Prabhakaran's fate decided after Lok Sabha Polls

We have been receiving highly credible information regards the slow pace of the current military offensive, which has nothing to do with a Cease-fire forced on Sri Lanka by the West or a rethinking of the military option.

DefenceWire can confirm, not a forceful threat, but a humble request by the Indians has been made to temporarily postpone the very last phase of the offensive against the Tiger leadership, trapped north of Vattuvaan. The temporary 'banning' of the use of heavy weapons was a symbolic gesture of this 'understanding' between the Sri Lankans and the Indians.

The temporary halting of a planned Special Operation to capture/kill Prabhakaran has been put in the back burner until the elections in India come to an end on the 14th. All naval assets have been pulled into prevent Prabhakaran's escape by sea and the elite units, Offensive Divisions and the entire government is biting their time for the opportune moment.

We have been told that the period AFTER the Indian elections, where a few weeks will lapse due to counting of ballots, negotiations between parties and formation of a government was being considered to be that opportune moment.

The top-level Indian delegation that visited Sri Lanka recently, and direct contacts between Colombo and New Delhi have ensured that the two states are fully engaged in honoring this agreement. Military sources confirming instructions from the political leadership claimed that as soon as the ballots are in the box and the point of no return reached in the elections, the special operation could commence in earnest.

The ruling party in India has made its claim that the potential capture, death or mutilation of Prabhakaran before the election could have a devastating effect on its election campaign. The government of Sri Lanka has been generous in accepting that stance so far.

Political observers we contacted said that in many ways, this was the best strategy for now. Sources claimed the political leadership was more concerned with honouring the 'understanding' with the Indians than following edicts from the West.

That is an interesting strategy .

Are they banking on a particular party winning ?

Lakmini said...

I believe you predicted this a while back as well....

Defencewire said...

Ali,

From what we have heard, this is a gesture of solidarity with the Government of India, not a particular ruling party, though what you say maybe a definite consideration. But it lays a good precedence for future relationships with any new party ruling India, who may look at Sri Lanka as an ally who was willing to hold back, when it really didn't have to, to help their Indian counterparts.

Sam Perera said...

DefenceWire,

I believe that this is NOT a good strategy, specially holding for more than two weeks after 14th. The more we hold, the more we give chances for Prbakaran to escape. Also, we don't know what is going to happen after the election. If the elected ruling coalition is going to be dictated by TN lunatic fringe, then I must say that we are SOL.

In fact, we should take the fat pig out ASAP and keep it under wraps or just deny it till the dust settles.
Further more, more of my dear brothers are going to pay the ultimate price for this lunacy. That is not something acceptable to me as a citizen of Sri Lanka.

Let eloquently put, this is dip schitt.

Unknown said...

DW, does it mean that we need to wait for another 08 - 10 days?

We should not allow VP run escape by any means or ways..!!

Roughly, how long will it take to take over the balance 06KM2 once the operation commences?

Hate these 'Allpu Rate' clang..!!

Dw,

I would have prefered if you did not share this information with us. This is political strategy which could be used by diaspora to intensify their demos coinsiding with this period. Since this news is still young you can always take it off.

We can discuss all these later.

Sam Perera said...

BP,

I say that it is good that DW shared this information with us. In that way we can tell our government loud and clear of how we feel about this not so appropriate step. The more we wait, the more we loose. This is sheer lunacy.

truthseeker said...

stupid strategy.
You have never reached this stage for the last 30 years. And you are going to give away this opportunity by giving more time to puligal to make all kinds of noise and escape?

While it is nothing wrong in waiting for another 1 week. But if you can finish it today, why waste time?

One week is a long time in war.

Gringo said...

This a good move, and very advantageous for the Sri Lankans in the long run. Injuns have finally shown some respect to the Sri Lankans. It’s mutual.

(After all, peace has already dawned. What else we are looking for?)

Smoking out and killing any criminal or a terrorist are the routine responsibility and duty of armed forces in any country. We need not worry about that.

Our next item on the agenda is to roll up their sleeves and embark on the 'REAL' war and fight the poverty, lack of housing, lack of healthcare and lack of education among some of our brothers and sisters in this sacred and resourceful country.

But hey... don't forget to keep some time, company and funds to celebrate the killing of the last of Tamil terrorist. That’s once in a lifetime celebration, which MUST INSULT the already injured TTWORMs (Tamil Terrorist WORldwide Membership)!

Sam Perera said...

Gringo,

"(After all, peace has already dawned. What else we are looking for?)"

Not yet buddy. This cancer has some uncanny ability to bounce back. It is imperative that we eliminate this cancer for ever.

phaedrus said...

The strategy is fine given that the vacuum between the close of elections and the effect of the result is enough for the army to finish this operation.

But DW has been quoted in defence.lk and Ada derana, etc. This news is likely to spread like wildfire and might negate most of the benefit the indian government is likely to get from this. Not sure it's a smart decision to publish here.

Gringo said...

Sam bro...

The time, resources and power are on our side. What can the Tamil terrorists do now? A killing here... explosion there is hardly going to reinstate their bite. That’s the bigger picture.

After all, every passing day Tamil terrorists lose their ground as well as resources.

Reading between the lines… I think behind the (military) scene vigorous political activity is going on… to make sure THERE WILL NEVER AGAIN BE ROOM TO PLAY THE GAME CALLED 'TAMIL CAUSE' on our soil.

Amaris said...

Let's hope and pray that you are correct!

Spearhead said...

oh, ok. we wait till elections are over...
Are the civilians suddenly going to magically disappear and reveal fat pig or what?

or does this mean the SLA knows and has decided EXACTLY what the strategy is, and are just waiting till 5/14? and then just DO it?

I still don't understand what exactly IS being postponed? what specific action/strategy? just wipe them all out?

CASC said...

This is a wise decision. It shows the government's sophisticated response to the international reaction. I have been following the Indian media including the major TV channels and Sri lanka seems to have disappeared from the headlines.

The lunatic fringe affiliated with the LTTE in the TN electorate was counting on "genocide" to make their mark (see Vaiko's website). Now they have to resort to attacking Indian army convoys in TN to attact attention to their cause. This will show the rest of the population in that country that these people are lunatics. Even the major parties in India that at one time were capitalizing on the misery of Tamils to promote their electoral chances have started condemning the lunatic fringe. Even if the army advances 100 meters a day this war will be over in a month or two.

Sam Perera said...

Gringo,

I most certainly agree with the political side. However, LTTE is a murderous and vicious cult lead by Prabakaran. The cult members give their oath every day that Prabakaran is their leader, mama, papa, grandpa, gandma, the messiah, the savior, the creator, the destroyer (certainly), the life giver, and the god. The cult will dissolve as soon as we take the cult leader out. Anything short of that and resting on our laurels is sheer stupidity, specially when we see the end just a few battles away. I for sure will never forgive our government if they loose this opportunity.

sldf said...

"this is a gesture of solidarity with the Government of India"

Well Said. The Indians have helped us when we needed friends.

But sadly for the LTTE leadership. It's too late. There will be nothing left at the end of Indian elections.

What can the LTTE and their supporters do to change the final outcome within 10 days that they couldn't do in 30yrs?

Unknown said...

This may be a ploy to make Tigers let their guard down. They do not expect any attack now and that is good.

The beauty of the thing is that you can still implement the special plan but not publish that you have done so. The result can also be proclaimed aftre elections.

It also gives a kick to the Westerners that we don't care for them but we do so fo India. Such a message is good too.

Sri Lankan said...

I DONT THINK THIS IS GOOD STRATEGY BUT I GUESS THERE IS NO OPTION FOR THE GVT.

OP1. GO ALL OUT NOW AND CATCH THE TERROR LEADER HIDING BEHIND CIVILIANS AND NOT RISK HIM RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE AND NOT TAKING A CHANCE WITH THE ELECTIONS

OP2. WAIT AND SEE IF BJP REMAINS IN POWER AND THEN HOPE THE TERROR LEADER IS STILL AROUND AND TRY TO CATCH HIM

Gringo said...

Sam,

I understand your frustration... but this is the time to use ‘brain’ power. Sri Lanka is being watched by many foreign vultures with multiple interests... The motives probably will never be known to us, so we need to have that ‘vision’ in order to safeguard.

We have to play our cards very carefully now, if we are to come out winning. India is a 'factor' that is written on the birth certificate of Motherlanka, no matter which way we look at... but we surely don't have to feel inferior or superior in dealing with her. Long term benefits outweigh short-term gains.

Cheers!

SRI LANKA SHOULD NEVER FORGET THAT INDIA ARE THE ONES THAT PUT US IN THIS SITUATION..

WHO GAVE UNIFORMS, ARMS, TRAINING TO LTTE. PRABA WAS A PUPPET OF THE INDIANS TO DESTABILIZE SRI LANKA. INDIA SHOULD NOT NEED TO INTERVENE AT ALL.

PICKING OP1 WHICH I MENTIONED AT 9.35 IS PRUDENT.

NO LTTE, NO PRABA (WE CAN CATCH HIM AND DENY IF AT ALL) AND NO WAR :)

IF WE LET GO OF THIS MOMENT WE ARE DONE FOR..

THERE IS A REUMOR THAT THE SLA IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE MOVE.. THEY ARE FELT LET DOWN WITH THE FINISH JUST AROUND THE CORNER...

WE DONT WANT TO BE THE RABBIT WHO SLEPT WHILE THE TURTLE MADE USE OF IT...

I THINK WE NEED TO CATCH PRABA AND KEEP HIM UNDER WRAPS FOR 3 WEEKS... AND NOT TAKE A CHANCE....

BJP WILL NOT COME TO SRI LANKAS RESCUE IF WE FAIL.... THEY WILL ONLY WANT WHATS GOOD FOR THEM..

Gringo said...

... in the meantime let's use our resources, imagination (daydreams... he he he) and creativity to invent more methods to divide potential Tamil separatists and extremists.

They are sure to arrive... and we have to ensure the internal fires are lit.

What happens with the new Government demands a ceasefire ? The only solution to that would be before they could settle down to complete the operations. In the meantime LRRP should take out identified targets. I am sure hiding amongst 50K civilians is not that hard.

ONLY THING IS THEY THEMSELVES DONT WANT AN EELAM... THEY DONT MIND IT IN SRI LANKA BUT NOT IN INDIA....

SO THE ONLY HELP WE GOT IS FROM GOD ABOVE WHEN HE MADE EELAM A COMMONLY REPULSED IDEA FOR INDIA AND SRI LANKA...

I SAY MR SHOULD HAVE NOT BEEN SO OVER CONFIDENT AT THIS TIME....

HOWEVER I BELIEVE THERE ARE OPERATIONS GOING ON WHICH IS CONTRARY TO WHAT IS MENTIONED...

I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE ARMY WAS DISGUSTED WHEN THEIR HUMANTARIAN OPS WERE LIMITED A WEEK OR TWO AGO AND ASKED TO SLOWLY CATCH PRABA..

We have to look far... (now don't someone tell me that this was something that was told when a dad was teaching his kid how to ride the bike!)

And the end of the day the diplomacy and tact win. Winning against a bunch of cowardly Tamil terrorists alone is not enough. We must show our calibre to India and the West as well

wijayapala said...

Spearhead & Mist,

I think you might have misunderstood the essence of this strategy, assuming that DW is correct. It won't make any difference whatsoever whether this strategy is kept secret or made public. With combat operations slowing down, the Eelamoids in TN (and elsewhere) will have less crocodile tears to shed for the remaining civilians. AFTER the election, there will be nothing that they can do to shift the Indian government into intervening.

It is not the "secret" strategies that win wars. Rather, it is the strategies which are plain in sight for everyone to see, **but which the enemy can do nothing about** which win wars.

Spearhead said...

OK.. I hope you guys are right...just didn't want TamilNut going bonkers with this on their page.

You didn't answer my question in the previous thread about China. Are you only interested in answering Schizo Sam the Armchair Warlord??

It is true that the govt underestimated the total number of IDPs, but do you really think that the govt had the financial resources to have made better preparations?

Anonymous said...

/INDIA HAS ITS OWN AGENDA.... TELL ONE THING INDIA HAS DONE TO HELP SRI LANKA../

Of course every country has their own agenda. Do you think if India really don't want SL to fight the war are they unable to stop us? The truth is India has helped SL in many ways to finish this war. This is even with the huge preasure from critical TN jokers vote base. Their help ranges from mid seas, skies above the peelaam and training programs. And helpin economic means as well. India was firmly behind SL among the IC; India is our first line of defence against any wetsern threat. It is India who absorbed the IC preasure. These things are not visibale to public.

Due to human shield any way SLA is not in a position to use long range guns as they like or call air strikes from jets. So halting them is not a big deal at this time. GSL gave some publicity. But no problem to most impoertent SF/CR infiltrations.

Sri Lankan said...

GRINGO,

YOUR FORGETTING THE VERY ESSENCE OF WINNING. ITS TO THINK STRAIGHT.

1. TELL ME HOW INDIA WILL WANT TO HELP?

2. DO U THINK THEY WILL SACRIFICE ANYTHING FOR US?

3. DO YOU THINK BJP IS TRYING TO WIN THE ELECTIONS SO THEY CAN HELP US?

4. DONT YOU THINK THAT IF WE WERE DEPENDING ON INDIANS TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS WE WILL STILL BE IN NORWAY?

5. DONT YOU THINK THAT IF WE WERE TO THINK FAR WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR THE NEXT STEP AHEAD OR WE MIGHT LOOK FAR AND FALL IN THE NEXT STEP? SO I HOPE YOUR THOUGHTS WILL BE BETTER FOCUSED NEXT

IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT SLA FINISHES IT AND NOT RELEASE ANY INFO. ITS EASIER TO FINISH THINGS NOW AND HELP OURSELVES THAN AGAIN HAVING TO GAMBLE.

IN CASE YOU GUYS ARE NOT WATCHING NEWS I HOPE U NOTE THAT BJP IS NOT DOING TOO WELL AND WILL NEED TN SUPPORT SO WHAT EVER HAPPENS TN WILL BE CONTROLLING THE GVT.

LISTEN MATE, DONT FORGET THAT INDIA HAS NOT HELPED US. THEY HAVE MERELY KEPT OUT. WHICH IS A HELP :) BUT APART FROM THAT INDIA CANT DICTATE TERMS TO US ANYMORE COS

1. WE HAVE SUPPORT FROM CHINA, PAKISTAN IF NOT

2. THEY ALSO FEAR A A GREATER EELAM

3. THEY WANT TO BUY THE TN VOTES SO THEY KNOW THAT TN HAS ITS HEART WITH LTTE SO EVERY TIME INDIAN GVT. WANTS TO GET SOME SYMPATHY VOTES THEY WILL APPLY THE PRESSURE ON US THUS AGAIN DESTABILIZING US.

SO MATE, THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.

BEST DEFENCE IS OFFENCE. WE SAW HOW IT HELPED US TO COME THIS FAR. IF WE GO ON THE DEFENCE NOW WE ARE GONNA REGRET.

I HOPE THE ARMY WILL CONTINUE TO MARCH. I BELIEVE SF & OUR BRAVE COs etc WILL NOT TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED. WE ARE ABOUT TO FOCUS ON THE KMAT AND WALLMART JUNCTIONS I HAVE BEEN INFORMED. WE WILL NEED TO FOCUS ON CAPTURING THESE TWO AND LAUNCHING AMPHIBIOUS MISSIONS TO BANK OUT TROOPS ON THE WESTERN LAGOON.

HOPES OF CATCHING PRABA OR HIS PIGLETS OR OTHER ANIMALS ARE REMOTE.

MOST LIKELY 10 - LEAST LIKELY 0

5 - CATCHING OR FINDING THE BODIES OF, LAWRENCE, SWARNAM, BHANU AND A FEW OTHERS

10 - CATCHING OR FINDING A FEW HIGH PROFILES NAMES BUT UNLIKELY TO CATCH FAT PIGS LIKE POTTUS, NADESAN etc.

1 - CATCHING FAT PIG AND HIS PIG FAMILY THAT CHEATED THE TAMIL PPL, CATCHING POTTU etc.

WE ARE MOST LIKELY TO NOT HAVE A PROPER END. THIS MIGHT CONTINUE TO HAUNT US.

ONLY WAY TO MINIMIZE CASUALTIES AND FURTHER LIFE LINE TO THE LTTE IS TO CLOSE IN NOW AND TO MAXIMIZE ANY SLIM CHANCE OF CATCHING SOME FAT PIGS LIKE BHANU< LAWRENCE< NADESAN< FAT PIGS SERVANTS etc.

Nilupul said...

DW said “What can the LTTE and their supporters do to change the final outcome within 10 days that they couldn't do in 30yrs?”Not true my friend, all what LTTE and it’s sympathizers what is, buy time, escape and fight another day. 10 days is quite enough to turn 2 years of hard work to zero.

By the way, why would some body believe in Indians at this junction, because LTTE is Indian brainchild and obviously it doesn’t want it to be wasted. As matter of fact how could SL trust that no element attached to India or other would do their best to put a life line to VP during this time and at the end of the day what if he escapes, will India be held responsible for that?

The Government, knowing in advance such camps were a necessity, should have made the money available or should have, and this is my preference, left the care, housing, feeding, costs and administration to foreign concerns and Governments, while maintaining the security needs themselves.

Start the West on a path of "put up or shut up" and keep the military focused on the job at hand.

The same with food supplies to the NFZ. The GoSL were not sending enough as their estimates were wildly wrong and why should we have faith in present estimates?

Letting donor nations supply and send food via the ICRC would have left any hunger/starvation issues on their doorstep instead of them becoming a tool for LTTE propagandists... same as with the IDP camps.

Keep the do-gooders busy and placate certain elements who would otherwise be using the problems we see now against the GoSL.


As for answering your question to me elsewhere... I mention to you that my posts are not always allowed by some moderators here and at both Ellalan and Puligal.

Perhaps I can muster up an acceptable (here) reply for you in regards to my assertion that China is not to be trusted.

I repeat again that they are no real friend to any true democracy... I direct you to their actions in Tibet as a good place to start.

Friends

The note said till the ballots are in the box, before the counting of votes begins, Brigadier Prasanna Silva has moved to the southern tip, the NFZ has been moved south to an area of 3 Square Kilometers, and we keep pushing from the north, slowly, but the fact is the main attack front is going to slowly after the 14th be the 59th, with all LTTE artillery turned toward the Northern front, they absolutely will not know what to expect, while by sea we know the Navy has hyped up his patrol,hopefully the air force is also vigilant after finding out Prabha has another air craft.About the move by the government, sumtimes in evrything u do u need to have a gud man, bad man face, sort of Dr. Jeykle and Mr. Hyde approach, so now the government is playing it smart, but inside is preparing to surprise the enemy, smart ploy..

In a statement issued by the British High Commission ( Colombo , Sri Lanka ) yesterday (May 6, 2009) the visiting group of British Parliamentarians led by Des Browne MP said:

·“We saw the considerable efforts the Government is making to accommodate and assist IDPs who have left the conflict zone.

·“We spoke to a number of people in the camps who expressed their genuine relief at having escaped the LTTE and reached a place of safety.

·“It is clear that IDPs in camps are much better off than their friends and relatives who remain in the conflict zone,”

Assuming DW got the information is right, I'd say don't listen to anyone at this stage. Keep going forward as planned.

India created this problem, put fertilizer and water and grew it bigger. Now asking to keep things on hold until the election passes. Who wants to believe or honer this request?

The best interest of Sri Lanka is go get rid of this guy and keep things under the table until the elections are over.

It is very dangerous to our troops and their moral to halt the momentum.

Get the big fat pig and tell the world he escaped.

How come most of the Captured LTTE arms are made in China......

Even though we blame UK,France & US Non of those weapons were captured.............../**

$$/Blogger Miss Information said...

Because China is happy to arm insurgencies any place where they think it is in their interest.

Look up and reasearch Norinco.


China is the lurking danger to Sri Lanka, not the U.S. or even India. Beware the Chinese tentacles of subtle exploitation... they are no friends of any true democracy./$$

There are/ were many internal conflicts in the region. (Afghanistan, Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Philippines, Republic of the Congo, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Somalia, North Korea, etc).

And China provide arms to both the governments and insurgent groups depending on their interest. And there are corrupted officials in those governments and insurgents any way sell arms for money. Its easy for LTTE to buy such arms from black market and smuggle via Indonesia/ Thailand.

This is how LTTE get Chinese made arms. (This is some thing well known to every one except babies.)

So what are we going to do now? Ask China to stop providing arms to any one except SL..? heh..

# LTTE get more sophisticated arms via INGOs (communication eqipment etc) plus diplomatic and propaganda help from west.

One of these days when take off the thong of your girl friend you will find 'made in China' on her fanny.

We buy weapons directly from China. LTTE buys black market [double the price] from Diaspora money which by the way coming from US, Canada and UK.

There is a degree of over estimation of Prabakaran's importance. There was similar over estimation of Saddam Hussein's importance.

Once captured or killed, no one would care to line up behind the LTTE Megalomaniac. History is strewn with forgotten memories of such barbarians.

If there is any truth to the rumour, the GOSL is making a blunder here. If they can really get Prabakaran, they must to do without delay.

Every day the war drags one is one day too much as people suffer. Get the people out; that is the biggest propaganda victory, just as we saw the brilliance of the first release where 100,000 people poured out.

Guys,
Do not take situation so light. For past several months, perception of IC towards LTTE has slowly changed or changing to a common tamil cause than a terrorist issue.
Reason is, SL GOVT and other patriots has given up their propaganda and fact proving missions to other influential world groups, becase we think that, everything over after the WAR and we are so close.
See now what is going on in TN, politisions are well defiant to say that they invade SL to establish a THL (sakkili Nadu aka Ehzam nadu).

Now situation is very clear and we all have to work hard and make SL a equavalant to Israel. Anyboy, who does covert ops to threat SL, should be eliminated, where ever the person is. Basically We need to have superb inteligence network and some very dedicated operative to handle the situation.

Combining the knowledge scatters around the worrld, we should focus on creating smart wepons/systems. we have long long way to go....

Do not jump up and down and think, everything is over after this WAR.

Reading DW is definitely better than reading a top thriller.

Just read between the lines guys. After three years do we still have any doubt about the brilliance of the guys at the top. I was cautious about MR when he was elected and his early stance. But within months he got my unabiding loyalty. To date he has not put a foot wrong. I suspect this has been to a large measure because of the guys he has surrounded himself with. Unfortunately, Preme Mama did not have what Mahinda Aiyya has at his disposal.
When sakkili koti denigrate our former leaders, just think about how far we have come from 1815 and even 1948. For the first time in nearly 500 years Lanka Maatha has the possibility of being truly independent and stretch her legs in the Indian Ocean without one foreign power or another dictating terms in this strategic and resourceful spot.

It is not just the achievement of MR but due to the actions of thousands of patriots in various guises (Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Sinhala or Tamil).

Just on this topic, eat up these two morsels:

1) Lunatic Fringe in India (Pissu Watiya) has to be considered in the context of level of education. Watiya is huge like on a Bitthara Aappe. Fortunately, at present, Watiya is more like that found on a British crumpet (no, Asthiri, I am not talking about an English rose).

2) Has any one noticed how Western Mottayas are subtly changing their tune lately? What do you think is going on brothers.

As far as what is happening in the NFZ let the Grand Chess Master finish this in the Brilliant style we have become accustomed to. Methinks not only textbooks of War but history itself will be re-written!

Then there is the the very small possibilty that we have all been betrayed. Very unlikley but it has happened before. That is the beauty of Sri Lanka and Sri lankans. We are always ready for anything!

Political Observer said...

Someone has written to suggest China cannot be trusted, as it pursues its own interests and given the Chinese role in subjugating Tibetans. True. However, neither can India be trusted for the same reasons (read subjugation in Kashmir, etc). That said, when it comes to Sri Lanka, India is has a direct bearing on the destruction in Sri Lanka, so if China is not to be trusted, India must be totally feared and given no space whatsoever in Sri Lanka.

If what Polanga says is true, then the GOSL might be using the international media to get the LTTE off guard, thus getting a better chance to get the remnants.

P.O.

Perhaps the fact that Buddhism in Tibet has been savagely attacked by the Chinese who invaded that country fifty years ago is unknown to you.


You know now.


Also, Tibet will never have the chance to even discuss democracy because the Chinese are anti-democratic.


These simple reasons make Tibet a good place to go looking a little closer at just who one is getting into bed with so to speak.


The Chinese are expansionist and will not tolerate a Buddhist dominated society as witnessed in Tibet.


That cannot be a good sign for a country like Sri Lanka can it?

DW,

This is a critical posting.

If this is true and GOSL and India didn’t’ wants this information to be given to Tamil Nadu for reasons we all know, DW is indirectly spoiling the soup.

If India and SL agree on “not to divulge the agreement” DW has made SL to break the promise, thereby India has to right to change her stand after the election.

Even if you can prove that this information is from Indian side, still GOSL will be held responsible.

If this information is true and from Indian side it may be a tactic of Indian side to blame GOSL and you know what will be the end result.

This post make me to believe one of the scenario;
1) Is not a true posting.
2) True posting, but now GOSL will fall into unexpected problem and India will wash their hands off.
3) Leave you not to explain 

Hemantha,

Thanks for the link (Rajiva Wijesinghe). Brilliant guy. He speaks better than he writes! The edge of sarcasm and wit that is conveyed with the change of tone and volume cannot be done with the written word. His slight lisp adds to the hilarity with which one has to regard the Andares of the West.

As I said, MR has the right guys around him.

Excerpts from Rajiva's interview:

"...why did the SL Gov invite these people to come"

"Well it's not that we invited them. They asked if they could come. Ofcourse being terribly polite people we said yes!" (heh heh heh) yes that's me in bold
"...we were delighted to have Mr. Kouchner. French in fact had been quite helpful; they set up a field hospital there... the French Ambassador while being a very principled person has been enormously helpful in terms of assistance"

"I think when Mr. Milliband called.. you know.. we tend to be very British in our approach and we thought we should say yes. I don't think there would have been a problem except the it was presented as a EU visit... I think he would have served the British cause much better.... while saying we should serve our fellow citizens which we know already.. we don't need him to tell us.."

"if he had not been so ambiguous abut the LTTE.Taht was tragic..." heee heee heee
(In response to JHU protests against the visit) "..when you suggest that you want LTTE not to surrender. Have another life that's not Terror..you know.. compare their approach to other terrorist groups.. you realise there is an ambiguity which gives rise to certain suspicions"

".. anything anyone tells us about principles is fine, but anything that seems to support terrorism actually gives support to terrorists. Even though it was not intended.. even though they are not old enough to realise that..."
hoooo hooo hooo
Now the coup de gras:

"... you know to give the British their due.. 21/2 million ponds are pledged.. that was the much more the very quiet and rather dignified Mike Foster who came and looked at things. And that's the department of International Development..and when I met an official and said 'your big boss is coming tomorrow' (smile/grin) said "no no no that's not my boss' (giggle).."


All this while, the Beautiful Sri Lankan interviewer, Sanchia Brown remains dignified with not even a suggestion of curling up of her lips!

Miss Information, thanks for responding.

"Start the West on a path of "put up or shut up" and keep the military focused on the job at hand."

If things were that simple, I think Mahinda would've taken that path.

I have a feeling that the govt did not want to get western govts and NGOs too involved because it did not want the latter to impose conditions which would hamper the military's ability to finish the war. The West has made explicitly clear that it values the short-term safety of the civilians more than their long-term security and well-being. The issue is complicated by the fact that the LTTE has infiltrated into the refugees, and that the West is ignorant or doesn't care that the next phase of this war will be guerilla.

Having said that, I do think that eventually the govt will be forced to be more transparent with what's going on in the camps, and to accept outside assistance.

"I mention to you that my posts are not always allowed by some moderators here and at both Ellalan and Puligal."

One of my comments was deleted from Puligal a few weeks ago, but Badri has gotten lazy and since then all of my posts have gotten through. Just give it a shot. Save your comments on a Word file, and if they get deleted you can repost them here.

"I repeat again that they are no real friend to any true democracy... I direct you to their actions in Tibet as a good place to start."

What China did in Tibet is only a shade worse than what India did in SL.

The name of the game in int'l relations, *especially for small countries*, is survival not morality. I'm not too thrilled about what China did in Tibet, but does China share a border with SL to be able to do the same thing?

[ most sri lankans don't vote for racists and therefore TULF, TNA, ITAK, ACTC, PLOTE, TELO, LTTE, TMVP, cannot produce a president. ]

Great observation!

Which non-Tamil would want to support a SOLELY TAMIL PARTY? NOT ONE.

If they persist in excluding non-Tamils from these organizations by naming them "TAMIL + something-or-the-other", they should have no reason to complain when they get ONLY TAMIL VOTES and never get to be a NATIONAL force with support from all communities.

Very few non-Tamil parties are named "SINHALA + something-or-the-other". They mostly have NATIONAL party names. With that comes the obligation to allow people of all races to join and lead the party.

So, let Tamil parties become NATIONAL in character if they want to gain NATIONAL status, or let them JOIN other existing NATIONAL parties and achieve prominence through MERIT & ABILITY as politicians.

I have NO DOUBT that we will see TAMIL politicians holding THE HIGHEST offices in this country one day. But, they have to PROVE THEIR PATRIOTISM & LOYALTY to the concept ONE, NATION, ONE PEOPLE, ONE DESTINY first, as Kadirgarmar did.

The LTTE killed Sri Lanka's OBAMA.

If the story is true, I call BS on this one.

First of all, why should all special ops stop? Why not mutually agree to stop ops and also mutually agree to go after VP at the same time, quielty?

VP gets 'done', keep his body in cold storage and show it post Indian elections as a 'recent kill'. If you 'do' him and can't find/ retrieve his body, but know he's 'done', end of. No need to announce it till later.

Backing off now may prove to be costly; a VP alive and well and having the time of his life elsewhere will be a nightmare. A VP in an Indian prison will also be a nightmare - for both nations.

I hope not, but fear so.

Kevin,

Stupid or not, they are still a significant political force in the US. The much depleted Republican party, having lost many of its moderate supporters to the Democrats, is now even more conservative than it used to be. Many of these ultra-conservative Republicans are Christian Fundamentalists. Will they achieve prominence and the power to influence US policy again...I believe they will as the pendulum swings....only time will tell.

The facts that I presented are true, and we need to recognize that as ONE FACET of the US political fabric. They are a depleted, but continuing, potent political force in the US, that anyone who wants to learn and influence US politics has to study, analyze and understand.

thanks for the update DW.

that means we have to take POSITIVE STEPS to save vezapillai!!

bcos the problem is not about we try to kill him but the fact whether he is alive or dead.

that means even if he dies from another matter now, the same effect will take place in tamil madu. they will say SLDFs action led him to commit suicide or whatever and the outcome would be the SAME.

this is a very shitty position for ANY WARRING PARTY to be in.

i can't imagine the fallout if the russian had to save hitler!! so vezapillai has at least another = 24*7 hours.

every hour allows him MORE opportunities to escape, reach a deal, get nosy outsiders, etc.

interstingly, at the rescue stage of a hostage crisis NO TIME is wasted by the rescuers! at that stage, time is with the criminals.something is certainly wrong in our case. we should be ready for that higher cost.

We should be naive to assume India is there to help us and put all our eggs in that basket.This is a give & take world,true for world politics too;India seems to help us now not because they want to but on one hand they have no much choice now in view of their own terror movements with Mumbai,Kashmir etc in the forefront and to take exceptions to our terror movement will bare their duplicity to the world but also to accomplish their own revenge on ltte for killing Gandhi.
However that they are on our side for the time being we should cooperate to some extent without losing sight of our main goal;once we are certain that the murderers are rounded up well and no way of escape,giving in to satisfy India's need will be looked up by them as a significant help.We know how Pakistan was under obligation because of Srimavo's excellent step.Our best strategy would be to hold off operations to help India while formulating our own strategy never depending wholly on anybody, better not to discuss these in the public for obvious reasons leaving it to our leaders assuming they are upto their task.
If not we all will sink.
It is damn ungrateful to blame China who is the shoulder to depend on always;just think what would have happened if SL was brought to security council discussion;probably we already have a peace keeping foreign army in our shores!Having some Chinese made military ware not a big issue;could have been by a rogue chinese company or plants by RAW!.Whatever their role does not matter here,we would have been a indian state if not for China. All hail China!!
PS:
I did write previously the reasons why the West will never hail our military victory as Votes,Church and political strategy. Under the political strategy you could probably add also the main reason why the christian West helped to divide christian Kosovo into two;that was infact to prevent the spread of muslim fundementalism to the west from Albania and sacrificing half of kosovo to satisfy Albanian muslims was hoped to prevent this spread to the west.
Well a similar strategy here by dividing SL might have been thought of to prevent spread of terrorist activities to the west.You never know how shrewdly or selfishly these countries work, no wonder who built up empires on our blood and souls.
As the fourth reason you could also add to the list their superior complexity;will they ever want to admit a third world country winning the world's largest humanitarian release sucessfully on their own!that will humiliate their military!Therefore will do all possible to discredit and belittle our forces.

Karzai urges US to stop strikes

President Karzai says civilian casualties undermine the fight against insurgents
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has called on the US to halt air strikes in his country, following an attack that reportedly killed scores of civilians.

Mr Karzai, who is in Washington, told CNN air strikes were "not acceptable".

Afghan officials say more than 100 civilians died when US jets attacked targets in the western Farah province.

The incident overshadowed a summit on Wednesday between the President Barack Obama, Mr Karzai, and his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari.

"We demand an end to these operations... an end to air strikes," Mr Karzai told CNN.

He said the deaths were "definitely" the result of US air strikes and not Taleban militants, as some US military officials had suggested.



Afghan and US officials are investigating how many civilians died
"We believe strongly that air strikes are not an effective way of fighting terrorism, that air strikes rather cause civilian casualties and does not do good for the US, does not do good for Afghanistan," he said.

US military and Afghan officials are investigating the attacks and trying to ascertain how many of those killed were insurgents.

The US says the Afghan estimate is "grossly exaggerated" but has not released its own figures.

At their summit in Washington, the US, Afghan and Pakistani presidents discussed their joint operation against al-Qaeda and the Taleban.

Pakistani forces are currently engaged in fierce fighting with Taleban insurgents in the north-west of the country.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she "deeply, deeply" regretted the deaths, adding that the US would work hard to avoid such "loss of innocent life".

Most interesting; Hilary Clinton's comment.

Unknown said...

The technique that tilted this war in SLA favor was, more than anything elas, the masterly use of subterfuge. Our political as well as military leaders have shown themselves to be masters at it. LTTE has been 'check mated' by this strategy throughout.

The latest move is part of the chess game and operations are continuing right now. Since all outsiders are kept out of the arae who can verify whether this is true or not? no one. SLA can say we stopped and continue.

The results will cbe declared with the results of the indian elections.

Don't think that this comment or what DW has posted are ervealing too much. That is also part of the subterfuge.

Leave it to them and relax.

The basis of your article could be fatally flawed.

There is a growing movement in the US and the hall ways of UN to get a UN security council resolution demanding a complete cease-fire in SL. The parameters of this may turn out to be either worse or not as bad as we currently see it here in the US.

But bad things are gathering steam against SL and of course Clinton and Norwegians, Brits are behind the game.
But the game isn't over yet. There's plenty that still can be done and a lot being done.

If you know people who make decisions as you claim, they would know abt this situation too.

Maybe, just maybe, they aren't telling you the entire truth here...

This was my assessment also. Because of it, I wrote to MOD/SLA urging them to GET THE JOB DONE NOW...every day it is delayed, the worse it gets for us.

At the very latest, the job should be completed as soon as the last vote in India is CAST, but not yet COUNTED.

Once the JOB IS DONE, the pressure will just shift gears to the BLAME GAME phase, but the US, UK and India have their own problems looming on the Afghan..Pakistan.. ..Iran....North Korea....horizons.

Whatever is happening on the ground and elsewhere in US, the million dollar question is what the US can do to the tigers.

1. Is Clinton going to lift the ban on LTTE?
2. Is she going to preach something to SL that she herself is unwilling to against Al-Qaeda?
3. How is she going to defend US actions against Pakistan and then take a complete U turn when it comes to SL?

Is all because some LTTE sympathisers donated $500 for her campaign? What is she up to?

Nilambre said...

FAR FROM IT, Brother!

The REAL REASON the US is leaning on Sri Lanka, is to DO A FAVOR for INDIA, because the US needs INDIA to DO A FAVOR for the US by settling the J&K issue with PAKISTAN, and helping Pakistan eradicate the TALIBAN from Pakistan.

The US, UK, EU and ALL WESTERN countries are SCARED SICK by the possibility of Al Quaida-Taliban combo capturing power in Pakistan and GETTING HOLD OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

So, the Western Countries are READY to USE SRI LANKA as a SACRIFICIAL PAWN in their effort to SECURE their own countries. "TO HELL WITH the OFT-REPEATED HOLY PRINCIPLE of COMBATING TERRORISM wherever it raises its head," they figure, "We need to survive first, so let's throw Sri Lanka to the Wolves as bait." Ultimately, it is ONLY A QUESTION OF WHOSE OX IS BEING GORED AT ANY GIVEN TIME!

INDIA also worries about the COLLAPSE of Pakistan, because dealing with a responsible Nation-State like Pakistan is INFINITELY EASIER than dealing with a bunch of Unpredictable Mullahs! Remember, India has 200 million restive Muslim citizens to worry about too, if the TALIBAN comes to ROOST next door in Pakistan.

The TWIN CONCERNS of Separatism and Terrorism within INDIA, and Indian Govt's concern about India's integrity, is NOT YET ON the Western Countries Radar.

The Western View is that INDIA is an EMERGING ECONOMIC & TECHNOLOGICAL SUPERPOWER needing to address social problems such as POVERTY at most, but without internal TERRORISM, and LAW & ORDER problems.

The Indian Govt, however, knows the REALITY that they are dealing with: civil Disorder on a massive scale that threatens to unravel India's drive to PROSPERITY. They KNOW they are ONLY A FEW STEPS BEHIND Pakistan in FALLING INTO CHAOS.

CONSEQUENTLY, they value Sri Lanka as a Potential STABLE Friend & Ally with an ABIDING INTEREST in PRESERVING the INTEGRITY of INDIA in the years ahead, and in countering SEPARATIST TENDENCIES in TAMIL NADU.

For this reason, it is in Sri Lanka's INTEREST to HELP India at this time, MUCH MORE than abdicating to the self-serving blandishments of WESTERN COUNTRIES trying to use Sri Lanka as a CAT's PAW to solve their OWN security problems on the one hand, and local political issues on the other.

However much I dislike a stay in the Wanni offensive, I believe this is why the GOSL has acceded to India's request. In the MEANTIME, Sri Lanka should use THIS TIME to shore up its diplomatic fences and align more allies for the confrontation that looms in the days ahead.

This is an ADDENDENDUM to my previous post on the MOTIVATION for the US & UK POSTURE vis-a-vis Sri Lanka:

Instead of the US and UK castigating Sri Lanka for it's military offensive against the Tigers and demanding a ceasefire on the basis of TamilNET reports, they should explain their need to HELP INDIA at this time, and ask the Sri Lanka Govt to DELAY the offensive until the INDIAN elections END, ASSURING Sri Lanka of FULL SUPPORT in its DRIVE TO ERADICATE TERRORISM, thereafter.

Their current approach is INCONSISTENT with their DECLARED POSTURE against TERRORISM, and is therefore FATALLY FLAWED.

Nilambare said...

Ananda Bro. Good analysis of the logic.

I guess one thing West is also getting increasingly worried nowadays is they being slowly becoming 'unimportant'.

The increased tension prevailing in the West is clearly seen on the increased number of these delegates that we are seeing now in SL. The SL Gvt's flat rejection of the British envoy is a case in point (well done though.).

As much as I don't like the pose in our military offensive, I suppose, if India politely requested from SL, MR would be hard pressed not to listen to it, noting that we have never had such a supportive Indian Gvt for years.

I only hope that SL Gvt tries to finish this after next Wed (May 13), and not wait till the results are announced. As it seems, there won’t be a clear winner in India and a lot of back room dealing might be required with perhaps TN politicians.

I am very glad that HRW's Anna Neistat is banned from SL for this reason. What is more inerestin to ssee is how US can use HRW to cover thei mistakes in Afghanistan such as "deeply deeply regrettable" killing of 100s of civilians.

“The Chinese are expansionist and will not tolerate a Buddhist dominated society as witnessed in Tibet.”

This is misleading and also wrong. China got nothing against “Buddhist”. If Dalai Lama was Muslim then what the fcuk u going to say? China have a problem with Tibet declaring independence, they don’t give a fcuk about they are Buddhist or Muslims or from Mars.

China was not so friendly to Buddhism on the time when u start having trouble with ur sexuality, say in 80’s. It is not my problem u hide in the closet so long and finally came out of the closet still thinking China is still back ward and anti Buddhist and anti everything else.

My dear pukadena elladena, pls go to few websites or watch few new documentaries done by not so USA/UK pukadena people about China and their progress and how they are promoting Buddhism and everything else.



…+++ \\( o )// +++…



P.S. Just quick one fro ur pleasure, I mean literally a quick one to readfrom Wiki!

“Today the most popular form of Buddhism in both mainland China and Taiwan is a mix of the Pure Land and Chán schools. More recent surveys put the total number of Chinese Buddhists between 660 million (50%) and over 1 billion (80%)[9], thus making China the country with the most Buddhist adherents in the world, followed by Japan. However, it was difficult to estimate accurately the number of Buddhists because they did not have congregational memberships and often did not participate in public ceremonies. Many lay people practice Buddhism and Taoism at the same time.
Buddhism is tacitly supported by the government. The 108-metre-high statue is the world's tallest of Guanyin Statue of Hainan was enshrined on April 24, 2005 with the participation of 108 eminent monks from various Buddhist groups in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Mainland China, and tens of thousands of pilgrims. The delegation also included monks from the Theravada and Vajrayana traditions[10] [11]. China belongs to those countries that own most of the world's highest Buddhist statues.
In April 2006 China organized the World Buddhist Forum and in March 2007 the government banned mining on Buddhist sacred mountains[12]. In May of the same year, in Changzhou, world's tallest pagoda was built and opened.[13][14][15] In March 2008 the Taiwan-based Tzu Chi Foundation was approved to open a branch in mainland China.[16]
The central scripture of Pure Land Buddhism, the Amitabha Sutra was first brought to China by An Shigao, circa 147 CE; however, the school did not become popular until later. The Platform Sutra is the most important sutra for Chán Buddhism, and is considered to be the only scripture written by an ethnic Han Chinese which is called a sutra. Theravada Buddhism and Vajrayana Buddhism exist mainly among ethnic minorities in the southwest and the north.

[ Is all because some LTTE sympathisers donated $500 for he campaign? ]

FAR FROM IT, Brother!

The REAL REASON the US is leaning on Sri Lanka, is to DO A FAVOR for INDIA, because the US needs INDIA to DO A FAVOR for the US by settling the J&K issue with PAKISTAN, and helping Pakistan eradicate the TALIBAN from Pakistan.

-------------------
Hi Anandha.
What do you mean by help India? Doesn't they want tigers to be finished? For me it is more like, not allow China to get hold of Sri Lanka. Instability in SL is good for U.S.

Saman said...

Ananda-USA,

Good analysis but I have some reservations in some aspects discussed. These are some facts I have observed,

1. Up to a point (until up to the event where 600 hard core LTTE carders were KIA), USA was more supportive and keen to see LTTE’s down fall. But that has come more quickly than they thought. Until that time USA was not critical of the way war was conducted.
2. EU countries. Especially UK and Norway were critical on this matter much earlier than that.
3. India has been reasonably consistent in their position towards SL.

Credit to GoSL, almost all three parties (US, EU and India) were taken by surprise the efficiency and speed at which our forces took LTTE under control. I think even GoSL was taken by surprise. This was when USA started making funny and unexpected noises and aligned them with EU. But India stood fast and only called for their concerned about civilians (in this respect they were consistent).

To the surprise of all reasonable people who followed the developments, Including India, got the shock of their life when USA asked for LTTE to be surrendered to a third party through UN. This has never been the policy of USA, ever. India was very quirt. Although they have not made any statement they encouraged GoSL by saying Prabhakaran & Pottu were required by India. This, to my recollection, is the first time USA requested a convicted criminal of India to be handed over to a third party. Now, you may recall the position USA took when Sadam was captured. He was not convicted as a criminal, prior to his capture, by any country including his own. (correct me if I am wrong). So this argument that India and USA is in a love affair of our delay in going for the kill is not quite so in my view.

The point I want to make is, USA’a unexplained stance on the above has nothing to do with USA’s perceived help for congress to power and in returning that favor by solving J&K issue in preventing Islam fundamentalists’ march to and across India through Afghanistan/Pakistan. In my view, it is given that Islam nations in the West of India will link with Islam nations in East of India regardless (just a matter of few generations). Also this argument has little merits considering BJP (which is ultra Hindu) would have a better chance of delaying that march.

I feel, as mentioned before in this block, USA’s move is anti Sri Lankan as well as Anti Indian. I am sure MR know this well enough.

In my analysis, the reason for MR (GoSL) to pause the operation can be explained in this way. He wants India on his side and congress in power. Any moves by USA in getting our region destabilized without India is extremely difficult. What ever said and done our politicians and elites still worship British Royals than USA. LTTE and Tamil separatists know this too. That is why they want BJP in power. They have a better chance with BJP than with congress,

I agree on one thing. WE MUST FINISH THIS OFF ASAP.

PATRIOTS!

I have just added an Article on National Statistics for Sri Lanka, India, and Tamil Nadu at the SriLankaPatriots blog. It is informative for us to compare the economic statistics of Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu, and to try to interpret in that light the stand taken by the Western Countries on the Sri Lankan Tamils issue.

The population of Sri Lanka is about 21 million compared to about 66 million for Tamil Nadu.

The NOMINAL GDP of Sri Lanka in 2008 is about 39 billion USD (2008)compared to 78 billion USD (2008 est.) for Tamil Nadu. The Purchasing Power Parity GDP, which adjusts the nominal GDP for local purchasing power differences between countries, is 92 billion USD for Sri Lanka; the corresponding figure for Tamil Nadu is unknown.

The literacy rate is 92% (2004)for Sri Lanka and is 73.5 % (2001).

Tamil Nadu is an important constituent state of India in many respects. Let me quote from wikipedia.org:

"Tamil Nadu is the eleventh largest state in India by area (about the size of Greece) and the seventh most populous state. It is the fifth largest contributor to India's GDP and the most urbanised state in India. The state has the highest number (10.56%) of business enterprises in India, compared to the population share of about 6%. It is one of the foremost states in the country in terms of overall development. Tamil Nadu has lately emerged as the most Literate state in India as announced by HRD Ministry. As per 2001 census Literacy Rate in Tamil Nadu is 73.45% "

The great difference between Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu is in the Capacity to Produce Industrial Goods, and the extent of Foreign Investment in the state from Western Countries. Again, let me quote from wikipedia.org:

"Tamil Nadu is a highly industrialised state. Many heavy engineering and manufacturing -based companies are centred in and around the suburbs of Chennai (nicknamed, "The Detroit of Asia"). Chennai has been able to get a large number of investments due to a combination of infrastructure (ports, road, power), investment climate, low cost and good availability of man power.Chennai has the presence of global vehicle manufacturing giants like Ford, Renault-Nissan, Caterpillar, Hyundai, Michelin, Komatsu, BMW, and Mitsubishi as well as domestic heavyweights like MRF, TI Cycles, Ashok Leyland, Royal Enfield, Mahindra & Mahindra(JV with Renault-Nissan to produce Logan brand of cars), TAFE Tractors, and TVS.It also has a railway coach factory, ICF(Integral Coach Factory). Recently in an equal joint venture agreement, Renault and Nissan have decided to invest Rs. 4,500 crore ($1,140 million) to set up an integrated greenfield automotive facility at Oragadam near Chennai. The plant will have an installed capacity of four lakh vehicles annually by 2010. Daimler has chosen Chennai for establishing a truck manufacturing plant in Oragadam with an investment of Rs 4,400 crores ($1,100 million). Signet Solar is in the process of setting up a manufacturing plant for 300 MW of thin-film photo-voltaic modules in a project worth an estimated $500 million. Sterlite Industries have their copper smelter (in Tuticorin) and aluminium (in Mettur) factories here. A large number of textile mills and engineering industries are present around the city of Coimbatore. Coimbatore is the headquarters for Pricol, LMW, ELGI, Roots industries, and Shanti gears. Coimbatore is known for its motor pump industries like Texmo, Deccan pumps and CRI pumps. Karur is known for its bus body building industries. Truck bodies are built in Tiruchengode and Namakkal near Salem.

Over 11.2% of the S&P CNX 500 conglomerates have corporate offices in Tamil Nadu.[citation needed] The Kalpakkam Nuclear Power Plant, Ennore Thermal Plant, Neyveli Lignite Power Plant, many hydroelectric plants including Mettur and the Narimanam Natural Gas Plants are major sources of Tamil Nadu's electricity. It is presently adding the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant to its energy grid. Tamil Nadu sources[117] a significant proportion of its power needs from renewable sources with wind power installed capacity at over 3600 MW or over 40% of the maximum peak demand. As of 2005, Tamil Nadu is one of the few Indian states with surplus power electricity, enabling the electrical authority to sell it to neighbouring states of Andra Pradesh & Karnataka. Tamil Nadu ranks first nationwide in diesel-based thermal electricity generation with national market share of over 34%.

The textile industry plays a significant role in the Indian economy by providing direct employment to an estimated 35 million people, and thereby contributing 4% of GDP and 35% of Gross Export Earnings. The textile sector contributes to 14% of the manufacturing sector. There are a lot of Textile mills located in Coimbatore. The city of Tirupur, in Tamil Nadu is the country's largest exporter of knit wears. knitwear and sometimes karur to tiruppur area referred to as Textile valley of India. In 2004, the export turnover from the town was more than Rs. 50,000 million ($1,000 million). Some 7,000 garment units in the town provides employment opportunity to 7,50,000 people. 56% of India's total knitwear exports come from Tirupur. The Export Import Policy of 2002-2007 acknowledges Tirupur for its contribution to the export efforts.

The home textile capital of India - city of Karur generates around (35,500 million) $750 million a year in foreign exchange and give the opportunity to 3,50,000 peoples for work.Over 60% of total India's exports come from karur. The Karur exports of Home-Textile products such as bed linens, kitchen linens, toilet linens, table linens and wall hangings.

Erode is also the major inland textile hub of India especially for woven garments & sarees. Madurai and Kanchipuram are famous for their handloom and silk saris.

Wind turbines at Muppandal in Nagercoil Kanyakumari District. In the background are hills of the Western Ghats.Electronics manufacturing is a growing industry in Tamil Nadu. Companies like Nokia, Flextronics, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson, Foxconn, Samsung, Cisco, Moser Baer and Dell have chosen Chennai as their South Asian manufacturing hub. Products manufactured include circuit boards and cellular phone handsets. Ericsson also has a Research and Development facility in Chennai. Big EPC companies have set up their Engineering centres which include Saipem, Technip, Foster Wheeler, Mott Macdonald, Petrofac and Tecnimont ICB. The Austrian company Austrian Energy and Environment also have a design office here besides local giant ECC {Larsen & Toubro}. Sanmina-SCI is the latest company to invest in Tamil Nadu to create a state of the art manufacturing facility. Nokia Siemens Networks has decided to build a manufacturing plant for wireless network equipment in Tamil Nadu. Moser Baer has decided on setting up a facility to manufacture silicon-based photovoltaic thin film modules and allied products with an investment of $500 million.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, a global electrical equipment manufacturing public sector company, has manufacturing plants at Tiruchirapalli and Ranipet. The construction industry also saw new entrants like BGR Energy systems ltd, Consolidated construction consortium.

The state government owns the Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers (TNPL), the world's biggest bagasse based Paper mills in Karur . as well as the world's sixth largest manufacturer of watches together with TATA at hosur, under the brand name of "Titan". 55% of all wind-generated electricity in India is created by windmills in Tamil Nadu. Renowned Danish wind power company NEG Micon has established its manufacturing unit in Chennai.

Tamil Nadu is a leading producer of Cement in India. It is the home of leading cement brands in the country such as Chettinad Cements (in Karur), Dalmia Cements (in Ariyalur), Ramco cements (Madras Cement Ltd), India cements (in Sankari, Ariyalur), Grasim etc. Big companies like MICO and Cognizant solutions have set up their design offices here. L&T is setting up big manufacturing units with an investment of 500 crores.[citation needed] Even temple city Madurai has attracted Honeywell to set up their centre here.

The town of Sivakasi is a leader in the areas of printing, fireworks, and safety matches. It was fondly called as Kutty Japan or "little Japan" by Jawaharlal Nehru. It contributes to 80% of India's production of safety matches as well as 90% of India's total fireworks production. Sivakasi provides over 60% of India's total offset printing solutions and ranks as one of the highest taxpaying towns in India. Sivakasi also is a 100% employed town, putting it in the company of very few towns in India.

Tamil Nadu has a significant amount of mineral reserves such as lignite (87%), vermiculite (66%), garnet (42%), zircon (38%), graphite (33%), ilmenite (28%), rutile (27%), monazite (25%), and magnesite (17%). The numbers in the brackets indicate the percentage contribution to the national share. India's leading steel producer, SAIL has a steel plant in Salem.

Tidel Park in Chennai is one of the largest software parks in India.Tamil Nadu is a leading contributor in the IT and BPO sectors. Tamil Nadu is the third largest software exporter by value in India, second only to Karnataka and Maharashtra. India's largest IT park is in Chennai. Software exports from Tamil Nadu more than doubled from Rs. 76 billion ($1.6 billion) in 2003-04 to Rs. 141.15 billion {$3.53 billion} in 2005-06 and zoomed to Rs. 207 billion {$5 billion} by 2006-07 according to NASSCOM. Chennai is a hub for e-publishing with 47 e-publishing units registered with the STPI in Chennai. Companies such as Symantec, Fidelity National Information Services, eBay, Hewlett-Packard, Computer Sciences Corporation, Virtusa, HCL, Wipro, TCS, Temenos, Satyam, Infosys, Polaris Software Lab, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Acme Technology Pvt Ltd, Covansys, Capgemini, Ford Information Technology, Xansa,Changepond, Verizon, iSoft,insoft, iNautix, MphasiS(Electronic Data Systems), Bally and many others have offices in Chennai. Infosys Technologies has set up India's largest software development centre to house 25,000 software professionals at an estimated investment of Rs. 12,500 million ($270 million) in Chennai. Chennai is also the preferred destination for companies outsourcing their high-end knowledge intensive operations. Testimony to this is the presence of major market research companies such as Frost & Sullivan and equity research companies such as Irevna in Chennai. This is the next high growth area that Chennai is witnessing."


This gives you an OVERVIEW of the COMMERCIAL VESTED interest the Western World has in pleasing Tamil Nadu. Therefore, ECONOMIC INTERESTS could explain some of the DOUNBLE STANDARDS being applied by Western Countries to Sri Lanka on the Sri Lankan Tamils Issue.

Patriots ALL: We have MUCH WORK TO DO both in the SHORT term to PROTECT THE VICTORIES WON in the Wanni, and in the LONG TERM to develop an INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY to MATCH and EXCEED that of Tamil Nadu.

Let us GO FORWARD WITHOUT DELAY!

Saman said...

[ But that has come more quickly than they thought. Until that time USA was not critical of the way war was conducted. ]

Saman,

Here is the key point you may have missed.

The handover of the Swat Valley in Pakistan to the Taliban for them to impose Sharia Law over, is quite new (four weeks ago). Even newer, and surprising to even the Pakistani Govt, is the instant move by the Taliban to extend their control beyond the Swat Valley to the Buner district only 80 miles from Islamabad. They apparently judged the Pakistani Govt to be weak and unwilling/ unable to prevent further aggression by them.

This ALARMED the US and the NEW Obama administration mightily, and they are moving rapidly to FORCE the Pakistani Govt to push the Taliban back in Swat, out of Swat, out of the North West Frontier province, completely out of Pakistan if possible. From both the US and the Pakistani Govt points of view, this is an EMERGENCY...and they are rushing to plug the hole in the proverbial dike.

A major problem is that Pakistan is unwilling to withdraw forces from its primary deployment along frontier with India, so the US is trying to get some sort of non-aggression guarantee worked out between India and Pakistan, and for India to go well beyond that to help Pakistan curb the Taliban.

None of this was URGENT six weeks ago; everything has changed radically since them. This is so important for US national security, that the US is willing to fund Pakistan very generously at a time it is going deeply into debt to shore up its own economy.

GUNS before BUTTER, as we ourselves did in fighting the LTTE to its ruin in the Wanni.

There is NO DOUBT in my mind, that Pakistan has to do this with all the will and determination it can bring forth, or we can say goodbye to Pakistan as a single nation, because not only is there the Taliban, but also various ethnic minorities who don't really see themselves as Pakistanis.

Ananda bro,

Thinking about a 'resource persons' concept is one of the things we expatriate educated /professional can so to SL. The concept is to go and train, lecture and improve the skills levels of Sri Lankans, both in the public and the private sector.

A similar concept for science related professionals was tossed around by one of the former Ministers some years ago, I don’t think it went that far.

I think the fields can cover as diverse areas as from improvements to public finance, budget management to engineering, numerous scientific fields, as well more importantly improving soft skills such as communication, negotiation, problem solving, and analytical type skills.

Since professionals working overseas have a much broader experience and exposure in these areas, working under trying conditions, they have well-rounded skills than someone perhaps working in SL.

SL’s set up still emphasises the ‘academic’ qualification as the most important as opposed to “academic + soft skills’ approach that we need in today’s world. Specially, the post-conflict SL can benefit from such an initiative.

Whilst this can’t be done overnight, that MUST be done, nevertheless. Mind you, there would be practical difficulties and teething problems as many of the people may not be able to work in SL due to their financial commitments (they not get paid or not paid that much) – as someone has to pay their mortgage – it won’t be that difficult to work out some sort of a program.

Government involvement in this is essential to facilitate this.

An idea worth exploring post-conflict..

[ Hi Anandha.

See my reply to Saman on why the US need to confront the Taliban in Pakistan has acquired a new URGENCY.

Who's they, that you refer to?

Central Govt of India wants to see the Tigers finished, because they are a threat to the unity of India, but wants a temporary halt until they win the elections.

The US wanted to see the Tigers ended a few months ago, but now they have a greater need..to destroy the Taliban in Pakistan before they take over that country...our needs are now a minor issue of little concern...getting India to help Pakistan is the greater US need.

US trusts the current Govt of India; it really does not know how the xenophobic historically communal BJP will act.

Central Govt of India is under great pressure to survive the Lok Sabha elections, and needs TN DMK votes. So, it wants a delay in the Wanni Offensive until after the election. Sri Lanka says OK to India because it understands that need, and the benefit to Sri Lanka of having the current party in power in India.

US misunderstood that Sri Lanka is willing to help out India wrt the elections on its own without US pressure, and tries to brow beat Sri Lanka into giving India what India can get just by asking SL in a friendly way, to SCORE POINTS with INDIA that can be cashed-in to get assistance to Pakistan against the Taliban.

So, the US abandons all of its anti-terrorism principles and rhetoric and tries to push Sri Lanka into a ceasefire "on humanitarian grounds" because it can't say why it really wants a ceasefire. I think after the Indian elections, if the UPA Govt survives in power in India, the US pressure on SL will melt away.

In case the BJP wins, needs TN votes to grab power, we are in trouble. THen, we will have to go ahead anyway with clearing out the NFZ, and depend on other allies to survive. If SL lets the LTTE escape this time, it will not survive anyway...so SL really has no choice in that case, but DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE.

That is why, the SLA should act AS SOON AS THE VOTES ARE CAST, without WAITING FOR THE VOTES TO BE COUNTED. WHO comes to power in India after the votes are CAST, is irrelavant to the decision on clearing the LTTE out of the NFZ immediately.

Absolutely agree with you.

But, here is the thing. You have to be able to apply what you learn, or it just fades away. That is, since most people are wage slaves, our job must have a NEED for such a skill.

That will require a good forward looking employer who VALUES such skills, knows how to CONVERT those skills into REVENUE STREAMS, and therefore CAN & WILL support the necessary training, both on and off the job.

Therefore, if expatriates with the necesary skills help npot only to TRAIN people in SL, but help to CREATE BUSINESSES and JOB OPPORTUNITIES that require and can leverage such skills...that would be the most effective way of helping people and grow the economy based on high-value skills, services and products.

Anybody who has read Ummagga Jatakaya, would remember the climax, where the King surrounded by an enemy army, escapes through a tunnel that the hero Mahausada built just for that purpose - without the King's knowledge. The tunnel, right out of science fiction, was full of luxuries and was large enough for elephants to walk through. There were resting and sleeping chambers at intermediate points, replete with banquet halls. Beautiful paintings were painted on the walls of the tunnel along its full length.

The structure discovered in the NFZ, that is perplexing all, has a similar purpose - for the royal pig to escape. But there the similarity ends. It has trappings fitting a dirty pig like the fat pig, with regular compartments designed for a pig to eat, drink and shit.

The tunnel in the Ummagga Jatakaya could accommodate elephants, horses etc. but not pigs. Perhaps Mahausada, though a genius, could not find an effective way of dealing with the foul smell of pigs (especially fat farting pigs who eat mutton and string hoppers) in a closed space like a tunnel.

We have all seen how the LTTE has used the experience of the overseas professionals for their benefit. Who says we don’t have the capability. It is a pity that all of it has only been used for destructive purposes and not for the betterment of the lives of the people of Sri Lanka. I am sure there is no dearth of Sri Lankan born experts in any given filed. Why can’t we rally all of them. Sure there will be limitations. Post conflict re-building can be thought of as a tremendous opportunity for Sri Lanka. We could do things the correct way. Professionals living overseas should find a way to help. The government should find a way to get them involved too. We Sri Lankans are notorious for missed opportunities. What do we need to make sure that this too is not one such missed opportunity?

Folks there are no such things as slowed down due Indian election crap as cesspit born Eelam Tamil scum decimation continues non stop. Only concern for SLA is innocent civilians. Hence the process is slow, but thorough to screen out Makkal Padai (civilian force driven by armed Eelam thugs). Only selected news is released by SLDF and no one else has access to any form of front line information including TV media. Tigers are now confined to South of Kmart to North of Vmart.53rd/58th/TF8 and 59th are all included in the ongoing BBQ. SLA has killed many tigers during the past few days and no further earth bunds are present observed via aerial photography. Many of the earth moving machinery were either destroyed or abandoned by tigers and their operators has become pray for SLA. Blogs do scavenge information from scanty rumours provided by participants. I will reveal my real identity when the last Cesspit Born Eelam Tamil Terror Scum is brought down by our boys. Just have a laugh and some patience. There is news restrictions to avoid agitating Open Cesspit TN scum.

Kevin,I did not mean there are muslim fundementalists in Kosvo but it was the route the West wanted to gag before becomes too much by sacrificing the division of that countrty.West is shrewd to forsee the problem. Don't think they are santimonious enough to stick their neck out to prevent genocides if that does not have any value to them,I could quote a many here but not necessary.

I agree with Ananda USA as I said myself earlier that we should help India at this juncture but should strike asap when the last vote is cast (which could be against Indias thinking).
The principles in this war should be that China is our main ally,never trust India and we should be shrewd and intelligent and being able to think on our feet fast;any abbreviation from these is disaster.

This looks the ideal time for SL;millions of refugees pouring out in Pakistan with US complicity,IC & Aids groups having a field day to get into the thick of it there,all the international media attention on it as the prime news,Gordon Brown & company is reported to be embroiled in MPs milking the system row spreading like wildfire in UK and anti govt riots in Kashmir; well is there better time for us to strike hard?

See the map of new CSF and learn how experts work. Notice the Eastern sea access and the Western lagoon access is being denied to the pigs. The so called innocent civilians and the stinking pigs are being corralled in to this zone. Once this is done our heroes can take out the stinking pigs one by one at leisure.

The pigs can escape only through narrow corridors where our heroes will be waiting to give them the works. The final stage is going to be a turkey shoot.

And the greatest thing. No witnesses. I cannot help feeling a bit sorry for the pigs.

Wijayapala,

"The West has made explicitly clear that it values the short-term safety of the civilians more than their long-term security and well-being."

Do you think the SL government, which has purposefully bombed dense civilian areas to compel civilians to flee LTTE-held areas en masse, has the "long-term security and well-being" of civilians in mind? How is it in a child's long-term interest to be dead?

Thanks! Point taken.
While the battle to rout these terrorists is on we must make every effort to develop the island. People in power must listen to people who have succeeded overseas and come back to the island to invest as they are facing numerous problems in the island. To start with the government must reform the inefficient, outdated and corrupt legal system that will not protect your investments, inefficient bureaucracy in the government departments that really get in the way of getting on with any venture.
People in power must meet the people like us whenever they visit these countries but not people who have no interest in helping that country but seek a photo opportunity with the visiting VIP.
When ever we met people like CBK or recently Prof Gl.Peris promised to look in to our concerns but nothing else happened since then. Unless we get the economy right in line with a place like Singapore we will be venerable to outside enemies who will weaken us and even impose their will on us then all these victories will be in vain

Indeed you do have the opportunity, if you enjoy the killing experience so so much. Why don't you enlist, and put your money where your mouth is?

Ananda-USA,

/Here is the key point you may have missed./

Mate, I was well aware and was following the developments in Afgan/Pakistan boader including Swat Valley for some time now. Even before this, when Pakistan supported USA (for money) after the 9/11 for money we knew well that Pakistan was asking for trouble. Where ever USA went and who ever opened the doors for USA such countries paid so dearly. Although USA does not acknowledge there is a stigma attached to their name. India knows this well. India would be very careful in dealing with USA for whatever the reason.

It is hard for me to justify that Swat Vally developments were the catalist for USA's request for amnesty to LTTE to braze in a third country through UNA.

In my view, USA's reqest has inadvertantly done good to our course. UN, China and Rassia's (even UNSC's) stance has changed.

Interesting couple of weeks ahead.

I am rather skeptical about these so called 'innocent civilians'. Judging from my past experience, every single one of them is proud of the Fat pig and considers him a hero despite all the cruelty he has inflicted on them. They also hate us.

I find in general that Tamils are pathological liars and this is quite evident in the Diaspora. The Tamils are never going to forgive us. Like in the case of elephants they never forget and keep revenge in their hearts. They will bide their and strike at an opportune time.

Our people on the other hand are impatient and tend to escalate even a simple situation in to a major conflagration. There is a streak of cruelty too in us. Notwithstanding all that we are also a compassionate people most of the time and tend to go to any length to be kind even to our enemies. We tend forget the bad things in others and trust them.

See what Babu did to Premadasa. Only a Tamil is capable of that kind of atrocity.

See how they murdered those SLA boys and girls whom we saw the day before on TV working like bees making rotis to give a warm meal to these 'innocent civilians'.

Those who are taliking about national integration are in for a big surprise in the future.

Reasonably Treasonable the LTTE Racist Terrorist,

Stop spreading blatant lies of deliberate bombing of civilians by SLDF. Yo are at the wrong venue to spread blatant lies. I have a few kind words for cesspit born subhuman LTTE scummies like you. What terrorists like you deserve is death, nothing else. You have a special place in Sri Lanka's unmarked graves reserved for faceless and nameless terrorist. Please live the remaining valuable days of your life in a manner not harmful to humanity.

SARA,

"See what Babu did to Premadasa. Only a Tamil is capable of that kind of atrocity."

Ever heard of Krishanti Kumaraswamy? Ida Carmelitta? The Kumarapuram massacre? The Mirusivil massacre? The Chemmani graves? No, of course you haven't.

Let me (or, rather, Amnesty International) teach you about the atrocities that certain non-Tamils appear to be capable of, using Ida Carmelita's story as an example:

"Ida Carmelita was a former member of the LTTE who had surrendered to the police about a month before she was gang raped and killed by five soldiers at Pallimunai, Mannar district on 12 July 1999. She had been shot through her vagina. In his report, the DMO in Mannar documented evidence of rape and sexual violence, including bites on her breasts and lips. Two of the suspects had been recognized by a neighbour and another by the brother of the victim. A corporal and a soldier were identified at an identification parade by witnesses and taken into custody. However, after two key witnesses were threatened and subsequently fled to India, the case is no longer proceeding. The suspects have been released on bail" http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/ASA37/001/2002/en/2f0a3909-d8a7-11dd-ad8c-f3d4445c118e/asa370012002en.html)

Care to revise your baseless, racist assertion? You might want to familiarise yourself with the abhorrence of this war before making such foolish comments in future.

I've no doubt the SLG keeps a special section of unmarked graves for rabble-rousing netizens like myself. Trembling in my boots I am, trembling.

Read the UTHR's latest communique on the SLA's deliberate targetting of civilians (+ the LTTE use of civilians as human shields). Say of UTHR what you want, but one thing they are not is pro-LTTE.

Now we know for sure, even though our forces show their exceptional skills in planing and execution, our civil administration sucks.
We had enough time and we could not plan to hadle IDPs and still it is big issue.
Issue is, GOVT does not try to distribute the responsibility of taking care of this population.

Even the cooking is still done by ARMY and this is utter waste of time money and resources.
same civil administration, like in pradeshiya saba , should be establised in camps with selected individuals as gramasewaka.
Food rations should be issues to groups to prepare their own meals.

When ARMY prepare Rice and curry, they will prepare dosai, wada etc. Let them prepare their own meals.

Get the able bodies, who are willing to earn, to civil works may be in camps or out side and pay them for their work, rather bringing people from outside.

Mix adequate number of moles in each camp to get first hand info about the thinking process of the camp inhabitants, to take mesures, before things becomes worst.

When a LTTE cadre is identified and send to rehabilitation capms, their parerent also should allowed once to visit to the capms to get some confidence. This is very important for Tangachchis.

whoever wants to join to their relations outside, shoule be allowed after screen ing and should report to nerest police station every months. all IDP details should be properly incerted in to a data base and should link to Air port immigration control to see any body trying to escape without permission from the authority.
Screening process should be categorised to according to risk profiles and people who in lowest risk profile should be allowed to go out and even out of country without any issue.

these people should be empowered to build thier own temporary houses/toilets, which can stands for rains. If they can build dozen miles of trenches, why cant they build a tent floor, which has enough height to withstand raining.

ARMY should be strictly adviced to not to have any sexual relationship with inside people. There can be thangachchies, who have been pluged their to have sexual realtionships with boys in ARMY and raise false allegation. People,who can suiside, easily can do such things for LTTE. We should be extremely careful of handling this IDPs. Most of them are innocent, but not all.

LTTE diaspora is working hard on their plan to euqate our camps to NAZI capms and there is a big IC force behind them now to support their cause.

There are lot more things, which can be done to destroy diaspora, without killing a single person. But I can not reveal those here due to obvious reasons.

Reasonably Treasonable the LTTE Racist Terrorist,

You have deliberately killed innocent civilians by beheading, cutting, chopping, suicide bombs, car bombs, bus bombs, train bombs, truck bombs etc. Trembling or not, your just a terrorist who has no place in a civilized society.

Sam Perera,

You should learn to read harder. I have no love for the LTTE, and nothing I have written suggests so.

You, on the other hand, sanction murdering people (apparently including people who don't support the LTTE) for no other reason than voicing an anti-SLA opinion, on the internet. That makes you the terrorist.

Sam Perera said...

Reasonably Treasonable the LTTE Racist Terrorist,

Scummy, you should try really hard to deceive people here with lies. Acting doofus here will not help subhuman terrorist cause. You are just a terrorist who has no place in a civilized society.

Reasonably Treasonable said...

CrimeWatch,

The UTHR has shed more blood, sweat and tears fighting against what the LTTE stands for, than you could ever hope to.

I challenge you to find one piece of evidence, just one statement, that suggests UTHR is pro-Eelam, as you've accused.

Reasonably Treasonable said...

Sam Perera,

Let me simply repeat what I said earlier. I have no love for the LTTE, and nothing I have written suggests so.Since you're incapable of specifically criticising anything that I've said, and your debating repertoire is limited to boring name-calling, I think I shall just ignore you now.

අසනි said...

Treason,

Does any one of UTHR has military protection provided?

Has anyone been able to survive after voicing against LTTE without protection?

Reasonably Treasonable said...

Crimewatch,

Yes, the UTHR has lost many of its members to the LTTE, most famously Rajani Thiranagama, who was murdered by a Tiger gunman in 1989.

They have been able to access some of the civilians leaving the Vanni, upon which they based their most recent bulletin, which you can read here: http://www.uthr.org/bulletins/Bul47.htm

You will notice that the report is, on the whole, probably more critical of the LTTE than the government, and actually has a lot of positive things to say about the SLA. Nevertheless, deliberately attacking civilians, apparently as part of a strategy to intimidate them into leaving the NFZ, is a war crime.

If an Indian political party is disadvantaged due to the capture/death of Prabhakaran, then clearly that party cannot be a favorable party for Sri Lanka.

What is MS thinking?

Sri Lankan said...

GUYS,

1. INDIA HAS ITS OWN AGENDA, THEY WONT CARE ABOUT US. WE SHOULD WELCOME INDIAN NON INVOLVEMENT AND MAKING SURE THE INDIAN TURF IS NOT A PLACE TO CREATE AN EELAM IN SRI LANKA. BUT WE SHOULD ALSO NOT FORGET THAT RELETAVIELY CUNNING TN POLITICIANS ARE TAKING THE UNEDUCATED TN TAMILS ON RIDE BY PROMISING AN EELAM IN SRI LANKA... CONTINUED LATER..

2. WE NEED SOME ELOQUENT SPEAKER WHO CAN REALLY TAKE IT BACK TO THE WESTERNERS.. IF I WAS MORE SETTLED IN LIFE I WOULD HAVE DONE THIS AND IT ONLY NEEDS ONE SPEAKER WITH GUTS TO TAKE ON THE WORLD...RAJIVE WEERASINGHE IS STILL NOT UP TO SCRATCH...

3. WE NEED TO GET FOX NEWS, CNN, BBC BACK TO HELPING US. LETS FACE IT. THE ONLY REASON WHY THESE MEDIA INSTITUTIONS ARE SHEDDING CROC TEARS FOR LTTE IS COS THEY DONT KNOW ANYONE ELSE TO SHED TEARS FOR... E.G. IN EACH COUNTRY THEY NEED TO MAKE THE STORY SOUND GOOD AND SINCE OUR GOV IS NOT BEING MUCH OF A HELP THEY TAKE THE SIDE OF THE LTTE. BUT IT DOESNT MEAN WE HAVE TO LET THEM RUN THEIR OWN SHOW. BUT CMON LETS BE DIPLOMATIC.

3. I SAY LET THE 59 DIV HOLD THEIR GROUND AND ENSURE THAT THEY TRY TO TAKE ALL THE TIME THEY NEED TO CLEAR THE AREA AND SOLIDIFY THEIR GROUND.

THEN ENSURE THAT 58 KEEPS CLOSING IN.

GET SF TO LAUNCH AMPHIBIOUS OPS AND GO INSIDE THE NFZ AND SNIPE TARGETS AND FALL BACK AFTER EACH OP BUT ASCERTAIN AREA INFO. SEND IN A MOLE TO GET THE INSIDE INFO. WE CAN USE THE ICRC AND OTHER NGOs TO LICK OUR SHOES. LETS SEND 10 WHITE GUYS AND HIDE ONE OF OUR GUYS IN THEM WHILE KEEPING THE REST OF THE WHITE GUYS WIRED SO WE KNOW THEY WONT LEAK INFO OR GIVE UP THE COVER.

GUYS WE NEED IDEAS NOW...

LETS CATCH THE FAT PIG WHICH WILL MARK THE END OF THE TERROR ACTIVITIES AND AN END TO EELAM NIGHTMARE HE HE

NOTE THAT CANADA AND MALAYSIA HAVE STARTED TARGETING TAMIL ACTIVISTS AND ARE GATHERING INFOR SO THEY CAN BE TAKEN DOWN SOON.

Unknown said...

Mr R-Treason,

Do not talk about UTHR and we know the mind set of the people, who run this so called HR organization. According to UTHR, any crime, if it not done by LTTE according to their own relization, is done by the GOVT. these old recist buggers need a realty lesson.

Big man behind UTHR is recist tamil crock, Prof. Hoole. He is a one, who plant the jerms of Tamil superiority in ordenary tamils using his credentials in academia.

According to that ..., Tamils are exceptional and they are very good mathemations, hence a superior race in the planet.

Paper published by him is avalable in the internet and I found it accedentally in a site several years back.

We can not expect balance reporting from resist buggers like Prof Hoole.
(As a lecturer in engineering, he is well respected)
unfortunately, It seems his fuzzy logic has screwed his own head.

Loku Banda -UK said...

Not all eelamists support the LTTE. Some want Eelam for themselves. Examples are people like Sangaree, and Hoole.

We need to stop thinking that everyone against LTTE is on our side. Everyone against Eelam is on our side. Even people against LTTE if they are Eelamists they are not on our side. We need to wake up if we want to prevent another terrorist uprising.

Reasonably Treasonable said...

andare,

You're a bit confused. Professor Hoole has nothing to do with the UTHR. You're confusing him with Rajan Hoole, his brother.

I have not seen that alleged paper, nor am I aware of any evidence that Professor Hoole believes Tamils are a "superior race". Certainly Mahinda Rajapakse respected him enough to appoint him Vice Chancellor of Jaffna University, and the Tigers hated him enough to threaten his life over the position, so he's doing pretty well for an alleged "Eelamist", I'd say!

Of course, Prof Hoole is besides the point, as the UTHR's record on reporting human rights violations by BOTH sides in this conflict speaks for itself. Not to mention reports from Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, etc. No doubt you label all of these sources "Eelamist", and only trust what the government says.

Unknown said...

Mr R-Treason,
even i had grate respect to prof. hoole, until i read that paper published by him.
Once he himself came to asiantribune to answer some alegations some years back and I raised the same point, but I didnt see him replying to it.

if he is writing for afganistan, it can be balanced, but not for any conflict, where tamils involve.

Reasonably Treasonable said...

CrimeWatch,

"Assume that once few members were killed, others learned the lesson. Simple proof."

That doesn't make any sense. If they had truly "learned the lesson", then they would have stopped attacking the LTTE. Instead, they've become more and more critical (as the LTTE has become more brutal). Likewise with the SLA.

Sri Lankan said...

Loku Banda well said

Reasonably Treasonable said...

andare,

Please read my comment above. Prof (Ratnajeevan ) Hoole has nothing to do with UTHR. Rajan Hoole, his brother, was one of the co-founders, but Prof Hoole has no affiliation, so your point has no substance.

Loku Banda -UK said...

The reason why I said that is because this is where the problem will come from after we kill VP.

People like Sangaree and Hoole and many more will go to India and god IC with fake humanrights issues. What they want will be federal Eelam.

Most of us forget that all these guys were original Eelamists. They fell out with LTTE because of VP being psychopath wanting to be the king. They hate LTTE which is good. But after LTTE they need to learn to give up Eelam and be Sri Lankan.

Kadir was the only original Sri Lankan from Tamils.

Loku Banda -UK said...

mistake in my last comment

Kadir was the only original Sri Lankan leader from Tamils.

there are many Sri Lankans from Tamils.

Qualification should be unconditional renouncement of anything called Eelam.

Unknown said...

Leaking information such as this jeopardizes government strategy informs the Tigers that they have an unofficial 6-7 day pause to regroup and counterattack or make a run for it. As patriotic Sri Lankans it is important to have responsible journalism.
I think overunning the Tigers in teh next day or two and exposing their lies and false propaganda would have a far more positive impact on the Indian elections.

Gringo said...

[Sri Lanka arrests 3 UK television journalists]

How did they get in? Probably paying homage to Velu... or spying. These reporters will now make millions through TV coverage, books and sponsorships! Poor Sri Lankans get peanuts + false propaganda!

Turn this 'problem' into an 'opportunity'.

Just charge $10000- per day per person, in cash, to operate in the North... which a unique site. Then put them under SLDF watchful eyes... and they would vanish into thin air. At least we can use that money for counter-propaganda.

What chance our journalists have to cover UK events?

When would we grow up to think big in $ terms when dealing with these foreign vultures? Why cannot we see that when we target 'low'... usually we 'hit' the target!
