependencies. If the Bees are taken out of the Eco System, then almost all vegetation ceases to exist.
When we are nor aware of this interdependent nature of life, we become selfish, we destroy the environment that sustains us and we abuse our own people to satisfy our whims. These whims/desires also arise as products of dependencies and has no real intrinsic value.
If the people around are sick, you are sure to get sick also. So practise Maithriya & Karuna even in Business. If you pollute, your own self will get polluted sooner or later.
The 21 century Business has to take into consideration these real scientific exigencies for good life if coming generations are to avoid turning Earth back into a sterile rock within few hundred years from now.
There is lot of sane business that is suitable for SL – Bio agriculture, knowledge based creative industries, tourism, health care, wood works, jewellers and the like. These industries must take into account all factors which sustain them and act in a way to optimise the results with least harm to the environment/life. We can set examples to the world in many such fields.
You can be a brute in business if you do not leave waste products behind for the kind attention of the generations to come – like all the Nuclear Generators reaching the expiry date.
We must enlighten SLRC, ITN and Swarnavahini on youtube issue.

Puthu is the last face to face front. It will take at least one week because LTTP will put all their remaining bodies including probably VP.
Once Puthu is taken it is all over.
I think there will be a lot of casualties, but GR/SF should have a plan.
Really Cold,
I have heard your argument before from someone else. With all due respect to you, that someone was no enteprenuer at all. He just visited SL because he still liked the country and had his parents there.
Having known him and I know that he somehow thought that the "expats" better get preferencial treatements (like cheap hotel packages so when they came for holidays they can enjoy cheaper), free duel citizenship so they don't even have to spend money on it. There was NOTHING whatsoever he'd have done for SL except for coming here for his family duties and as a preferred destination for holidays. You may be genuine, but I'm sure there are hundreds like him.
IMO, if someone can't spend on the dual citizenship money as a donation to SL at least to repay his free education, it's highly unlikely that he "brings business" for country's sake. When there's one that brings business, there will be 1000 who think that mandatory relations/holidays in SL just got cheaper. Let's be honest.
Really Cold,
also your computer tax comment: If I heard you right, the person brought the computer for his son. So why shouldn't it have been taxed?

Why does the Tamil Diaspora Support the Tigers? Here is Another Reason
If the Tamil Tigers are completely defeated, which is now a certainty, many Diaspora Tamils will be denied refugee status in western countries, and will be forced by the host countries to return to Sri Lanka. Since most of them are in reality economic refugees, very often smuggled into those countries by the LTTE for a fee, and earning many times what they would earn in Sri Lanka, they do not want to return to Sri Lanka.
Therefore, they HAVE TO KEEP THE EELAM STRUGGLE GOING in Sri Lanka, to maintain the level of violence as high as possible, in order to qualify as refugees from violence, until they gain permanent resident status.
This is one of the main reasons why many Diaspora Tamils support the LTTE: ECONOMIC SELF-INTEREST, pure and simple.
Sinhala immigrants, however, cannot claim refugee-from-violence status. As such, the economic interests of the great majority of the Sinhala Diaspora is not served by a war in Sri Lanka; therefore, they support the war effort to attain peace in Sri Lanka, without a conflict with their economic self-interest.
The ability of the Tamil Diaspora to claim refugee status has been one of the principal results of the pretextual claim of "intolerable disrimination & communal violence" against them in Sri Lanka. This charge was carefully conceived, nurtured and disseminated throughout the world to demonize the Sinhala people and all governments of Sri Lanka. They expelled from their minds both the pain and suffering they are unnecessarily inflicting on their own people, and the great injustice of demonization perpetrated against their Sinhala friends who befriended and protected them in Sri Lanka in both good and bad times. This has enabled them to easily enter western countrie. Since their economic goals coincided with the fund raising goals of the LTTE through taxation, it was clearly a marriage made in heaven.
Hi everybody,
We are pleased to inform about the launch of our new website on 04-Feb-2008 to mark the 61st Independence Day celebrations.
http://www.ranavirufund.org
Until now we depended on a 'crude' website at blogspot.com to canvass for support. Many of you suggested we should have our own website, while some questioned our sincerity because we did not have a 'proper' website for the purpose.
We too agree with most of your comments. We needed a 'proper' website to demonstrate that we are serious about what we are doing and it is also a demonstration of our commitment to carry on the project for many years to come.
Thank you for your suggestions, remarks and criticism. Your remarks are one of the reasons which encouraged us to invest our time and resources on the new web site.
Thank you

/Come'on out LTTE heroes... show to the whole world that you can fight and change the course of this fight./
Well said. The so called liberators and the sole representatives of the Tamils - are not only shitting but also decorating them by their own shit.
Using and hiding behind innocent tamil people for own safety not only shows what a cowerd SunGote has become but that would erode their claim of "sole representatives", entire ideology and with that popularity.
The beauti is that LTTE is loosing from both ends. Unless, the ordinary Tamils are idiots, LTTE is history.
DefWire...!
"Meanwhile Brigadier Prasanna Silva's 55 Division has finally entered Chalai. The declaration of the capture will be made within 24hrs as Sea Tigers putting up stiff resistance to guard its last entry-point into the sea were finding it extremely difficult to fight on due to the unconventional tactics employed by the veteran Special Forces officer and his junior commanders."
We/Every one would love to hear these unconventional tactics one day...!

/If the Tamil Tigers are completely defeated, which is now a certainty, many Diaspora Tamils will be denied refugee status in western countries, and will be forced by the host countries to return to Sri Lanka./
Very good point. Right on the mark.
"Family re-union category applications" were also lodged/supported on compassionate grounds. All, such would be put on hold when the war ends and many would be asked to return.
That would dismantle a multi-million business of people smuggling to Canada, Australia, Europe and India.
Hi All,
Looking in to the past and making an evocative realistic meaning need great effort , integrity, patience, enough resources and determination, to understand the barriers and blocks for enhancing potential at present and future growth. It is this process integrity under the present leadership that is leading Sri Lanka towards this victory.

for those math lovers......
so prasanna silva fired MBRLs at 0 theta!!!
they would have had a maximum range of about 1.5 km.
http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/classes/581/ProjectilesExcel.html
first calculate the initial velocity by using the maximum range of our MBRLs. it is a phycics fact that for the maximum range, theta has to be 45.
you get 500m/s as the initial velocity.
apply this to the model. but there is an elevation BM-21 has from the gorund. so 0 degrees is not going to work. so make it about 1-2 degrees. at 1 you get 850 metres.
a good move (of course a VERY aggressive one) to take tiger resistence points at hand. of course you don't need a volly of 56 rockets in one setting!!
good move.
Rana/AGG and others
I enjoyed reading both of you and respected you as friends. You should have felt that through my comments.
Appearing in disguise is an age old, accepted journalistic norm. It is fine for the same author to give birth to completely opposing characters. This was done with the intention to stimulate the reader to have different perspectives. In such write-ups author should not be judged. I knew few of the authors who used that style of writing and fascinated by how they explained few tricks of that trade – ex. “seeyage kolama”, “podiekage liyuma” etc. (but they were one way communication. no debates)
You may also have noticed all blog spaces technically facilitate this feature with the same identify. Half the fun, for me, is to track such characters. I am sure many are doing what Rana was accused of even now. I my-self once attempted to create “Indira” – an Indian agent who has no norms or ethics other than Indian interest at heart. As, I blew off the cover by a technical oversight, I came public and culled “Indira” after one post. The reason for creating that character was, I felt at the time that RAW’s finger in the pie is not well represented and therefore not subjected to proper discussion.
However, author must be careful that such characters must follow few rules,
1. Should be true to the objective and self contained.
2. Should never contradict a meaningful and sincere dialogue by bringing a third character by the same author.
3. Never contradict “authors” perceived stand on the matter at hand.
If above are not followed carefully, it is inevitable that “author” emanates a “fake”, “un trustworthy”, “double standard” personality.
Rana - If this was the case bro you owe an apology to AGG.
AGG - mate you do not have to leave many friends and something you and they enjoy because one friend inadvertently or otherwise stepped out of line.
Very soon the contents discussed here become history. But friendships it generated must prevail.

Good riddance.
Samana,
Mate, this is a blog with anonymous characters. Nobody knows who is rana or amma gahai unless authors volunteer to reveal. I volunteered to reveal my real identity to few people including you with faith.
Even, if I have done the highest possible crime on earth, my trust worthy friend should have come to me first and challenge my behavior giving me a chance to defend the reason for crime or treason.
Amma Gahai sends me an email around noon asking few questions, I replied to him with honest answers. Then he betrayed me. You can see all evidences, if read the whole thread. If he has just ask me come clean, I would have done the announcement with reasons instead him declaring me as a traitor. However, he chose not to follow that, it is a bad choice but it was his chosen one. It is done and dusted now.
I have done nothing wrong; any of the characters which I represented did not violate patriotism to Sri Lanka. We are all fakes here, except Rana is now real.
Even now, I would say, this blog is nothing, it is not doing even 0.01% towards the conflict solving in SL, but satisfying our personal egos. Therefore, as somebody said who ever wants attack me or Amma Gahai should think twice, before hurling the first piece of rock to me or Amma Gahai.
I am still same old Rana.
Amma Gahai/Gahawi,
"And this is only a blog and don’t take it too personal!"
That's what is so bizarre about how you stabbed Rana in the back, without even giving him any warning. There are all sorts of fakes in this blog that it is more or less normal that there was no need to single him out. Have you even met anyone else here than Rana????
I don't have much to add to what ReallyCold and Bhairav/Fake Ananda have already told you- you lost a flesh-and-blood friend for the sake of nameless aliases (including myself) on this blog. You never even told Rana that you felt bad about what he was doing- you just pretended everything was ok. So who's the real fake?
"But u have gone too far and u r trying to destroy/control the blog!"
You don't thing Arse-ithri ruined the blog by writing crap against bloggers who are anti-LTTE?? Or Appriya or Schizo Sam by writing similar rubbish???
"Wijayapala don’t need anyone to fight for him! He can do it by himself!"
That's true, I never expected anyone to stand up for me. But Rana did (even though we had never met) and that is why I am sticking up for him now.
"I may be a humper, but I do have ethics"
But you don't have a friend. That is the tragedy.
About that drink you owe me- seeing how you treat "drinking buddies," you can keep it. All the best.
[U.S. Tamils urge Ambassador Rice to intervene in Sri Lanka]
Yes, ambassador, you know we have long outsourced our Elaam project to two groups... LTTE terrorists and International community. We love you… we love you... we love you...

In the meantime, we can hold some placards.

DW proved my posting is true. I told everyone Chalai will be taken within 24 hours. I said this on 3rd of Feb. Before that I have confirmed our forces have breached 3rd tiger defence line. Which proved by Rupavahini.
Once again I asked who is captured by 58 when they raided Pirbha bunker. They had arrested one of the big head of LTTE.
Now SL forces has be very carefully handle IDP who is coming. There are tigers aged 70 to 11 years. They too reaching Army disguising as Civilians. Still more Arms to capture.

I’m not surprised, Sumanakka was the same.
I don't have much to add to what ReallyCold and Bhairav/Fake Ananda have already told you
How sad Wije? Your best friends are all fakes and LTTE terrorists!
Don’t you still get it dumbnut?
I never expected anyone to stand up for me. But Rana did (even though we had never met) and that is why I am sticking up for him now.
Stick him up your ass. Your best friends are all fakes.
But you don't have a friend. That is the tragedy.
Hilarious. Who has no friends, Amma Gahai? Just read what bloggers had to say to Amma Gahai. All the good ones want him to say. He has the most number of friends here.
Just stop pulling my cock (thinking that it is my leg), Wije.
It is good he doesn’t have sakkiliyas like you to call “drinking buddies”.
When all the bloggers praise Amma Gahai only lunatics like Wesa-Balla tries to slay him. You are an anti-social piece of smelly shit. Don’t you still get it dumbfuck?
Wijayapala,
Thanks, brother.
I am not going anywhere because; we have a work to do. We should work together helping Sri Lankans to bring true and ever lasting peace for Sri Lanka.
I am ready to play my part along with you, Swarnajith, Sujeewa and Really Cold.
/AGG only get respect from the fake bottom scrapers here. He lost real Rana./
ok its ammagg who lost rana (yes real rana) but it was his decision and choice - why others worry about ammagg losing his friend?
i rarely dabble in out of topics that distract from the subject at hand. however i shall make one comment on this rana/ammag thang.
i lost hope some humanity when a guy whom allegedly had a discussion with a close buddy would just blurt what was discussed in confidence in a public forum. this is a low unconscionable act which i condemn.
on the other hand rana should grow some balls if he has something to say without hiding behind other names.
i shall not pollute this blog no more on this topic.
The Ponna Peramuna of Mongal, Ranil, Rana, Wijayapala, Swarnajith, Sujeewa and Really Cold.
Sujeewa, you don't belong here because you are not a fake. Get out of the Ponna Peramun buddy if you are in it accidently. I'm sure you are not in it.
priyashantha,
everyday you pop out of the blue like the tail of wije here with 'vesa' this and 'sumankka' that.
you really say nothing else of value. its getting stale and boring. its become dry humor.
i hope you just get the fuck out from this blog. not because of anything else but you bore me. yawn...

first calculate the initial velocity by using the maximum range of our MBRLs. it is a phycics fact that for the maximum range, theta has to be 45.
you get 500m/s as the initial velocity
Hey, I like your use of maximum range spec to back calculate/estimate initial velocity! INSPIRED! :)

ReallyCold,
"AGG only get respect from the fake bottom scrapers here. He lost real Rana."
There you hit the nail on the head.
Wijayapala,
with all due respect, could we please move on? There's no point trying to beat around the same bush, and you can contribute something more productive. IF you want to carry on this useless feud, what do you mean by the "real rana"? The one who called people "brother" in face and came under different names to attack them? The one used dirtier tactics plainly intended to disrupt the operation of the blog just because he was frustrated about the status quo?
If these are not "real rana" then who did this? The "real" is the one character that one wants to hide from the public. I appreciate Rana's positive contributions myself, and I have nothing against Rana. But I have been watching how you, ReallyCold, Rana etc don't apply the same high ethics you preach to YOUR own practice. For you, "if it's a friend, then one should not expose him" is fine. I agree probably AG/A would better warned Rana first. But that doesn't make "real rana" a saint. He STILL did what he did.
I suggest let's forget and move on. Let Rana and AG/G both contribute, and let personal criticism and questioning go on if necessary. As I said about ReallyCold, your behavior reminds me of the clique/cabal behavior of NGOs where there is immunity for people who do bad things as long as they are under your "general team" which you yourself define as "good". Some think since Sunanda Deshapriya was a big shot fighting against "bad things" it's not good to publicly attack him for his malpractices. Your ethics are the same. Don't think I have anything personal against you, ReallyCold or Rana. I'm just asking that you behave under the same high morals that you expect from others.
Panhinda.
I am willing to bet that at the end it will turn out there were only about 50,000 people in the uncleared areas.
All these inflated numbers originate from the LTTE conning and manipulating the NGO/INGO staff for propaganda and for getting as many supplies/aid as they can. The latter don't have direct access to all the people; they work through the LTTE frontenders.
That is why a census must be carried out as a HIGH PRIORITY TASK, before resettlement of IDPs begin from the South and afterwards, to expose all the nonsense we have been fed all these years, by biased NGOs working hand-in-glove with the LTTE.
Wijayapala, ReallyCold
Probably you should treat "Real Asithri" as the Asithri that uses decent and eloquent language in places such as AsianTribune. That way, you'll see that you miss the friendship of "Real Asithri".
Who cares if its the same human being? You can apply the same logic that you apply to Rana.

Possibly the initial velocity is MUCH higher than that. I'm sure even with that shape, there's a lot of drag involved.
Ananda,

i only blame ICRC and UN for reporting numbers without any proper survey or study. they should have gone the GA who keeps tab of numbers because he has to distribute meals etc.
if their defense though, they probably asked informally from someone with LTTE connection without knowing.
/on the other hand rana should grow some balls if he has something to say without hiding behind other names./
Rana is already hiding behind a name called Rana and same holds for other bloggers too - why more names to hide behind?
Panhinda
Lets stop this.. and move on. You are not in !@#$ club..
Dear Rana:
As a good friend I stand by you but I cannot condone your behaviour. You are threatening other people with filth. I can tolerate filth coming from people who are not close to me much. Even if they call me filthy names it does not hurt a bit. But it hurts much-so much- when a friend of mine uses filth against even on my 'worst' enemy.
If you do not stop and apologise to the blog then I will quit. It does not matter whether others are wrong or not. You are responsible for your behaviour only. Leave their behaviour for themselves.
Still I am your true friend I would like to see the best of you not the worst you can be.
Thanks!
PS: Wijeyapala, as a good friend I stand by you too, but please do not chase and even in mildly form attack your distracters. Even when they attack, by attacking them you do not do any service to your purpose. Express your views sincerely. When they call you names you do not become what they call you. Ignore. Please my friends do not aggravate the problem. When friends do not meet our expectations it hurts more. I am sure Rana and Wijey, you have faced the same situations.
SWARNAJITH UDANA
Still I am busy. I will respond Priyashantha later if I decide to stay here.
ananda,
cheers.
dk,
no; the calculation takes into account that (theoritically).
anyway a change due to drag/higher air resistence, etc. is well within the range i have given so the conclusion won't change.
credits to the university and the professor who built it.

Sure... Then why hesitate to take take the next step? Get the LTTE relocated to Australia.
This is on the way, once we have defeated the LTTE and they look around for a new Eelam; Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in Australia (LTTEA) is on the way.
However, Australia in not a Buddhist majority country; the Eelam struggle in Australia will end in 4 YEARS FLAT with total annihilation of all LTTEA supporters.
All those Australians preaching "political solutions" to Sri Lanka now, will implement a scorched earth "military solution" in Australia then!
My recommendation to LTTE supporters, however, is to focus strictly on Norway, which is a much easier nut to crack than Australia and you already have a wonderful base there!
dk,
you are right.
the velocity is 650m/s. my calculation rerurned a little less.
but the conclusion is still the same.
Really cold,
I am not sure why we can't build a leg factory that can produce longer lasting legs.
There are many artificial limb factories in Sri Lanka. Army Rehabilitaion information page has information about the one at Ranaviru Sevana workshop and the jaipur foot programme. http://www.army.lk/rehab2.php
I have very patriotic friend who works very closely with Ranaviru Sevna. According to him the place is well organised, and run efficiently in a very professional manner. If the Sri Lankan expats donate just 10% of what the LTTE diapsora donates to the LTTE for destruction, the Army Rehabiliation program will do wonders.

Great Speech from Mr. Bandula Jayasekara
NOLTTE=Peace,
Thanks for publishing the post about the "Sevavanitha Scholorship Program". Thanks to you, I've got about 6 requests for the application form today. Usually I get a total of 8-15 requests if I manage to post it amongst the first ten comments. But if I miss that window of oppertunity the number of requsts are usually about 3-6.
HM,
You are welcome!
I noticed that you are falling behind today and I thought to step in.
Man, you guys are doing a great job.
Keep up the good work!
Moshe,
You are responsible of damaging a hospital and killing some innocent civilians (at least for the picture opportunity)...!
You told in this blog that the PTK hospital is not damaged and the Tamilnet has lied.
They have decided to provide proof and ask their LTTE counterparts to bomb the hospital, damage the hospital, kill some civilians (or asked them to lie face down) and send photos. Now you see them in ToiletNet.
http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=28314
2. Did you spot the most funniest in that article? It says "A UN official in Colombo also told reporters that cluster bombs were used in the attack on hospital. "
First, TamilNet and LTTE media made up the story of GOSL using 'cluster bombs' to attack PTK hospital. Then Gorden Weiss, the resident idiot of UN quoted as he saw it by himself. Now Tamilnet comes back and tells it as it has orginiated from our UN Resident Idiot(tm)!
Isn't that funny?
Dark Night
Society has lot of bad people and few good people. We are not the most morally correct culture in the world. I know how some Sri Lankans work. Having said that, I am part of a network of people who really care about Sri Lankans. Some of the adapt children, build houses, help out temples, help out education, businesses, and the list goes on. There is a guy who is training SL teachers from his basement in USA. There are many people like that. I want the government to recognize their efforts and reward them. This is how you build a strong culture of helping people.
About computers, Sri Lanka has a tax waiver for computers. We are far behind in the digital divide. This was a good policy introduced by CBK administration. Somehow vulchers at Customs hold Laptops and give people a hard time stating they are not computers.
The value of Sri Lankan free education has gone down so much and repaying for it is pretty easy. Most people are paying tuition masters for test preparation that schools are unable to do anyway.

As I said before, Priyasantha is nothing but piece of shit. It's even sad when priyasantha has followers here. How can you justify and support a guy who sneakily intrudes into real lives of bloggers and he proudly comes back say that I spoke with his mother yap yap yap...Please show me one single post he made sense.
Regards to AGG/Rana feud, AGG has really wanted to cash in on the expense of Rana. In fact, this guy made poor judgment and if I were his hiring manager, I would never hire him and so as the bloggers who supported AGG's act, that gave 90% of the bloggers who were simply not qualified for any skilled/management jobs. Well, these findings did not surprise me since once SINHALA MODA, YOU ALWAYS A MODA.
[LTTE Toronto Exposed]
Good one... here goes the trialing text for your convenience...
QUOTE--
Tamils in Canada support the Tamil Tigers.
The Tamil Tigers are banned in Canada, EU and the US as a terrorist organization.
Toronto's Tamils hope that the Canadian government put a halt to the current offensive against the Tamil Tigers, which would provide the Tigers sufficient time to re-arm and regroup. Taking Sri Lanka back to to civil war. The tigers are facing defeat at the hand of Sri Lanka's democratically elected government.
many of Canada's Tamil reside in Canada as refugees. Thousand of refugee cases are yet to be heard.
By taking Sri Lanka back into civil war, the immigration claim for refugee status is prolonged.
If peace achieved by defeating the Tamil Tigers, many refugee cases will become null and void, and refugees will be asked to return to Sri Lanka.
Do not fall prey to the word 'Genocide'. There is no Genocide in Sri Lanka - Canadian high commission in Colombo is operational and makes no mention of genocide.

Moshe,
sorry I kinda lost the thread here or missed something. Probably we both are wrong. You were talking about MBRL weren't you? The projectile calculation shouldn't stand for these as they aren't exactly *projectiles*, unlike shells. May be I got the whole thing messed up.
Also, rockets have additional variable, as their weight doesn't stay the same during travel.
noltte,
yes, yes!! (lol!) i loved taking hospitals so that the harvest will increase. but never expected tigers to do it just for a photo.
(i challenged them and they did it). only barbarians could do that.
noticed it. the UN guy has even rejected it by now!! its like the former UN undersecretary of whatever said the govt abducts ppl and got a fantastic whacking from jeyaraj.
Well, I have been away for a while and it looks like there has been a bit of a soap opera. I must have had some strange reason for avoiding reading blogger comments on DW's last post. I don't intend to look back nor a sense of curiosity about it. No doubt the kitties and the moles had good fun with it.
Regarding the current situation, it is good to see that the kitties swallowed the Chess-Master bait whole and focussed on the "No Fire Zone". Now they are trapped, the mop up should be easier. As I pointed out earlier, the number of civilians in the area appears to be hugely exaggerated. I would speculate that the Grand Chess Master may have even utilised LTTE/diaspora lies against them.
Hoe DW will have enough contacts to reveal the real stories behind the recent tactics soon.
dk,
the only difference is propulsion.
but range is not different even in the case of rockets used as artillery.
the calculation gives a precise answer with appropriate variables.
