The Army suffered a setback last weekend when around 600 hardcore LTTE cadres infiltrated the FDL of the Army's 58 Division from the general area Puthukudirippu North. A group of around 200 cadres who attempted to flank the 55 and 58 were massacred by 3 Special Forces and 2 Commandos after the 55 Division spotted them early on.
Although Military Intelligence had warned of a possible infiltration, the 58 Division had not taken the warning seriously. The 600 member LTTE team was led by Lawrence and Swarnam and around 200 of them had escaped back to LTTE dominated areas after dismantling the 58 FDL. It is believed that the body of Lawrence is among those recovered by the SLA.
A group of around 200 more are still inside SLA dominated areas. Troop movement along the A-9 has stopped due to fear of attacks on soldiers returning on leave. The 58 was unable to bridge the broken FDL until the Special Forces and the 57 Division arrived.
Today a team of Tigers from the infiltration team captured an Army Artillery Gun Position and destroyed 3 130mm canons after turning the guns against the SLA. The Tigers had infiltrated 10-12km into SLA dominated areas to capture the position, which is situated near the former IDP camp in Kilinochchi where a woman suicide bomber blew herself up some time ago.
The Army had 200 casualties on the 7th alone, which included 70 killed. After helping the 58 regroup from its setback, the Special Forces will now hunt the Tigers down, which will be somewhat difficult as they are wearing SLA uniforms and reinforced by weapons and food dumps yet unrecovered by the 58. Many were expecting the LTTE to breach the coast from Nagarkovil to Puthumathalang by sea but the 55 Division had made the coastline unbreachable.

Reading the Signs in the Diaspora
http://www.island.lk/2009/03/12/features2.html
There are signs that even the diaspora is finally realizing the truth about LTTE. The support is dwindling. Except of course among those living the good life by belonging to the pro-LTTE organized crime group.
Now all that DW has to do is help Defence Column get laid.

Meanwhile, the United Nations has accused the Tigers of siphoning off food destined for severely malnourished children. It said a high-energy supplement found on a dead rebel had come from an aid consignment sent two years ago.
Bugger! BBC mentions this buried deep in the article on heavy fighting. Do you think terrorists made a mistake because UN labeled the food for 'severely retarded children' instead of 'severely malnourished children' as BBC says.
Cheers!
Is it true that VP died on 08 March?
I thought a great astrologer predicted it. Must have happened.

Hm, the article just quoted "John C Thompson is the President of The Mackenzie Institute in Toronto Canada. The Institute, cited by several major Canadian newspapers as one of Canada’s leading research organizations, prides itself on its objective and independent forays into some of the most contentious issues of the day. Its work often becomes a catalyst for informed debate and major change. He directs its research into issues relating to domestic and international political instability and organized violence (e.g. terrorism, warfare, organized crime, conflict, causes of instability, political extremism, etc.) Former Intelligence Officer of the Canadian Army, Thompson was awarded the Canadian Forces Decoration in 1989. He left the service as a Captain. John is a member of Civitas, the Queen’s York Rangers Regimental Council, the Royal Canadian Military Institute – and its pistol club, Fair Vote Canada, the International Counter-Terrorism Officers Association)"

The official, Dr T Varatharajah said most of the casualties were caused by shelling.
The Sri Lankan military has denied responsibility for the deaths and injuries - a spokesman said the official had been under pressure from the Tamil Tiger rebels to exaggerate civilian casualties.
Herr doctor will soon do a 180 degree turn and say 'I never supported LTTE. I hate the LTTE. I love Sri Lanka'

You said earlier that 55 is under siege, that means they are on the death trap?
If we can put them under siege, constant shelling will do the trick.

Since you're a Kandiyan, how do you take a turn to screw your wife who also shared by your other brothers?
Any resource deadlock occurs?
Bhairav,
Similar situation to EPS back in the days.
This time around they have water wells and are getting food and other stuff air dropped. Tigers are firing mortars, albeit sparingly.
Last time a team went in most were killed; I think you would have seen the photos. Another team will probably attempt to breakthrough in a week or so. That's if Tigers manage to maintain the siege.

Well I guess that I didn't believe them cause look at the trouble I'm in
Peelam's gone gone gone gone gone gone crying won't bring her back
The more that I cry the faster the train flies further on down the track
I lost every right to be happy when I lost the heaven I'd found
Lankans warned me this will happen and it happend before my first tear hit the ground
Peelam's gone gone gone gone...

No, that is not correct.

The Sri Lanka Defence Forces, FULLY BACKED by the PEOPLE of SRI LANKA, are ENDING it by destroying the LTTE, and ALL other SEPARATISTS who are still hiding in the grass.

IMF deal is a blessing in disguise. It will force the govt to cut unnecessary costs. The expenses that are essentially used to buy votes. It will be choice between getting used to financial prudence or failing in war and losing election too.
IMF is full of fukwits.
No country ever changes cause of IMF intervention. Moda Lanka was at the receiving end in 2001 and again after the Tsunami. Still, the moda land remains just as messed up.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Guys, sldf radio interceptions are too powerful. So powerful that it killed col. Lawrence, col. Soosai and col. Pottu in one transmission. It is not the thousands of artillery shlls that are killing our people in Vanni, it is in fact these radio signals. Soon the US army will be employing this to annihilate the Taleban, Al-Qaeda and the Iranians.
I don't know if I should laugh or feel sorry/sad at reading the stinkala propaganda. I love how dw reports that col. Lawrence's body has been found BUT GUESS WHAT? NO PICTURES!! They are saving it for their showcase along the bandaranaike airport road exhibition.
Stinkalese can't even run their propaganda properly.
I believe it has been more than 72 hrs. The sla are fighting the ghosts of Tamil Eelam for the Tigers are all dead and defeated.

/*

You can't think of any country that benefited from an IMF intervention?
IMF intervention is a short term gloss that only demands superficial changes.
Almost always, the country gets fucked up by structural weaknesses; IMF never enforces major structural, lasting changes.

Richest Srilankan Tamil diaspora is one guy from UK, his net worth is $400M.
In Canada, net worth of richest Tamil diaspora is closer to $50M but you can find many millionaire Tamils in Canada in the range of $1M to $10M.
navindran,
Ananda Krishnan who owns SL 35% stake in SL telecom is a Tamil Buddhist. He knew the way to escape the Vellahla menace and the primitive caste system.
In 80s, many Tamils were in the top 10 richest people in SL, including E.Sanmugam, and E.Aarumugam who were my villagers. I heard Premadasa killed them.
Who killed the Upali?
Making the first Billion is the hardest part, then money makes money.
navindran,
panhinda is right. AK is not a racist like you. i had the pleasure of doing a short consultancy assignment for one of his businesses.
he LOVES malaysia and LOVES sri lanka. he has never heard of a country by the name tamil elam!!
lol!!
one child is a buddhist monk. yes. a buddhist monk!!!
that hurts racist navindran who scavengers around the world searching tamils!

Now would you please hurry up and tell them to allow moda Sri Lankans to live their poor moda lives in their own moda ways... without asking them to change? Please!
If any 'change' is to come... it HAS to come from those Diaspora boys. WE ARE NOT READY FOR THE DOGGYSTYLE. Instead, we are prepared for any THREAT from them. The detailed RECIPE on how to do that is written in GOLD LETTERS in Mahawansa,

No.. it is two guys.. they are brothers and run LTTE's largest phone card business.
A tribute to all the fallen heroes...
The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
'Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you ?
Have you always turned the other cheek ?
To My Church have you been true?'
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
'No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here..
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
'Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell.'

Bhairav,
Premadasa killed a lot of people but they werre not Tamil. The most powerful person in the country during his regime was Mr. Paskaralingam. He was more powerful than any cabinet member.
Many of the Pettah wholesalers who lost their businesses during 83 riots were Mr. Premadasa's friends. Mr. VTV Devanayagam Pillai was the biggest wholesaler and with this undeclared wealth was probably one of the richest persons in Sri Lanka at that time. Yes. Premadasa most likely killed Upali Wijewardene but then Upali had ambitions of becoming president of Sri Lanka.

so who cares. come out of your mono-ethnic mentality.

yes, there is no politics and no one gives a damn about silva, perera, fernando or fonseka.
IF (i mean IF) there was internal politics, by now there would be a big kefuffle over the week-end incident. such is not forthcoming which means there is NO politics.
but there should be BIG political infighting within the LTTE because it is debacle day, everyday in the LTTE!!!
lol!!
Navindran,
Now matter how rich those diaspora are (although I do not think janitory work could bring you fortunes ) , do you know how much land they own collectively ?
For example Sri Lankans own an island ( 65610 sqkm ) in the Indian ocean in the planet earth..
what are you ?
Have a look at this for a proof
Moshe,
Its common to blame another one or mock at them over handsets. But apart from that there is no such political thing IMO. There can be, if the war is end. Forces and their units can be distracted since the main goal is achieved. But not at this moment. Still the enemy is there and the only objective is to destroy them.
The people who are trying to make this kind of divisions are named as P....yos in the Army. I hope DW will not fall into that and provide an unbiased view of the war without heavily depending on the dialogues over talking sets.
Poor Navindran.....
Always baking at the wrong tree for the wrong reason.
All tamils are not LTTE. Ananda Krishnan is a Buddhist. Google for your background check man (if you dont know) before you do your rubbish posting.
pin
Agreed with you bro . unfortunately we get to know the internal politics of the forces . The Army is no different from any work place office politics abound . now more than ever cus it is a time heros are made and careers are crushed . DW and others should refrain from inter division and inter forces politics in the media . it is none of our business any way .
By the way your bro is a hero and may he be safe
pin,
DW is not one of them. some ponnayas did try it then got banned from entering SLA camps for ever!!!
what DW did was an objective analysis WITHOUT ANY political/divisionary bluff.
My brother joined the Army to stop killing Tamils.
His objective is to kill the Tamil Killer Prabhakaran!
come to think of it, what's the point in having so much money without having a place to call home on earth.
tamils who embrace sri lanka, canada or anyother tangible land are safe. but those who embraced tamil elam are in shit.
its like fertility.
even some poor ppl have kids but some rich guys are impotent and infertile.
LTTE MERCILESSLY fcuked the tamil race REPEATEDLY using all the suthras in KS hoping for the tamil elam offspring, but, since LTTE was infertile, nothing happened.
very soon it will be castrated ((c)OAOA) and will become impotent.
then tamil elamists should either leave the mule and embrace potent SL or suffer permanantly with the impotent TE mule with unaccomplished desires and die miserably.
Nine lorries will take a consignment of local food produces including dried fish, onions, beetroot and prawns to South Sri Lanka Thursday through A9 land route. This measure is being taken to increase marketing opportunities for the local products.

Bugger! Terrorists are in deep dodo in Wanni while Jaffna people are re-establishing commercial ties with the rest of the country.
Cheers!
AK is a nice guy and we know him very well.Not a friend of the tigers.
@PIN,
Whatever said about div 58 or 59 they are true heroes. If this kind temp setback happened at the beginning of this war many would say that kinds of things are unavoidable when you fight with a group like LTTP. But bcoz our forces fought so well in the beginning LTP had no chance. If some one thinks that this war would be a walk in the park, the mistake is with that person, not with the forces. This is the most critical time and we all should be united in backing our heroes.

Sri Lanka needs our help. We can help her in two ways.. We have our loved ones in Sri Lanka. If each family outside Sri Lanka were to send $1000.00 per year at least to their loved ones in Sri Lanka, we would help our loved ones as well as Sri Lanka to the tune of 1 billion dollars assuming 1 million Sri Lankan families outside of Sri Lanka. It is time to help our Mother Land. I have already sent $23,000.00 during the last 3 years to build a house in Sri Lanka. I hope others will help.

now 35 sq km with capturing Puthu hospital. Air crft tyres, engine spare parts found buried from the area.
- News alert-
LTTE is restricted to less than 35 km2 now. Major battles expected in coming days. 58 with TF 8 is having a feast out there. We will see many hero's been decorated with "USP" for their bravery in the battle front.
It's very unfortunate that some bloggers started criticizing the SLA Divisions and Div commanders purely based on what DW reported. Some call it a set back but many call it a major victory, becoz our guys managed to kill the so called Black Tigers like rats.
Fighting is on, in an open area now, as we all know. Any offensive will end in a debacle for the LTTE. They cant even think of matching with SLA Fire Power.
Desperation unlimited
The Hindu
March 12, 2009
"The suicide bombing — which killed 15 civilians and injured 45 others, including a Minister of the Mahinda Rajapaksa government — outside a mosque at Akurassa in the Matara district of Sri Lanka’s Southern Province is yet another act of desperation by a terrorist outfit fighting for its life. Cornered by the Sri Lanka military in an area of about 45 square kilometres in the Mullaithivu district in the North, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam is demonstrating afresh that there is no question of its changing its stripes. On the night of February 20, Colombo witnessed the bizarre spectacle of two LTTE light wing aircraft, on a mission to crash land on the Air Force Headquarters and air base at Katunayake, being shot down. The government, anticipating such acts of excitative terrorism from the Tigers, has repeatedly warned the public to be vigilant. The mosque in the Deep South turned out to be a soft target because the possibility of the LTTE striking so far away from its bases was considered low.
The Sri Lankan government has been quick to acknowledge the security lapses that led to the Matara carnage. It has announced special security guidelines to be followed for events that involve the participation of VVIPs in any part of the country. The Tigers are engaged in acts of wanton death and destruction even as they face elimination as a conventional military force. The Sri Lankan army’s advance into the last remaining sliver of territory under the LTTE’s control has been delayed entirely due to the presence of a large number of civilians the LTTE is holding as a human shield. The estimates of innocent people trapped in the war zone vary from 70,000 to 150,000, with nobody being confident about the numbers. The Rajapaksa administration is faced with an unusual challenge. First and foremost, it needs to ensure the safe passage of Tamil civilians caught in the crossfire. With reports coming in of a severe shortage of food and other supplies, the government needs to act fast and with foresight, especially considering the suicidal tendency that seems to have gripped a beleaguered LTTE leadership. The government and the armed forces have so far shown admirable restraint in the face of serious provocation. It is indeed a testing time for the Sri Lankan state, which needs all the help it can get to protect the lives and welfare of innocent citizens. Meanwhile, while justly registering concern over the fate of Tamil civilians, the rest of the world must avoid any tendency morally or politically to equate the two combatants — a legitimate government and a Pol Potist organisation that is committed to separatism and is a past master in the arts of terrorism. "

No comments Bro. ;)
kKk,
තෝ මොකද ජාතිවාදී ප්රකාශ නිකුත් කරන්නෙ?
how come you have only one mile left?
Undugowwoda?
kKk = Tobacco Race = Asithri Killer
What's your next handle?
hiru,
Mee pasana tiyala lu tiyenne. So they cant live for too long.
kKk,
My blogger id has very little or no resemblance to myself.
If you are desperate to know the meaning of the word 'Last Mile' do a Google search.
You seems quite intelligent like an ugly dark one in your earlier post.
DW seems to be deleting some of the comments adverse to its point of view as some of my posts have been vanished.
No matter what you try to say on your unbiaseness, you have amply proven to most of us that you have animosity against commander of 58.
May be Shavendra is a junior officer that you try to cast aspertions or the other commanders (we salute their work too)are your friends?
we don't want your personal preference. what matters is the results on board and 53,55 were held 5 years in Muhamalai/Nagarkovil and it was only after 58th captured EP, they were able to set their foot in Wanni. We will not forget that DW.
you may tell that you talk on merit, but it's not your words but your behaviour that matters which depicts double standards in attacking a single division.
Guys,
Hope you guys saw this video.
Beauty Of Our Mother Lanka
How Proud We Should Be
friends, read this. contrarary to DW efforts, shavendra riding high both in the battle front and in the public opinion.
http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2009/03/brigadier-silva-but-for-civilians-we.html
the way he is heading, he's most likely the commander of SLA may be in next 05 years. DW may despise this future possibility.that's why it's a concentrated single attack on this proven hero.
It's very unfortunate that some bloggers started criticizing the SLA Divisions and Div commanders purely based on what DW reported.
I agree machan, Its a shame.
SLA has been performing near miracles up to now. To Err once in a while is human. its easy for us the criticize sitting comfortably behind a keyboard in an a/c room.
We have a thing or two to learn about real patriotism from other countries.
Ladies,
Who said hospital has taken? Is that only for few minutes !!!....
Calling 110 for an ambulance...
DW and Chena lot are doing some cloud hopping...
Hello,
According to Buddhism, What will happen to the SLA and LTTP after they die. will they be reincarnated as warthogs or donkeys??? i mean they killed people .. so will happen to them??
dandulena,
mate, can we not discuss these PETTY issues???
from the homeguard to the CIC virtually all involved are our heroes.
by discussing these petty issues, we are giving importance to them.
DW made an objective analysis and expressed HIS opinion. it may be wrong.
lets respect others' opinion and move on.
from 2006 to now there was no problem. lets not create any problem now when we are in the MOST crucial phase. please drop the matter. i hope DW will also not carry forward this issue.
Puran bro,
heard about yesterday's incident?
Mahen punde,
bullshitting again....

Moshe,
you are right and I wanted to point out that it was a concentrated effort by DW in its objective analysis. May be that analysis lacked fairness and that's why most people objected here.
Acordingly, we'll drop the matter and as you said, will hope DW will also not carry forward petty single out attack on one division in the future.
cheers!

Are you a Buddhist?
do i have to be a Buddhist to ask that question?
Chandana punde, This is a defence blog. If you want to know about a religion go to blog where such matters relating to Buddhism is discussed and ask.
Last Mile said to KKK,
You seems quite intelligent like an ugly dark one in your earlier post.
Bro, last mile that is not a nice way to explain something to fellow patriot.
KKK,
Mate, I think last mile came from one mile to Kilinochchi
It became famous with Peter counting everyday one mile, one mile and one mile……..
Patriots,
Shall we exchange our views without fighting for a change, please!
chandana,
No you don't have to be a Buddhist to ask questions.
I just wanted to explain the answer to your first question in a way you could comprehend!
Puran Macho,

chandana,
According to Buddhist principles SL Army soldiers would be born as deities or humans (most likely case). And LTTP members would be born as animals or demons or poltergeists.
My answer is based on the priciple
"චේතනාව කර්මය වේ"/ Intentions be the Karma.
SL Army's intention of killing is to save innocent people where as LTTP members intend to kill Sinhalese and build a Tamil kingdom.
I am a Catholic. I am sure that whoever sacrifice their lives for others like our soldiers do go to heaven. Didn't Jesus sacrifice his life for others?
Killing an enemy like LTTE is to safegurd many from suffering, the soldier do not kill for personal gain. Only in brainwashed people like al-Quida fighters and LTTE fighters that they belive they go to heaven.
Killing a soldier or inncocent tamils, muslims and sinhalese will ensure them a place in hell.
Re-read the poem Pin posted today (copied below) . Have to be very manly to not to shed a tear for our soldiers.
worth copying it to all patiorts in the address book.
-------------------------
The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
'Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you ?
Have you always turned the other cheek ?
To My Church have you been true?'
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
'No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here..
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
'Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell.'
Ian bro,
[I am a Catholic. I am sure that whoever sacrifice their lives for others like our soldiers do go to heaven. Didn't Jesus sacrifice his life for others?]
Im a cotholic too.. and ur poem made tears on my eyes
Thanks
Credit should go to Pin. he posted it earlier. I too choked reading it.
Did anyone notice?
Why is the picture on the right doctored?
Can anyone offer an explanation?
Thanks.
The pic is a result of a VERY BAD photoshop job.
Wonder why it had to be photoshopped in the first place.
Exactly my point Doctor...why is it..err..doctored?
Wise men say "Propaganda is an essential part of the war"!
Last Mile,
In July last year I sent an essay/report to the Hon. Secretary of Defence on the subject of propaganda. The report is too long to publish here and would bore some of you to a coma. So I just copy and paste the opening paragraphs.
--------------------------------
Conflict in Sri Lanka
Winning the Propaganda War – by Pukka Lanka
- Enlightening the hearts and minds of the International community
Why am I writing this?
Sri Lanka is guilty of not taking the propaganda war seriously enough in the past. We have been passive in promoting the truth, complacent about countering false accusations, laid back or plainly incompetent to put forward clever and true arguments to expose the enemy’s lies. As a result the active promotion of lies has prevailed for too long.
However, there are encouraging signs of this changing. There is an impetus by the SL authorities to step out and take propaganda seriously. I would like to contribute my thoughts and suggestions as I appreciate the value of getting the propaganda war work for us.
----------------------------------
If you (or anyone esle) want the full report, please email me and I will send it. Email address is in my blogger profile.
Pakka-Lanka,
Did you get any response from SD? Are you sure he wasn't bored reading the lengthy email? ;-)
Last Mile,
But LTTP can argue the same way right? they are protecting the Tamils from incidents like 1983, and therefore they will be humans or deities ??
my second question is can anyone explain why did LTTP chose mahinda instead of Ranil???
Most people accuse Ranil was supporting the LTTP, but if that is the case why did they prevent him from coming to power??
They must have got bored...ha...ha...I never got a response. You can only take the horse to the water. Perhaps the horse took a few sips at least.
No cyber funeral for Thamilenthi?
Patriots,
Who is going to die on the internet today?
Puran/Duzz,
Any truth about SF (or Commando) unit hunted down Two senior leaders yesterday and 4 of their security details? ( I withheld the names as it came as an rumour to me but from a trusted source).
Single,
If you mean Pottu killed on his way to Thamilenthi's funeral and Col. Theepan killed while searching for Col. Lawrences's body, then the answer is yes.
What you heard is correct. I got the radio communication. I am sure some Bandas would have intercepted it as well; so, I am making the information public.
Another good post at Puligal blog.
Why don't patriots buy a copy of 'PhotoShop for Dummies' for the Journal of Truth?

Chandana :
my second question is can anyone explain why did LTTP chose mahinda instead of Ranil???
this will answer your question.
the article published in 2005 by Mr Mylvaganam, and he had died recently in vanni.
Who will win?
Some say that this is the million dollar question. But, for us Tamils, it is not worth even a cent. Because we know history ? `History is our Guide.` It has taught us that changing the bulls of a cart is not going to affect the direction of the cart. The SLFP and the UNP, as far as the Tamils are concerned, are two bulls on the same cart. Both the bulls have gone in the same direction since 1948, one after the other. We are nearing six decades seeing the same old story repeated over and over again.
It was some years ago that we got fooled by the promises given and extended our support to one party or the other. When we got cheated by one, we jumped to the other party that promised us the moon. Now we have come to a stage where we cannot be fooled any longer. First we begged for fifty-fifty, then we asked for Federalism and now we demand a separate state. Now both the bulls are advocating peace. The two major parties have been playing `Panthu` with us. Between the two they say `I ball, you bat` and `you ball, I bat.` And we, the `Ball,` get hit by both of them. Now we have had enough ? enough is enough.
This reminds me of a street drama (Theru Koothu) I saw recently round the corner of the road I now live in - Kilinochchi. It was election time. The one in Green says I will kill 1000 Tamils. The crowd in sarong and Kondai with a comb stuck on it shouts `Jeyaweva` and the one in green is placed on a chair and he is crowned. He sends his troops and the Dhoti-clad people get beaten up. The next election comes up. A lady in blue says I will kill 2000 Tamils. The `sarongs` shout `Jeyaweva` and the lady get seated in the chair and the crown is placed on her head. The troops were sent in and the Dhotis get beaten up again. But suddenly something interesting happens. Some of the young ones in Dhoti pull off their dhotis to see that they were wearing striped uniforms inside their dhotis. They set upon the troops and give them a severe beating and chase them away. The next election comes and both the blues and the greens say, `We are for `Peace`.`
This is where things stand now. Both parties are crying their guts out to bring peace to the island in their own ways. The P.M. says no to P-TOMS, no to the Interim Self Governing Authority (ISGA) and no to Federalism. He is for a unitary state. Still, for all that, he has the audacity to state publicly that he would talk to Mr.V. Pirapakaran. This reminds me what the Tamil National Leader said once when he was asked whether he would at the peace talks give up the demand for a separate state if a federal solution is offered. He said `If it is a separate state, then there is nothing to talk about. When we said that we are prepared for talks, the obvious inference is that we would consider an alternative solution put forward by the SL government, provided it fulfills the aspirations of the Tamil people.` The same applies to the P.M. If it is a unitary state that he is talking about then, there is nothing to talk about. At the moment we have - already - a unitary state. There is nothing new about that, so what is there to talk about? There can be no federal state in a `Unitary State.` But it is possible in a `united state.`
As to who will win entirely depends on what the President is up to. If she were to take a tough role and dump the P.M., then it is an easy walk-through for Ranil. But there are so many things happening behind the scenes. Mahinda may convince the JVP & JHU duo that he will accept the SLFP manifesto for the moment, but will adhere to the agreement after he is elected as the President. Or he may tell the President that he will go by the two agreements reached with the two parties now, but will follow the SLFP principles after the elections are over. But who is going to buy his story? The latter is most doubtful, as the President has stated very clearly that the election manifesto shall carry the SLFP principles.
Should Mahinda manage to win over the President, the JVP and the JHU, I will put my money in his till. He stands a very good chance of winning. The left block, except Wickamabahu Karunaratne, is with him. Even some of the minority parties are sure to support him for some bread crumbs thrown at them.
On the other hand, Ranil has his own unchanging UNP vote bank. The business group is behind him. Because of the Anti-Religious Conversion Bill a large number of the Christian votes will go to him. Since the government is delaying the relief to the tsunami victims and the P.M. is promising the JVP & the JHU that he would do away with the P-TOMS, their votes too will go to Ranil. The probabilities are that the Hakeem and Thondaman may also agree to support him. If the Tamils were to follow this trend, then Ranil will have a slight edge over Mahinda.
Who would or should the Tamils vote for?
A large majority of the Tamils, quite understandably of course, dislike Mahinda because of his deal with the anti-Tamil elements. Their votes are mostly going to be cast for Ranil, unless someone tells them not to do so. Who is the right party to tell them this? We have to look into the political implications of such an open utterance.
There are only two parties to whom the Tamils will listen. One is the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the other is the Tamil National Alliance (TNA). Personally, I think it is wise for the LTTE not to take sides and, from what I gather, they will not. Hence it is up to the TNA to do the job. It appears that the Ceylon Workers Congress (CWC), the Upcountry Tamils Munnani lead by Chandrasekaran and the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) may go with the UNP. If so a block support by the Tamils may seal the deal in favour of Ranil.
I beg to differ from the views of the majority of the Tamils that they should support Ranil as he is the `better` of the two evils. We have to understand one thing very clearly. Neither the UNP nor the SLFP can deliver the goods to us as they are individually incapable of doing so. Under the present system of preferential voting, no party can obtain an absolute majority with over 150 members to support them in the parliament. Even if the government proposes a suitable settlement, the opposition is sure to oppose it. We have seen this over the past half a century. A two-thirds majority is absolutely impossible. Hence, a government that is anti-Tamil and extremely Buddhist chauvinistic will be ideal for us to win our goal ? in our own way. This is the TRUE situation. In Tamil it is called `Ithuthan Yathartham.`
Hence, I would strongly suggest that the TNA should go out and inform the Tamils to `Boycott` the Presidential election. Our refraining from voting will be an indirect support to Mahinda.
I beg my readers not to misunderstand me. I am no war monger. If so, I would have stayed safely in the UK and made these comments from that safe haven. I am in Vanni and I am fully aware that my suggestion may lead to war. But I am sorry to say that the Talks are never going to bring a solution to the ethnic problems. Even if one of the two major parties from the south is sincere enough to bring peace, yet its hands are tied as it will never get that absolute majority it needs and it will never get the support of the opposition to make amendments to the constitution, even for federalism, leave alone a separate state ? Tamil Eelam.
[[Is there an alternative to war?
Yes, I think so. But, unfortunately, it is in the hands of the two major Sinhalese parties, viz the UNP and the SLFP. I do not envisage the possibility of a so called `National Government` comprising both of these parties. They are terribly incompatible in many ways and they are utterly selfish. Each one of them wants to take the credit for solving the ethnic problem. They will never pull together.
Instead I would strongly suggest that a `NATIONAL PEACE COMMITTEE` can deliver the desired results. By this I mean that a high-powered committee comprising of very moderate elements from both parties in equal numbers and a person of the calibre of Dr. Wickremabahu Karunaratne from the United Left Front (ULF) should be formed to hold Peace Talks with the LTTE. This Committee must be empowered to take decisions at the Peace Talks, accept or deny the suggestions made by the LTTE and put forward suggestions to the LTTE on behalf of the SL Government. The parties involved in the peace talks may take breaks for introspection and consultation with their superiors and experts. The decision so reached between this committee and the LTTE should be final and be presented to Parliament for formal approval. Parliament should endorse it in toto without amendments. This should be made obligatory both to the LTTE and the Government. Otherwise, there will not be an end to the talks. Of course some communal elements may raise objections vehemently, but the motto should be, `Let the Dogs Bark, but the Caravan Shall Move On.` The time has come for one to take the Bull by the Horns, if we are to avoid deaths, bloodshed,
Duzz
Good to see you again. Intercepted any radio communication lately?
Did you intercept Thamilenthi's tele-con with Diaspora to confirm that he is still alive, despite the net assassination?
troops had observed a terrorist buildup about 200m south of 55 FDL.. the group were targeted by the SLAF kFirs.
3-4 boats simultaneously tried to enter seas east of 55th. but they had to withdraw because of HMG fire from the SLA bunkers along the shore. casualties to the LTTE is unknown.
still we dont see any intervention by the arrow and SBS units on the first barricade.
peter,
sornam and pulidevan gone also. although puldevan is said to be an inside job.
bhanu is also permanently out of action with a leg blown off.
pete,
the financial head was killed. I reported that u mocked me with sarcasm.. And Lawrence is also feared dead. not confirmed. and i also reported another officer rank Ltter was also killed on the 8th. And information is coming in that he was a junior command sea tiger. U just wait..
and do i have to remind you that information is power?
http://www.army.lk/morenews.php?id=20666
Pete,
you said.. no names no identity of the LTTE commanders killed..
now eat your own words!!!
‘Lieutenant Colonel’ SALEEM,
‘Lt Colonel’ AMBALANAN
‘Lieutenant Colonel’ MARANBlack Tigers, ‘Major’ TAMIL MARAN and ‘Captain’ KATHIER NILAVAN
why doesnt LTTE try to Box in some SF commandos again..
Duzz,
‘Lieutenant Colonel’ SALEEM and ‘Lt Colonel’ AMBALANAN?
You missed out Lt. Col. Steve and Col. Jones. Did you not intercept that bit of the communication?
tamil boy
/*
my second question is can anyone explain why did LTTP chose mahinda instead of Ranil???
*/
well there are a few theories floating. TNA/LTTE got togeather over a weekend and had already decided to boycott elections. they mostly want to show Tamils have nothing to do with Sinhala nations elections. but then Ranil was prepared to give LTTE the ISGA. he had even consulted consitiutonal lawyers in UK. LTTE earlier thought ISGA -> 5 years-> referendum-> UDI. perhaps they were not aware of UNP plans. they may also thought UNP was preparing a trap.
anyways basil later comes to vanni meets low level carders with a proposition. they give karuna, rs 1 billion in few instalments hidden in a property developemtn plan. in return LTTE will stop people from boycotting. LTTE agrees mostly because they get their hands on karuna.
however after elections mahinda pulls the rug under LTTE. mahinda makes the first installment but refuses to hand over karuna. LTTE goes berserk and engineers 'civilian intifada'. LTTE was playing games all along, this time they get played out by a better player.
FYI,
A team of three Black Tigers Lt. Col. Maran, Maj. Tamilmaran and Capt. Kathirnilavan died in a commando raid.
Their names have been published on Tamil websites.
Might be cheaper to visit these sites than intercept radio communication. Your call.
Lol, don't worry, I won't intercept it.
chandana,
"But LTTP can argue the same way right? they are protecting the Tamils from incidents like 1983, and therefore they will be humans or deities ??"
Is LTTP protecting civilians? or driving them to the death?
"Thirteen Top & Middle-rung Sea & Black Tigers Confirmed Killed
2009-03-12 15:51:38
MULLAITTIVU: TOP and middle-rung Tiger terrorist leaders, now fighting tooth and nail to defend their rapidly shrinking final stronghold in PUTHUKKUDIYIRUPPU appear to be meeting with their Waterloo one by one as time was fast running for the outfit.
Latest military intelligence as well as other technical sources on Thursday (12) confirmed scores of top and middle-rung Sea Tigers and Black Tigers have perished during ground confrontations in PUTHUKKUDIYIRUPPU and surrounding areas after Tigers directed artillery fire.
LTTE Head in charge of the Financial Division, SUBARATHNAM SELVATURAI alias THAMILENDI was confirmed killed and the story was reported late night on Wednesday (11). (See Situation News Highlight on 11th March 2009) The weekend fighting in the northeast of PUTHUKKUDIYIRIPPU where over 150 dead bodies of Tiger terrorists were found has also claimed the life of the Sea Tiger leader, ‘Lieutenant Colonel’ SALEEM, the fourth in the LTTE rank hierarchy. Sea Tiger SALEEM after serious injuries on 1st March 2009 in PUTHUKKUDIYIRIPPU has reportedly succumbed to injuries on Tuesday (10).
Two more Sea Tiger leaders, ‘Lt Colonel’ AMBALANAN and ‘Lt Colonel’ ELEEL CHELVAN, dispatched by PRABHAKARAN himself for ground battles against troops, have also lost their lives in the encounters.
One more leading Black Tiger, famous for suicidal missions, identified as ‘Lieutenant Colonel’ MARAN has also fallen dead during PUTHUKUDIRIPPU fighting on Monday (9).
Fighting also has eliminated Black Tigers, ‘Major’ TAMIL MARAN and ‘Captain’ KATHIER NILAVAN during same rounds of fighting in PUTHUKUDIRIPPU.
‘Major’ MALAR SHAMAL, ‘Captain’ ELAVILAN, ‘Captain’ KALAI KADIRAVAN and ‘Captain’ KALA ENIVAN who have also taken part in the offensives against the troops have perished during those clashes, reports confirmed."
http://www.army.lk/morenews.php?id=20666
come to think of it, there is no way LTTE did not know of LTTE plans. UNP also offering bribes through jayalath etc i remmeber. LTTE knew UNP could offer federal/ISGA but did not trust them because they figured it was a trap.
chandana,
give me one solid example when LTTP has protected Tamil civilians.
I can give you many instances they have killed Tamils.
Puligal.blogspot.com has scored again.
atleast one amateur fake image exposed on defence.lk
credibility of defence.lk has gone negative from zero.
obvious example of images photoshopped.
are the sinhalese people idiots ?
so why was such an amateurish image posted ?
because ground situation is very desperate for the government. tigers have pushed back the sla to thevipuram and have retaken chalai.
for the rajapakse regime that can only mention about victory this is a monumental loss.
the regime is desperate that it will invent radio intercepts and fake news stories.
Tamil boy ... Sheesh man that was one long article.
but it doesn't make sense at all. Do you think LTTE or the Govt can settle this by military means alone?? NO
One day both sides have to sit down and come to a political solution.
knowing that why kill??
if things are so bad, it will invent the death of soosai and vp again for the 10th or 11th time.
ltte casualties according army.lk and defence.lk is greater than the tamil population on the island.
Thirteen Top & Middle-rung Sea & Black Tigers Confirmed Killed
vigilante - what invention is this ?
another complete lie by government propaganda.
it must have been the radio intercepts that killed em eh ?
upul,
ltte never mention deaths of carders less than 3 moths training i.e makkal papadum. but then, its precisely those that are perishing. they man fox holes sentry points, function as buffer in offensives etc. they are only mentioned in govt sites. that is why you get confused when you see the discrepancy.
LTTE, vesapillai & dieasspora never wanted a peaceful solution. mahinda, ranil or anybody else mattered less than shit to them.
pampered, rich with criminal money, over confident & supported by the west they just wanted to blue murder & suck white cocks all the way into peelam like a mass murdering prostitute who has no principles or scruples.
LTTE wanted to prove to dieasspora & the world that they were stronger than sldf by defeating us militarily.
LTTE PLANNED TO MILITARILY DEFEAT THE SINHALA & DECLARE EELAM UNILATERALLY WHILE SINHALA WOULD HAVE BEEN SHELL SHOCKED & REELING.
they obviously wanted to suicide attack us from air, sea & land making us helpless & cut off from the rest of the world. nothing less. we would have had no choice but to negotiate from a position of severe weakness.
if we don't understand the built up hatred tamils have against sinhala we understand nothing. we have rubbed their noses in the dirt for 2,300 years. their plan is to to the same to us. today, tomorrow & forever.
the military infrastructure which LTTE secretly built during CFA proves nothing else. i still find it amazing that we still have not realised the full implications of LTTE weapons & factories we discovered in the last few weeks.
well the LTTE plan worked. in reverse. back to square A. tobacco days.
ha ha ha!
panhinda trying to add logic to government lies....
Pankitha,
Good try. Such an explanation will be believed by people who don't have friends or family who died fighting.
A cousin of mine died in his second battle, during the first week of his duty. They are given the title 'Veeravenkai' and are included in Heroes' Day list.
Panhinda your story makes much mor sense than Tamil boy's loooooooooong story.
If it is true Supper stuff.
Last Mile... My point is If some one can kill another human being he/she is worse than an animal. be it SLA or LTTE
peter, upul,
the 3 month training blah was revealed by DBSJ. i am only the messenger.
Unconfirmed reports says,
Lawrence and Swarnam were killed. Body suspected to be of Swarnam recovered.
[One day both sides have to sit down and come to a political solution.]
I hear... "Federal federal feddy feddy fed fed fed... fed-up".
Dream on :)
When the other side is no more... then there is no need for a such an kalatipol solution.
All what we need as Sri Lankans is the development under peaceful environment.
Sorry... we cant satisfy the dream of maniacs who want to show a tiny part of a very small island in the world map saying "ahhdda it ish my country dhaa".
Pankitha,
Thanks for the clarification. David 'BS' Jeyraj is obviously correct. I heard that VP reports directly to DBS; can you confirm that?
"Tourist arrivals to Sri Lanka fell 15.7 percent in February to 34,169 with the first two months of 2009 showing a 25.5 percent fall,"
http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/fullstory.php?nid=314706011
Southern hospitality not pulling in the punters anymore?
peter,
i have no other tactful way of saying this to you. but the level of dishonesty of LTTE and its propaganda arm is quite astonishing. but i know you think i am spinning yarn because of my background. let me assure you historically, Tamil national movement have lied all along. some so obvious it astounds how people fell for it.
i am not sure if you are pretending not to know or really know. but if you honestly believe LTTE, then you will realise your folly when the dust settles. sad thing it will be too late for you.
g-night.
Veluprabhakaran,
You should be given the award for the best posting of the day!

Nice piece of writing up there...
Keep them coming.
patriots,
this is an exciting regional development as we speculated. BUT will SL be left out????
"China's Sea Lion radar can search for more than 100 targets at once and track 50 of them at the same time.
Its search range for combat aircraft appears to be around 500 to 550 kilometers (300 to 330 miles). The design requirements for both Russian and Japanese phased array radar systems are such that even if 10 percent of the elements are lost, the radar system can continue to function.
China has built only two 052C DDGs outfitted with this advanced radar system; its purpose is to test the effectiveness of the Sea Lion for future installation on Chinese aircraft carriers.
This radar system on the No. 171 DDG, currently deployed in the Gulf of Aden, makes it possible for the People's Liberation Army navy to monitor most of the airspace above Yemen, Oman and the Strait of Hormuz.
Tankers carrying crude oil from Saudi Arabia would have to go through this strait. In addition, the Fifth Fleet of the U.S. Pacific Fleet based in Bahrain, the forward headquarters of the U.S. Central Command located in Qatar, and the activities of the combat aircraft of the Saudi Arabian air force could all come under the surveillance of the Chinese Aegis radar system.
Of course, while en route to the Indian Ocean -- past the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia and through the Strait of Malacca -- the Chinese Aegis-equipped warships can conduct surveillance, including the airspace above southern India.
The activities of the air forces in the above countries and voice communication signals also may be monitored and intercepted. A number of these countries have territorial disputes with China on land or sea.
Moreover, the No. 171 and No. 169 DDGs are equipped with China's best electronic intelligence acquisition and countermeasure systems, and their antenna arrays are very similar to the electronic intelligence acquisition and support systems developed by Israel. These systems can effectively detect and acquire the radar signals of the U.S. Fifth Fleet and record the data.
Naturally, the equipment also can monitor the radar signals and frequencies of the naval warships of the countries along this route. The No. 171 DDG is equipped with the NRJ6A ESM/ESM system; according to at least one military source, this microelectronic system is imported from Israel.
Any navy ship formation requires the support of a powerful underwater outpost force and reinforced anti-submarine capability to be able to engage in effective three-dimensional warfare. The best anti-submarine measure, of course, is using submarines to undertake anti-tracking operations.
Consequently, the possibility cannot be excluded that new generation 093 SSN or other diesel-powered submarines may have played the role of underwater outpost during recent anti-piracy actions of the PLA navy in the Gulf of Aden.
Behind the curtain of the anti-piracy operations is, in fact, the rivalry of the naval forces of the major powers in establishing their new "national interest frontiers."
it pays to have a chinese navy establishment in our east coast.
Keep them coming VPrabhakaran,
Another home run!
what the tamils need is not federal laws but somebody kicking their sick butts hard into their brains & teaching how to be human first.
the biggest danger is a couple of low flying kamikaze aircraft attacking the nuclear reactors in south india.
come to think of it the biggest danger is low flying kamikaze aircraft attacking nuclear reactors anywhere in the world. could lead to a melt down or mass radiation poisoning.
Moshe Dyan,
a very interesting article. the indians as well as the west knows what's coming in the future.
chinese super power. i think they will leave india trailing behind. unlike india they will be a real super power. but china will take a long time to catch up with the west & USA. specially in technical prowess.
but catch up they will. their planned aircraft carriers & naval expansions are very ambitious. so the hambantota port investment cannot be a coincidence.
even the russians are planning a couple of aircraft cariers with modified SU 33 fighters. so the eastern power bloc is fast flexing their muscles.
"come to think of it the biggest danger is low flying kamikaze aircraft attacking nuclear reactors anywhere in the world. could lead to a melt down or mass radiation poisoning."
At least in the west reactors are built to handle this. Reactors will also never explode like a nuclear bomb. Worst case scenario with a very poor design is something like Chernobyl. Attacking a big power dam could kill many more people.
infinity,
never underestimate the will/madness of terrorists. always remember how close they came to destroying the pentagon. the so called most impregnable fortress.
they could do a diversionary air attack & take over a reactor for example.
what would the implications be then ?
Thank you for your job.
defence.lk does not tell truth always.mad sri lankan looks defence.lk.

Could still not explode the reactor itself and the uranium used in oridnary reactors is not enrichened enough to build a nuclear bomb. Very difficult to enrichen uranium enough why is why even a nation state like Iran is having trouble doing it. So worst case scenario is, if a poor design allows this, causing something like Chernobyl or creating a "dirty bomb", that is using ordinary explosives to spread uranium dust over an area which will contaminate it but by itself will not cause more destruction than from the conventional explosives.
wake up defencewire
