A cautionary note on the present situation re Gen Fonseka. Our task was to allow things to settle down on their own which has worked. However, recent developments led particularly by a section of the diaspora Sinhalese is a cause of concern for DefenceWire.
DefenceWire team's stance up to now has been to avoid commenting on this dispute knowing fully well the capacity of both the present government and SF to come to a compromise on:
1. The direction the Sri Lankan Military will take
2. The direction General Fonseka would have to go
These may not be the most ideal directions for either, yet they are ones that are at best described as realistic and unavoidable.
There are many moves by politically motivated Sri Lankans, including Sinhala groups and also non Sinhala Sri Lankan groups to exploit a disagreement that has unnecessarily spilled over into the public's eye due to politics in the military and a very small section of the military in politics.
These groups, particularly those civilians involved who are not insiders or have little inside information can or will not understand the discipline of a professional soldier to take what he wants and to relinquish duty when required sans insubordination.
A professional soldier is not Dutugemunu. The Sri Lanka Army/Military is a modern Army/Military positioned within a democratic society. The professional soldiers serving in it will know when to let go. By asking them to perform a larger role based solely on selfish motives of individuals in the periphery, they may destroy that soldier and even themselves and their reputation.
The Sri Lankan Military and its leaders are now hailed the world over for their victorious feat. Their role in bringing peace to the country through military means will be remembered for decades to come as the ultimate example of a trained military executing its sacred task flawlessly from start to finish. But remember this, dear readers, military action is a means of achieving the end and the end is always political.
DefenceWire, as an impartial site whose work you have witnessed for over 3 years now wish to appeal to our readers to refrain from joining or supporting either 'camps' and to allow the professional soldier and professional politicians to resolve potentially resolvable issues mentioned above.
Thank you

thanks.
1. danuna - very rare
2. tillakaratne - also very rare. this is not MOST tilakarathna's spell!!
3. the other surname is also very rare.
4. a particular rare named guy associating another particular rare named guy is VERY REMOTE.
I read the material (related to so called HICORP dealings) posted by blogger Mosche Dayan yesterday.
And about six to seven hours before he posted that the same material(partially) was posted by Upul Jayasuriya, one of the brothers of the current Army commander, at another place. The contents of his post were the same as of this one but the wording was different. One looks professional and the other one was propaganda like.
Both versions may have originated from the same place. I strongly believe that it must be coming from the military or political higher ups.
Now I am curious. I like to know the rest of the story. The people at the origin of this story must have all the facts including the tender procedure followed. The country needs to know it.
And there is a bribery commission, even though it is almost dysfunctional due to the sufficient resources were not given, where they can hand over the documents. And there are other legal institutions which can handle such allegations and the authorities should immediately resort to these options.
If they don’t I will conclude that this is another mud bath.
re: ethnic integration
interesting! hopefully more and more ppl will explore the possibilities.

longhorn,
can u provide a link to the so called upul jayasuriya's thingy???
there are 3 things i posted.
1. first one, i got it from long range
2. the second one is completely based on my sources/internet searches
3. the third one is completely based on my sources
if 2 or 3 appears somewhere else, they have copied from me.
#2 & 3 are not mud. no point throwing more mud to a mud pool.
it is the reality based on INDISPUTABLE FACTS. govt will NEVER look into it bcos GR and MR too are part of it to the extent of OMISSION. there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY GR and MR didn't know this. its TOO obvious.
and our HOMA opposition is also not going to take it up.
thirdly the TNA MFs are also not going to take it up. they are the happiest!!
we have to always verify our loyalty. our loyalty should ONLY be to SL. it is not anybody's property.
"Give us the links then we can judge for ourselves."
I ignored the rest of your comment but this one.
And I do not think you need my help in this regard too.
Anyway,
It is LNP- main thread- look for upulj comments- between last 24-48 hours.
You are welcome!
There are many things about “heroes” that are unknown to those who “hero worship”.But it is a fact of life that devotees gradually discover their Gods have feet of clay
desha,
mate, we have to part ways at some point bcos i'm against ANYONE who made money from the lives of 27,000 soldiers.
(unless you are GENUINE about SL and not about personalities)
not only SF, MR and GR turned a blind eye.
danuna left technical college in 2005 after graduation in late 2004. married AF in 2007 and by 2008 became a multi millionaire.
now he is trying to make his CASH FLOW permanant. team up with satan's mother. it does not matter.
he wants his money to flow in UNINTERRUPTED.
when some positions change, he MAY (based on the quality and economy of the stuff he provided) lose part or all of it. hence the GARBOIL.
Moshe;
There can be unfair advantage gained by SIL of then Comm, but the same Comm did not drag on with war, whereas, as per the allegation, it is a profitable business for his family.
We're living in a country where some former bigwigs of war decision panels wages war and continued for the % commission from weapons.
SF's master class is the ending of war, for which he will be remembered for ever. Nobody else ever had teh skill or willingness for that. Also the hardcore mentality. Not only MR Sf also never give into pressure and in fact was leading an ideological edge over likes of MR, in order to keep right focus.
Apart from that SF has proved that he's a weak man. His pride, dogma, not sharing his glory, and pigheaded nature whereas he creates clicks among his ranks, favor his side etc. Plus his vengeance which overrides reasoning.
SF will get his own lessons in these traits. No matter what is said and done, he's an individual who should be around in SL politics. His acts will decide where.
lh,
he quotes these from a post made by someone called "sarath" who lives around danuna's area in edmond, OK. this was published about 1 YEAR B4!!! in december 2008.
the forum where he claims to be from edmond, OK does NOT take the ZIP code. based on IP, it locates the true zip. so this guy didn't lie about where he is from.
it has less than 100 asians and danuna who has BUSINESSES and home in this area (who is also popular for being the s-i-l of SF) is VERY WELL known!!
whoever quoted, re-quoted and re-re-quoted it(!!!) didn't bother to change much.
sk,
mate, my revelations are about DT, not SF.
but SF knew it. so did GR and MR.
ending or dragging the war was decided by other factors as well.
e.g. the political requirement of SL to end it soon.
e.g. the political requirement of india to end it soon.
e.g. worsening human rights allegations due to MASSIVE movement of ppl.
although the war has ended, the ARMY must be increased (i agree).
increasing the army requires MORE bullets, vests, tents, etc., etc.
srilankan,
welcome back.
unfortunately there are VERY few allround heroes.
even david and solomon the great heroes of ancient israel went into shit at some point. but the country cannot sink with them.
The analysis might be good with the context and information as at 31 Oct.
Is it valid on the 17th Nov with the new revelations now publicly known?
The analysis talks a lot about professionals (Military and Political). Professionalism is not only Military or Politicians working for a paid wage; but should have some elements of ethics and morality which unfortunately time and time again a selected few in the Sinhalese politicians lacked, despite their commendable achievements in our history.
It is ironic that despite the age, wealth of knowledge, recognition by the community, our politicians cannot abide by a Common Sri Lankan Policy instead of petty individual opinions being transcended to countries agendas, then working them with its own spin doctors.
Our Army was a professional unit with a professional military leader which saw us with a victory. Our politicians gave the best to our soldiers then. Why cann't our politicians back themselves and show the same dignity to our brave soldiers now?
(K)UNA drops SF!!
from expressbuzz
"COLOMBO: Sri Lanka’s main Opposition outfit, United National Party (UNP), has not yet decided to support the candidature of Gen Sarath Fonseka, the controversial former Army Commander, for the presidency of the country, a top level source in the UNP told Express on Sunday.
Asked for the reasons for backing out of a commitment, which the media had taken for granted, the source said that several factors had to be taken into account.
Firstly, President Mahinda Rajapaksa might not call for a presidential election now. He might not want Gen Fonseka to politically cash in on his recent achievement of defeating the LTTE militarily.
Secondly, the Tamil minority and the democratic forces were dismayed over the UNP’s lurch towards Fonseka who had publicly voiced anti-Tamil sentiments and ruthlessly persecuted the media.
Thirdly, it is pointed out that while the original resignation letter of Gen Fonseka’s, as approved by the UNP and other Opposition parties, had a paragraph on the need for media freedom, but the letter Foneska submitted to the President had nothing on the media.
...............................
we thought right. MONGAL, ranil and mano HOMAs are behind the letter.
...............................
Fourthly, a group within the UNP wants the party’s own leader, Ranil Wickeremesinghe, to contest so that the Tamil, Muslim and Christian votes do not go to Rajapaksa by default because these communities could not vote for Fonseka.
The UNP source made it clear that the main objective of the party is to defeat Rajapaksa and that supporting Fonseka is only ONE of the options open to it."
(K)UNA decided this sunday and monday our good general handed over his uniform!! and met and had a discussion with MR.
MR's waiting game paid off THIS TIME.
Moshe,
(K)UNA drops SF!!
It is yet to be seen where this political drama ends. However, one thing is certain, i.e. General Fonseka is going to be the ultimate loser.

Can't believe you said this. I think currently he is in a bad patch and making all the wrong decisions. Must be his Henahuru dhasawa. But, he will come to his senses and most probably start doing the right things.

People of Sri Lanka
Plaintiff,
vs.
Ranil Wickramasinghe
Defendant.
COMPLAINT
1. Conspiracy by collaborating with white masters to overturn the democratically elected government of Sri Lanka
2. Conspiracy by collaborating with white masters to bring bogus war crime charges against the armed forces of Sri Lanka
3. Espionage by giving national security information to white masters.
4. Treason by trying to give a 1/3rd of land mass of Sri Lanka to terrorist
5. Treason by collaborating with terrorists.
6. Treason by handing over SLA LRRP and MI operatives to LTTE
7. Crimes by attempting to stall economy by choking foreign investments.
8. Crimes by threaning foreign banks to reneg from any financial agreements made by the government if he ever comes to power.
9. Conspiracy by helping white masters in their attempsts to break the backbone of the patriotic core of sri Lanka.
JURY DEMAND
1. Administration of traditional traitor’s punishment at a public square.
2. Life sentence with no parole.
3. Expulsion from Parliament and revocation of civil rights (a trick from the bastard JR Jayawardena)
I heard that SF went yesterday or he is going to Sirikotha today. I have not seen any public announcement yet though.
These petty issues distract from the main objective, that is;
Transforming the country into a modern capitalist republic from a virtual monarchy
Gen. SF was a good policy innovation. However, there are others that should be considered.
In terms of presidential candidates, Karu Jayasuria is overlooked not sure why. He has few things going for him such as;
1 - He was in govt while the war was on - cannot label him a 'traitor'.
2 - Ex-Army, exemplary discipline and moral conduct.
3 - Similar stature to JRJ. obviously positives and some negatives. However, can be credible leader in the eyes of the public.
4 - He is more likely to relinquish executive presidency to become deputy leader/ceremonial head of state.
5 - Has a fantastic track record cleaning up the public service from corruption and introducing other innovative policies such as the customer charter.
6 - Former businessmen, good knowledge of economics and commerce.
Personally he is a good candidate, probably better than Gen. SF.
It looks like it was Ranil Wickremasinghe's strategy to contetst all along. In 2005 Presidential election, Rajapaksa got 50.29% and Wickramasinghe got 48.43%. If the General contests it will likely split Rajapakse's vote base. There is about 30% of the populaton that will vote UNP regardless of what happens in the country. Not sure where this drama is going to end.

Very nicely put. We should have a code of ethics or a code of morality for our politicians that is consident with our great religions and cultural traditions.

---------------------------------
MD we dont know yet whether something illegal has been done.
All we know is SF had his SIL as a defence contractor.
What we see is abuse of power.
The point is SF is supposed to be the person to uproot power abusing by MR and end MR' "Sahodara samagama", this shows that he has not lived upto that standards.
I think the story ends there. For now.
Moshe, Good digging. Keeep us update - I think you need better evidence to hold water- especially that letter by that guy.... But keep digging. Would like to hear more.
Shit has really started hitting the fan. If SF S-I-L made money from the forces- may this SOB fuck up.
I hope SF did not make money out of this- but if he influenced others to point of moving business towards a family member he is no different from MR, GR, Ponna Ranil, CBK , Premadasa etc.
Hell, I cannot think of a single politician who did not make money out of SL.( In the mean time people are still poor and suffering -less the suicide bombs)
Hope all the shit comes out about SF, SF's SIL, MR,GR, and (Ponnaya too) etc. If these guys made money while the solders suffered - they are not patriots but parasites.
My thoughts are with the brave who gave (and who is still giving) the life and limb for the country out of service.
Adios brothers and sisters - may god bless Sri Lanka - just saw a picture of a remote waterfall in Sri Lanka and only thing that came to my mind was - "what a beautiful country with such sinful leaders!".
I miss Sri Lanka very much - but not the politicians.
1. what on earth has happened to UNP supporters??? now they sing a different song. now they say there are BETTER candidates than SF.
sour grapes???
2. what on thunder happened to manamendra (fonseka2010)?????
3. the expressbuzz article
looks like this is it!!!
as far as MR, GR are concerned, they wanted SF out with dignity. that's all. they have it their way now and there is no reason to hate him.
now SF might be thinking of returning back to the fold. he will get a hero's welcome from his old team mates.
(K)UNA will be in DEEPER SHIT bcos now ppl will say SF dropped (K)UNA bcos (K)UNA is sooo full of shit!!!
this song by milton m. explains the (K)UNA situ VERY WELL.

(* sorry 4 repeting. this was refered (among other songs) about oba-ma (us prez)!! it was sinhala songs that kept me tied to SL ALWAYS and ever will.)

---------------------------------
We dont want a dummy to head our country. Here is an example decide for your self.
----------------------------------
during the UNP regime of 2001-2004, one will come across many uncomplimentary things said about Jayasuriya when he was a senior minister in the UNP government and the deputy leader of the party getting over a quarter of a million preference votes at the elections. To give just one example of how he was treated at the height of the UNP’s power, there was a meeting of the UNP government’s cost of living committee sometime in late 2002. Karu Jayasuriya was chairing the meeting and Charitha Ratwatte the then Secretary of the Treasury and Ministers, S.B.Dissanayake, Bandula Gunawardene and Milinda Moragoda among others were present.
Jayasuriya told Ratwatte who is a close Wickremsinghe protégé, that the cost of living has to be brought down. Pat came the answer from Ratwatte that there is a way to do it. Jayasuriya asked how and Ratwatte said that allocations to his ministry could be cut and the monies saved could be utilized to subsidize essential commodities. Jayasuriya, who is usually slow on the uptake in such matters, had naively asked by what percentage his allocations needed to be cut and Ratwatte’s triumphant answer was one hundred percent!
A horrified Jayasuriya had exclaimed, "How can you do that?" S.B.Dissanayake, who had been listening to this exchange between Jayasuriya and Ratwatte, unable to bear the presumptuous attitude of the Treasury Secretary, had pitched into Ratwatte reminding him that he was only an official and that everybody else present were ministers. He should remember that he was talking to the deputy leader of the UNP and a senior minister. Dissanayake, true to form, had then proceeded to give Ratwatte a mighty dressing down questioning among other things, even his educational qualifications, with Dissanayake stating that he has a ‘class’ (meaning that he passed his degree with merit) whereas Ratwatte has nothing of the sort. It was Dissanayake who rescued Jayasuriya that day from the bullying of a Wickremesinghe protégé. Thus ended the UNP’s cost of living cabinet sub-committee.

desha,
govt is NOT AT ALL interested bcos they too are at fault. TF the matter ends here.
who knows it may be the tip of a WHOPPING icebrg.
Moshe, Cheers.
Btw, I propose we remove some of the Gold braids, Buckles, Oversize medals, all the funky hats and etc from our forces. They do not reflect the environment in SL and frankly big shots (Commanders) all look like clowns in their ceremonial uniforms.
Hope the country will not forget the veterans - in the future veterans and their loved one will not have much political capitol - but it is the duty of the people to remind the politicians that we need to protect them and be grateful for the service rendered by them.
The only politician who has not made any personal gains during office is Ranil Wickremasinghe. I don't think he needs to steal since his family has always been affluent.
He has a very good track record as being graft free during his times as Minister of Indistries and PM. He may have been involved in tourture (eg. as in Batalanda) as was alleged during the JVP times but no one has been able to pin any curruption charges on him.
Then again who wants a homosexual, and a traitor as head-of-state in Sri Lanka ?

Gen. SF does not have to be pres candidate. He can split the vote in some other capacity i.e. shadow defense minister etc.
Rajapaske was hovering around 65% in southern PC. If the election was tomorrow, Mahinda vote will spit say 45/20-UNP with SF. With 30% of constant votebase they can still match mahinda at current level of popularity. NP election he got 95% and it has dwindled and do more so in future. i see remote chance Mahinda coming back with these figures.
The whole commotion of Sarath Fonseka being the Common Candidate of the UNF seems to be a fib in the retarded mind of the cursed RW, to give himself a bit of publicity which he never had, ever since MR was elected the President of Sri Lanka .
Despite all the agitation the curse with which RW is forced to live is far too great to change the situation for a man like SF to be hailed by RW now. RW called him then by all names and said that SF is not suitable even to lead the Salvation Army.
Having eliminated the terrorist which every body thought was an empty dream, SF cannot stoop so low to come to politics from UNP or from an alliance led by UNP with RW as its accursed leader.
But from the latest news in circulation, it appears that the unthinkable has happened, and the cursed RW has it seems got the Chief of Defence Staff fall a prey to his eternal curse. Only glory SF who became a national hero and a treasured figure in the minds of the people, brings with him to what ever political party he may join is the prestige of leading the Armed Forces for a victory over a « damned » terrorism that sapped the best of men and material of the country for almost thirty long years.
That alone is not sufficient to deviate the voting public to swing over to SF from a more prestigious and a beloved President. It was the President MR whose determination, and the ability to hold his head high in the troubled waters in which the Interfnational Community kept on poking him with long poles, yet not giving into them or the local forces alone, that enabled the Armed Forces of the Government to carry out undetered, the Military operations that ended the terrorism on the May 18, 2009 at Nanthikadal

[i'm surprised how some LTTE terrorists who claimed to have got an "orgasm" when LTTE bombs killed civilians are now trying very hard to whitewash senior military guys.]
Quite true!
As I said earlier, these whore-koodhis were just the other day resorting to every dirty trick in the book (fake execution videos, fake war-crimes, fake genocides, etc.) to bring Sri Lanka to her knees and now all of a sudden they are here fighting to keep SF's image clean and talking about the development concerns re. SL!!!
Do I get a strong smell of rotting Gingerly Oil or what?
A few days back I was somewhere in the EU and I was introduced to a Tamil expat living in one of the EU states by my “eastern beauty.”
This guy was a disenchanted ex whore-dog. Evidently LTTE even after taking a huge sum of his money and promising him that a relative of his (a distant nephew, age 12) in Killinocchi will not be taken away for the war did just that in Jan of this year and to this day, there is no word of the boy (he believes the boy perished in a SLA assault and was buried in a mass grave by SLA).
Needless to say, he is very bitter. However, it is not his bitterness what made my ears go at right angles when listening to his story over a beer. It was what he told me of what kind of organization that has gone into high-gear to discredit SL in critical areas and destroy her economically.
Evidently, this grand design to destroy SL economically is so well designed that there are even areas of specializations where even foreign SMEs have been brought in for consultations on how to devise and apply actions.
Needless to say, I was astounded when I heard of some of the fine details of schemes (I have passed on the info to interested parties now).
So, anyone who thinks that hardcore Tamil separatist/LTTE motherfuckers like Peter or any other pullu sappi (cocksucker) has had a change of heart is sadly mistaken!

[Isn't it Pakistan and China that sold you most of the offensive weapons? Remember 2000. How comes we don't have an axe to grind with them then?]
Pakistan nor China has a “TamilNadu Factor” which you whores so cocksurely banked on to save your LTTE bitches from total annihilation.
Not only did India refused to bow down to your “TamilNadu Factor” but India ended up providing military help and know-how (including where you floating arms warehouses were) to GOSL. Hence your bitterness as this was just too much of an insult, at a very kith-kin personal level, for you whoredogs to bear – and hence why you would say that “India is SL’s biggest enemy”
ha ha ha…nice try….no, this time too, it did not work!
LMSSAO!!! Truly LMSSAO!!!

It is not just coincidence that Ponna Seka 2010 went silent at a time that he should be going at his max decibel value.
Something very funny cooked in Kottu Roti Alliance.
Temporarily as Sam said SF is the looser, but the lessons he's getting are for life time and worth the hardship.
And if this marks his return to old team, well, it makes it an innings victory to us. Even better as, MR will be giving him max he can, and SF will be humbly returning. It is really good that they are breaking each other's dogma.
Thusitha;
We saw the weaknesses of general. I even heard some during war. I heard the Muha issue [but not the way how deshapaaluwa said] those days from a person whom I can trust.
Yet he was the grand master with a winning formula. Someone like Arjuna Ranathunga.
Nevertheless SF is not someone whom I'd take the attack on no matter which side he chooses. He's a hero. We're lucky humans to have superheroes of flesh and blood, unlike those who wear undie on top of trouser in west.
Asithri,
India had no direct role in the destruction of the LTTE's floating warehouses.
NDTV's defence editor Nitin Gokhale
made the claim in his book "Sri Lanka: from War to Peace" that it was India that helped Sri Lanka destroy the floating warehouses. That claim and several other claims made in his book have since been contested by Defence Ministry.
A few days ago the President finally acknowledged that it was the USA that provided intelligence regarding the floating warehouses. This was well known for some time but this is the first official admission.
It is suspected that some of the crewman of those ships may have been North Korean. That may be why the US wanted Sri Lanka to destroy the ships. Regardless of their motives, many countries helped Sri Lanka in this effort and they should be commended for their contribution.

Dear Folks,
It is impossible for RW to win the next PE without a miracle. SF cannot make miracles by joining UNA or being the common candidate. Even miracle has to come from MR by making biggest political blunder between now and next PE election time which is most unlikely.
The last PE election was close not because of Wanni Tamils boycotted the election. Most people thought RW’s peace agreement better than fighting and killing each other because they were convinced by more than two decades of loosing territory, lives and loved ones. Even MR did not promise all out war in his campaign. MR could have lost the last PE if Wanni Tamils were allowed to vote.
Today fair number of people who voted to RW in the 2005 believes MR over RW for winning the war which was made to believe not winnable.
MR’s down side is people like Mervin, building family empire (most of them are really good) and too much government expenditure.
If MR goes to PE now or within next few months, he should win it by a bigger margin than the last PE.
My estimate is RW will not get even 40% with or without SF factor; if MR to sail clean between now and next election.

The best we have for the PE as far as the present politicians are concern...

B#!,
Mate, we do not have choice here because available best is also an obvious rejects in most of other domains. I do not have any particular overwhelming alienation to MR because he is also a rotten bastard to me in my standard but better than other available MFs.
We will not get a good fellow for a century a least.

Lots of comparisons between SF and Arjuna Ranathunga. I also think that their behavior is very much alike.
[I also think that their behavior is very much alike.]
NO. Arujuna was a big hero from he won the 1996 World cup and there were no occasions that he was frustrated and discouraged due to corrupt politicos.
B#1;
After the WC win Arjuna also had lots of huff and puff with selectors etc. He was not given a very friendly departure.
But my point is that both this men behave alike, plus their BG is alike.
Patriots,
When we are busy you can expect some schocking news. You will get some of that tomorow.
WE have always said Gen. Fonsek will be an independent cadidate and that anyone is welcome to offer their supprot for him. We always said he will not contest is any existing political party becuase they all carry dirt from past. Many political terrorists hhave tired and failed to make the great General look like a pawn of the UNP.
Patriots, we welcome support from all Sri Lankans. If UNP supports us we welcome it. If SLFP support us we also welome that. Why we even asked the current presidnet to support People's Fonseka 2010 Campaign, but he refused.
So don't be fooled by political terrorists.
There will be news of other heroes from our war effort offering their support for the Great General by entering civil clothes. Many are very upset about Rajapaksa family asking Indians to come and fight Sri Lankan armed forces so that one family can cling on to power/
[MR to decide today on Presidential or General election]
The word today describes that it must be PE. There must be some settlements with SF I guess. :)
Patriots,
Even the USA has recognised the People's Campaign and our message of HOPE.

We all know that India called Ranil to tell him not to support Gen. Fonseka for president. Then Ranil said with or without his support Gen. Fonseka would be President in 2010. Then again India sent its "big men" to try to threaten Ranil and also assure Rajapaksa family that they can contineu to be "Raj" of Sri Lanka. Ranil is a loser. He will have no choice but to support the People's Campaign becuase the UNP grass roots have even said they will abandon Ranil becuase they want CHANGE in the nation's history.
haha. Yes.
Sri Lanka is a small first state in India's empire building ambitions.
http://www.hindustantimes.com/The-bridge-not-too-far/H1-Article1-477044.aspx
From the horse's mouth right?
No. Gen. Fonseka is not what these guys try to make him out to be. He is a Sri Lankan FIRST. He puts Sri Lanka first. That is why parties they call Sinhala, Tamil or Muslim extermist or nationalist are all supporting Gen. Fonseka. Only 110 ministers and their families are still supporting Rajapaksa family.
One thing that unites JVP, TNA and SLMC, DFP, UNP and Pilayan is Gen. Fonseka. It is the message of CHANGE. Of a NEW Sri LAnka.
2010,
what you make out of it is BS but thanks for sharing. very interesting.
the hindu editorial.
"Sri Lanka is a nation trying to live in peace after a generation-long war. If it fails to make the transition, the island runs two risks: a resumption of the civil strife that has wracked the country, and the contamination of its democracy with poisonous strains of Sinhala nationalism. Either would be detrimental to Indian interests, given the threat they pose to Sri Lanka’s Tamil minority amid instability in South Asia. Sri Lanka is also a test case for India’s larger aspirations, where the international community has allowed New Delhi to take the lead. If India cannot find a modus operandi for a country of 21 million, less than 50 kilometres from its coast, it cannot credibly ask to have a say in global affairs.
The present political confrontation between the Mahinda Rajapaksa government and its former army chief, Sarath Fonseka, reflects the civil war’s legacy of militarisation and ethnic friction. In proportion to its size, Sri Lanka’s 230,000-strong armed forces and $1.5 billion military budget are among the world’s largest. Re-scaling these to a peacetime size would be difficult even if Sri Lankan politics were calm. To win the civil war, Colombo mobilised militant forms of Sinhalese nationalism. The Fonseka crisis pits two nationalist factions against each other. The second Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) insurrection is a reminder of the dangers such nationalism poses to Colombo.
The JVP insurrection is also a warning to India of the tightrope it walks if it’s seen to be interfering in Sri Lankan politics — and that of any neighbour. Small countries like the Maldives and Bhutan have no qualms in placing themselves under an Indian security umbrella. But in bigger regional States, like Nepal and Bangladesh, a large chunk of the political establishment defines itself by opposing India. This is not the case in Sri Lanka where a political consensus has evolved that sees India as the final guarantor of the country’s unity and democracy. Thus the Rajapaksa government can publicly call India its ‘closest ally’ or ask New Delhi for help when faced with coup rumours. Even Fonseka has, so far, avoided criticising India. Sri Lanka is a model neighbour: a fully sovereign nation that has learnt to go beyond fears of India’s sheer size. Which makes it all the more important that New Delhi does not put a foot wrong as it assists Sri Lanka beat its swords into ploughshares."
we managed china-india relative importance issue in SL's favour.
now the govt is using it in their favour.
1. india do not like SL moving closer to west than it is now.
2. OTOH india also fear SL moving closer to china.
3. MR's govt has managed india very well by addressing the 2 fears.
4. china will also not like SL moving closer to the west than now.
5. china will also not like SL being manipulated by india.
6. SLFP is seen as a pro-indian party, BUT UNP is not seen as a pro-china party. so the regional support goes to ONE SIDE.
7. at the same time the west will throw its weight behind UNP under blake's guidance. but apart from begging rights, SL will not achieve much. that will also lead to india & china using their allies/loans/trade/defence co-operation to destabilise the country.
8. it is unfortunate that such things of CRITICAL national importance do not have a CONSISTENT, NATIONAL POLICY.
9. but politicians ALIGNING themselves with the national-regional defence strategy is good for them. it is like saying, "elect me and maintain the status quo or elect the other and have anarchy".
the delaying game played by MR and SF is classic.
it is like "declaring" in cricket.
too early, there's the risk of defeat.
too late, it loses excitement/the ability to defeat the other team decisively.
SF says his decision comes in 2 days.
MR says his decision to come in 1 day.
who will delay most??
but SF can always go back on his word. he has done so. but MR cannot. once PE or GE is declared, that's it.
it is best for the govt to have the SHORTEST canvassing time.
if can be held in december, very good for the govt than later.
Here is a mantra..
"FONSEKA 2010 IS HERE TO DIVIDE THE PATRIOTIC VOTE. DO NOT SUCCUMB!"
Just keep repeating and ignore Fonseka 2010.
"Sarath Get 70 Commandos"
Mano Ganeshan is an LTTE Sympathizer. Now he is Sitting next to SF in Meetings and has information on all his travel and security detail.
Still LTTE has US$ Billions in their bank A/C and can find the best hitmen from anywhere in the world. With Mano and "Others" information anythign can happen and put the balme on the government.
Even with 1000 Commandos it is impossible to protect a man "Sleeping with the Enemies"
Don't forget that Babu was Premadasa's friend and Ashroff also setup by an LTTE operative worked under disguise.
First LTTE killed Lalith then and put the blame on him. When LTTE killed Premadasa he was so unpopular by that (a crime which he not commited)
Who benefitted :
Ranil stepped one up in the UNP ladder
then LTTE killled Ashroff
Who benefitted :
Rauf Hakeem
So LTTE has helped them lot in the fast and now they might trying to pay it back...
If we lose a Good General becasue of soem "Incapable polticos" (100% due to his stupidity)...it is country lose a good man not UNP or JVP. Somawansa or Ranil can contest to the elections...but can any of them lead the forces in and LTTE..?
You have a place in this world...Mr SF...find and live iin that place..
[SF says his decision comes in 2 days.
MR says his decision to come in 1 day.
who will delay most?? ]
This is call "positive thinking" lol :)
--
But, SF is the person who first talked about a decision. So, MR is delay here. :)
dear Colomblogs,
If someone has replaced Prabakaran, he/she would assess who is the biggest threat to LTTE at present. LTTE has always chosen their target after cold hard calculation not revenge. Given the current scenario it would be MR that would fit the bill.
You said Mano/TNA are LTTE sympathisers and they are likely to kill the general. This does not make any sense at different levels. They are;
1. Present LTTE leader (if indeed one exist) would never sacrifice TNA/Mano for petty revenge killing of SF. In their eyes TNA is the most important representatives Tamils have.
2. Why expose themselves by killing SF first? SF dies then the hounds will start chasing after LTTE. They then would miss their biggest target MR.
3. If two of LTTE enemies are contesting, they will wait for a result who emerge the winner. Then they will kill the winner, not before there is a result.
Therefore I feel the General is safe from LTTE until something happens to MR.
You have to remember other factors. Remember Lasantha's letter from the grave?
Who knows perhaps Gen. SF have collected few interesting info in a safe only to be opened if anything happens to him.
If anything happens to the general even by accident, I feel things will get very ugly. Its in the best of the present administration to see that he is safe and well.
We need uncorrupted people to lead this country. A leader who can return the country back to the parliamentary system where all ethnic groups share equal power. Check our plan;we want a leader who is willing to hand over the country to true multi-ethnic leaders like Wikramasigha, Ganeshan, Hakeem, and Samarveera; we want a leader who will give us freedom

A close relative of Gen. Fonseka's son-in-law is reported to have got entangled in a club brawl, which saw him being 'bounced' from the club by its owner. The next day, the club owner had received a threatening telephone call. The club owner seems to have influence himself - he had reported the matter to Major General Shavindra Silva, Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) and Maj-Gen. Mendeka Samarasinghe, Chief of Staff of the Army, because the number of the call was traced to an officer from the Artillery Regiment at Panagoda. An inquiry was promptly called into the matter.
At this stage, the Defence Secretary got to know that the officer concerned was possibly acting on other's behalf and seems to have wanted to sort the matter out without allowing it to proceed too far when it transpired that the case involved a relative of Gen. Fonseka.
Instructions went to the Regimental Commander thereafter with the suspension orders, as the Defence Secretary took up the position that "we won't be able to run the Army this way". He was alluding to a breakdown of discipline if junior officers were going to be intimidating senior officers.
On his return to Colombo, Gen. Fonseka was to complain to the defence Secretary saying "Sir, balanna. May Major-wa suspend karala thiyanawa ne" (Sir, see, this Major has been suspended).
At this point the conversation got heated, with the Defence Secretary lecturing Gen. Fonseka about discipline in the Army, and reminding him of the number of people he (Gen. Fonseka) sent out on disciplinary grounds, and often for lesser offences.
The Defence Secretary was to say that Maj-Gen. Shavindra Silva was Director Operations of the Army, and "a General", and asked how a junior officer could do this even after an internal inquiry.
At this point the Defence Secretary Rajapaksa told Gen. Fonseka, "Sarath, don't come to teach me about discipline", at which point Gen. Fonseka barked back "This is not justice" and terminated the conversation
Link
B Raman a former top Indian intelligence official, former cabinet secretary, a writer in the Lanka Guardian, has written an article comparing Sri Lankan's war to India's war over Sikh extremism.
He says "A perusal of his (Gen SF's) letter to Rajapaksa does not speak well of his intellectual maturity as an individual."
Comparing Sikh extremism to the LTTE is like comparing apples and oranges. KPS Gill, the super cop, who wiped out the Khalistanis was a Sikh himself. He never got the adulation and stature that General Fonseka has achieved. Also, the Sikhs never got the kind of external support that the LTTE got from the Indian central government and the TN State Government.
Obviously, the General's possible entry seems to be making India nervous. Its like a horse race when it comes to the great powers. Each of them have placed their bets on their favourite horses.
[Obviously, the General's possible entry seems to be making India nervous.]
Very true..

Ha ha ha, the green monkeys and Sinhala Koti Karumaya are demanding for a presidential election soon. What these monkeys can't remember is that we had elections on 2005-11-17 and according to the constitution we have 2 more years to go. That is what people voted for and the green monkeys have no right or what so ever to demand for an early election, except for the case the president himself decides to have an early PE. Until then, they can stuff their rears with common candidate.
Old news. But still valid.
"Corruption Watch focus on Mihin Air
Tuesday, 18 November 2008 - 9:01 PM SL Time
Counsel Shiral Lakthilaka says that the Mihin Air directors and officials are enjoying Board of Investments (BoI) concessions and many other dispensations regardless it is a company that went bankrupt after swallowing Rs. 3.7 billion public money. BoI concessions are usually provided to foreign direct investment.
Mr. Lakthilaka made these observations addressing the press briefing of Corruption Watch programme held in Colombo today to mark the third anniversary of the presidency of Mahinda Rajapakse. `Corruption Watch` has been set up to expose the corruption ad malpractices.
He said that Rs. six billion was allocated to this bankrupt company from this budget. Of the Rs. 3.7 billion granted earlier, Rs. 1.7 billion was lent by Bank of Ceylon which was affected due to the non-payment of this loan. Lanka Puthra Bank that was mobilized to assist small and medium scale enterprises went totally inactive as a result of unsettled loans of Mihin Air. The budget airline is in debt of Rs. 385 million to Ceylon Petroleum Corporation as well.
According to Mihin Air`s agreement with BoI, the company has agreed to bring Rs. nine billion investment to the country but not a single cent has been drawn yet. Further it ate Rs. 3.7 billion from public coffers, Mr. Lakthilaka said. "
Gotabaya R was a director of Mihin Air.

"The fact that Gen. Fonseka was also to be used as a 'source' to obtain further information about Sri Lanka's Defence Secretary should be un-nerving for the latter, and the fact that the General was allowed to leave the US unhindered was considered as proof that the US was targeting the Defence Secretary and not the former Army Commander."
and what happened? from a US pov, GR 'got away' due to his 'connections' in the govt.
what should be the next logical step???
sever GR's connections in the govt.
but blood is thicker than water and his brother is not going to do that.
then what??
get rid of MR govt.

Gents,
There are no saints in this arena. Its a bit more subtle now compared to the days of the Bandit
Queen. At least she was more open about her corruption and nepotism (expropriating prime land in Colombo for her personal use).
During the CBK era, Ratnasiri Wickremanyake was involved in a major fraud to the tune of almost a billion rupees at the Rubber Corporation.
http://sundaytimes.lk/020908/news/6.html
Its a shame that the President brought back PBS Jayasundera who facilitated all these crooked deals during the CBK era and who was debarred by the former Chief Justice.
Karu Jayasuriya is an interesting character. Looks like he is playing both sides. His son-in-law Naveen Dissanayake is still with MR. The reality is that politicians can't be in the opposition for ever. That's why Ranil's so called best friend Milinda Moragoda jumped over to MR's side.
I think for the economic health of Sri Lanka there needs to be a viable opposition that acts as a
watch dog, an opposition that is not tainted by corruption.

One of the biggest trump cards that Sri Lanka has with the USA is a status of forces agreement governing military personnel. When the international criminal court was set-up, the US negotiated bi-lateral agreements with individual countries to ensure that their military forces are not hauled before the international criminal court. From my understanding its a bilateral agreement that is applicable to Sri Lanka military personnel too. At the time this was signed, there were lots of protests on the Indian side, probably reflecting a lack of understing of the agreement, that Sri Lanka had entered into a military agreement with the USA.
Gota should renounce his US citizenship (there are procedures to do this), and the government should threaten to abrogate this status of forces agreement. The agreement is more symbolic from the Sri Lanka's point of view since neither Sri Lanka nor the USA are members of the body. However, it is viewed as extremely important from the US perpective. Of course, it would be a game of brinkmanship that may have unintended consequnces.

for te time being all war crimes crap has gone down. they are waiting for the govt to respond to the US report.
after that it will restart.
but as i said b4, there is NO EVIDENCE whatsoever to construe war crimes carges as per the US report.
about the US-SL pact...true.
e.g. this years pacirim summit didn't include SL although last year it did!! looks like SL is only a bystander.
severing it or threatening to sever it will not affect SL much. but it is very important to US as you say. it is more important for US to keep SL guessing!!

Hey Anticorra,
Corruption in one form or other existed in all times in Sri Lankan politics with the possible exception of D. S. Senanayake and a very few of his followers. Although I am concerned about it, it is not something I am extremely concerned about at this moment of victory against terrorists and their white masters. As a citizen of Sri Lanka, what I want now is a government that will not allow terrorist remnants to raise the heads again. As a citizen of Sri Lanka, what I want now is a government that will not bend over backwards to please white masters. As a citizen of Sri Lanka, what I want now is a government which can lead us to a strong future. The UNP in the current Ponna Wickramasinghe form and their unholy alliance has shown that they are incapable of any of the above. The present government, however corrupt they are, has already demonstrated that they can meet my criteria. Therefore, it is imperative that the current government continue another term until we bring stability to the country. Regardless, it is the will of the majority that gets implemented in a democratic system, not what a few unsavory puppet masters want.

"Soon after his arrest, the Sri Lankan defence ministry said intelligence agencies in several countries were looking for a number of high-profile Tamil Tiger operatives.
Fearing that Mr Pathmanathan may reveal their names, many senior leaders of the LTTE living abroad have either gone underground or are lying low for fear of being arrested and taken to Sri Lanka.
Some LTTE sympathisers say prominent rebel supporters, who are lying low at the moment, will not hesitate to revive the organisation if the conditions become viable. They say it all depends on developments back in Sri Lanka."
so far so good.
the BEST way to revive the LTTE is to WIN something from SL.
a political solution with their input, winning other demands on say, IDPs, etc.
TF SL should resist ALL these attempts and stick to its plan which has been praised even by the TNA.
a few months back more than 30,000 norwegian tamils voted for VR. but last week only 4,000 voted for some TE election.
the fallout is clear. but it is misleading. this is the time for IMMUNIZATION ((c) tata) against the DEFINITE future TE threat through colonization. that will however, wake up the LTTE but they are anyway going to wake up.
dragging them to confrontations AT OUR CONVENIENCE and accorgind to OUR TIME TABLE is the way to handle them.
this is what changed ELAM WAR-4 (we started it from where we wanted it started - trinco) from,
EW-1 (started by LTTE)
EW-2 (started by LTTE)
EW-3 (started by LTTE)

According to transparency international figures, Sri Lankans believe around 80% of the govt is corrupt and beyond redemption.
This should be the key rally call to galvanise the population into voting for them.
However, it needs a credible team that is clean. If the opposition gets their house in order first people will support you to the hilt.

agree with you that a clean team can make good use of the CPI to topple the govt.
but UNA/P/F is not the one to do that. they are equally or more corrupt.
i doubt they can shed the corrupt team. until now only govt corruption was highlighted.
near the election, (K)UNA corruption will also hit the media.
govt will use its power to SELECTIVELY "investigate" and publicise corruption. this is what the singapore govt does ALWAYS at an election!!!

The governing idea of modern social democracy is community founded on the principles of social justice. That people should rise according to merit not birth; that the test of any decent society is not the contentment of the wealthy and strong, but the commitment to the poor and weak.
But values aren’t enough. The mantle of leadership comes at a price; the courage to learn and change; to show how values that stand for all ages can be applied in a way relevant to each age.
The standard of living is higher. The expectations of the people are higher. This is a consumer age. People don’t take what they are given. They demand more. The rising cost of living is because of Terrorism – not only the amount we spend on the war but the consequences that follow the false allegation by the Terrorists and their henchmen in Parliament who travel on diplomatic Passports, enjoy all the perks of the State, desecrate the sanctity of the House of Parliament and make false allegations to the world at large – these men and women will howl and cry but fear that they may not be elected to Parliament again. They neither love their own people they love themselves.
The people love the President. His achievements are remarkable. He has been a stoic in the face of adversity. He has earnestly endeavoured to unify the nation. He is totally committed to serve the people. It is genuine unwavering and it is selfless.
We must not permit a contaminated moral environment. Let us not negotiate out of fear, But let us never fear to negotiate.We must be Patriotic. We must uphold and defend the Constitution and the Head of State-the President. We owe allegiance to the President and the Constitution as Citizens of Sri Lanka. We must uphold the norms of the Constitution apprehend and prosecute those who terrorize us by their actions and threats, then economic prosperity will follow suit. Our destiny lies in our hands. Happy Birthday Your Excellency President Mahinda Rajapaksa, we are by your side!

Here’s what I know what TI said:
[Sri Lanka has been ranked 97 among 180 countries in terms of public-sector corruption in an international corruption perception index released by Transparency International today. Sri Lanka scored 3.1 points and stood at 97th position. India has been ranked 84th in the list of 180 countries in terms of public-sector corruption, which is perceived to be highly corrupt. Nepal was at 143rd position much below India, Pakistan scored 2.4 claiming 139th position along with Bangladesh.]
ha ha ha….fucking Wessa-balla…tried another fast one uh?
Yes PONNA RW BITCH, I think it is simply marvelous that SL came at 97 (with her long drawn out war and corruption allegations thereof) when India came at 84 (with no war) and Pakistan and Bangladesh came in at 139th!!!

UNP economic policy
The UNP’s idea of economic recovery was based far too much on passivity. Their way of restoring government finances was to cut down on government spending. In so doing they not only shed unnecessary expenditure, but necessary expenditure as well. They sought to reduce the budget deficit by stopping all recruitment to the government service except in some areas such as health and education. It’s not that Sri Lanka does not have a huge revenue base. It’s just that whatever is collected as taxes by government agencies such as the Customs and Inland Revenue Departments is not sufficient to meet the necessary expenditure. Technically it is possible to cut the coat according to the cloth available and this is what the UNP government of 2001-2004 did. Expenditure was cut down by halting recruitment and even essential infrastructure work.
But the reason why most countries run into debt or beg for aid from other countries is because a section of the population requires it. But the UNP of 2001-2004 forgot that the budget is for man and not the other way around. Consequently, what we had was a government uniquely indifferent to the distress of those affected by cuts in government spending. If all governments in the world can be as indifferent as the UNP was to public distress, then no government will be insolvent. When young people came to the UNP asking for employment, the insensitive reply was that there simply was no employment. If the unemployment problem could be dealt with as simply as that, then there would be no need for political leaders. A bespectacled government peon could do the job.
It’s the same when it comes to writing off the national debt by selling off assets. Anybody can do that too as living off one’s capital is one of the easiest ways out. The 2001-2004 UNP government’s economic policy was far too passive. All the so called economic victories of the UNP between 2001-2004, was not due to ingenuity, but to insensitivity. If we took the UNP’s ‘economic’ policy just a little further, we could have introduced innovative solutions like distributing cyanide capsules to all the unemployed so that they would bite it and cease to be a problem to themselves and the world!
While the UNP’s economic policy was based for the most part in an ingrained Marie Antoinette style insensitivity to the distress of the general public, it was also a very passive marking-time kind of policy with nothing proactive done. There were no major infrastructure projects started and the UNP’s two and a half years in power was as barren as Chandrika Kumaratunga’s seven years in office. The economic policy of the UNP was in accord with its overall political outlook.ta
UNP economic policy contd
Today when the western economies are unable to fend for themselves much less for others, the UNP’s passive policies would prove to be disastrous for Sri Lanka. In the present economic crisis, Sri Lanka will have to bat for herself and it needs a government that has self reliance as the centerpiece of its policy. A can-do attitude is also most important.
This is probably the first time since the great depression of the 1930s that Sri Lanka is experiencing an economic downturn due to external events. Surviving this is going to take some deft footwork by those who wield power. To handle a crisis like this, you need a man who is a human being first and an economic manager second – and certainly not some free market automaton. Even though there is this belief that the SLFP is no good at managing the economy and that the UNP is what is needed to bring the economy around, the present columnist begs to differ. Certainly in the past, there was more than a little truth in the belief that it was the UNP that could deliver on the economic front and not the SLFP. But that situation changed after 2001 when the last UNP government was elected to power.
In the opinion of the present columnist, to have a government with an attitude like that at this moment of time when there can be widespread distress throughout the country, would spell disaster that would end with riots on the streets. What is needed now is above all a man who feels for the people and is not indifferent to public distress. It was Che Guevara who said that before becoming a revolutionary, one had to become a human being first. The same applies inter alia to economic managers as well. He, to tackle today’s crisis, should like Roosevelt be able to relate to the people and to galvanize their support to meet the hard times ahead. He like Roosevelt should be able to look after the capitalist as well as the worker, the well to do as well as the indigent, to get through this crisis. He has to be a tough decision maker who does not sound like a cynic. Mahinda Rajapakse may hopefully fill this bill not because he is an economic genius, but because he has the right attitude and the attributes to see this country through the bad times ahead.
What are the attributes needed by a leader to get out of this crisis? Apart from what was mentioned above, he has to be self reliant, without a propensity to run after foreign countries for everything. He has to be hardworking and willing get down to work instead of waiting passively for problems to go away of their own accord. He has to be a risk taker and a decision maker – not a habitual committee appointer. This is a time when personal leadership and not the autopilot must takeover.

an objective look at IDPs by noel nadesan. well done nadesan when many others cook bullcrap for their OWN consumption.
now even the TNA crappies are praising the way IDPs are handled.
BUT as nadesan says LTTE terrorists kept seperately are FURIOUS. their camps lack so many things and they are complaining badly.
this distinction has to be made when talking about IDPs.
it also means LTTE cadres held at various points CANNOT BE REHABILITATED!!!
i hope the govt will come to terms with this hard truth.
for the safety of 20 million ppl, these 10,000 terrorists MUST be eliminated. this is VERY serious. driving them to their own death is the only way possible now apart from negligence of sicknesses.
they can be fooled to get into boats with the promise of reaching australia or canada. time bombs attached to these boats will detonate them in mid sea. this would need about 40-50 boats. we captured more than 200 boats from tigers.
no one will know their fate. more importantly, they will not know the fate of each other!!!
the geneva, etc. conventions are NOT about civilian protection, defence. they are ONLY about protecting surendees.
there is no MAGIC link between treating LTTE surendees well and they giving up violence. some fools try to establish such a link risking life and property of innocent ppl.

[Asithri, India had no direct role in the destruction of the LTTE's floating warehouses]
LMSSAO!!! So you really think so brother uh?
think…think….think…
Do you think that:
1) US Satellites that picked up/traced the LTTE warehouse-ships in the “Asian seas” would ONLY convey that information to Sri Lanka, secretively, and not likely to India first (remember in US’ eyes, India is our “big brother”)?
2) Then, do you think even if the US appeared to convey that info “first hand” to Sri Lanka, that US expects SLN to go on the offensive in “Asian seas” without the blessing of India?
3) And, then do you think that SLN could have gone on this blasting of LTTE ships (Jolly Good!!!) had India decided such an action was “detrimental to a peaceful solution of the Tamil Issue in Sri Lanka”…(like in the past)???
Please, give me a break…I like to think I am dealing with our own kind here who has more savvy than these Tamil racist, RW/TNA type of cocksuckers who come here and talk OUTRIGHT COCK!
No offense meant my patriotic brother…(I know you for a very long time here and I believe at LNP)...just stating some hard facts in the typical OaOA style.

BULLSHIT!!
UNP and SLFP BOTH cannot bring any real economic development without colonization.
we are talking about near ZERO economic activity in 15,000 sq kms.
= 20million / 65610 = 305 persons per sq km
= 15,000 * 305 = 4.57 million!!
half of that is 2.29 million.
this is more than the present population of less than 300,000 in these areas.
OTOH IF SLFP (for the first time bcos they never did this) does colonization in a massive scale in these areas, the perception that SLFP is generally not good in managing the economy will be changed.
unless than happens, SL will be just fighting over its UNEXPANDABLE economy. it is about who shares how much of the UNEXPANDABLE economy. of course a small annual increase will be there to cover inflation.
fackwit astry
/*
I think it is simply marvelous that SL came at 97
*/
no it doesn't. 2/10 was the percived score. that means you illeterate moron public thiks 80% your mahinda govt is corrupt.
JVP and UNP are using SF as a “political Suicide cadre” to achieve their own aspirations.
History repeats it self. When SF resumed duties as Army Commander his first act was reduced the security detail of former Army Commander Lionel Ballagalla. SF had personal differences with Ballagalla and when he got the power, he took the revenge by reducing his security details.
Advance and Johnny will get you
Retreat and Fonny will get you

OAOA,
i respectfully disagree, mate.
pending a proper answer from casc.
1.1 may be they did convey it to india. india anyway knew it ALREADY bcos in 2004 india implemented a grand sat plan covering ALL indian territory and maldives and beyond.
but india didn't help us with this info.
1.2 india too have satelites. but they didn't help us.
2.1 YES! US sold us a ship capable doing just that in 2004.
and knew SL had 2 old russian, then indian ships capable of similar feats.
2.2 SL HAD previously destroyed LTTE arms ships singlehandedly.
3.1 india had no choice.
3.2 india liked it to some extent bcos it didn't want north korean and chinese weapons floating around its southern waters.
have a look at US pacific command conference. until last year SL was in it. this year no. but most importantly, india never was in it!!!
"Nations attending this year’s conference include: Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, Canada, France, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Republic of Korea, Thailand, Tonga, Vietnam, and the United States."
maldives, bangla, paki are in it!!!
Anybody who cannot see why these Tamil racist bastards are disappointed with India has a lot to learn.
I recall during the Vadamarachi offensive I was a student in the UK. There, in London, I recall seeing a huge demonstration outside the Indian High Commission by these LTTE sakkiliyas and one slogan in particular was etched in my mind forever. It read “Mother India, we are you children, please save us”…yes, this is how all these Tamil racist cocksuckers perpetually thought of India…..that never mind what wrong they would do in SL (or in India for that matter!), ultimately give the “TamilNadu factor,” they thought (or rather insisted) that India will always come to their rescue.
Well, the Punjabi Sikh Manmohan Singh and the Italian Sonia Gandhi proved these vile sakkilyas wrong and proved them wrong to the extent by allowing SLDF to liquidate the bitches wholesale! (thank God!)
So, this is the bitterness these bloody sakkiliyas have against India. Actually, I am told that today some of them hate India more than SL!
So, let us not be fooled by statements like “India is the common enemy of both Tamils and Singhalese” from these para-wesa LTTE Tamil sakkiliyas here!!!

Now now little a-hole, you think you can get away with this kind of derogatory statements about our soldiers that they faught against LTTE just because of fear for General Fonseka? This is the mantra came out of green monkeys like Sickramasingha, Kiriella, Karunanayake as well as Mangala Ponnaweera. A-holes like you have no idea of the bravery, valor, and courage shown by our soldiers. Perhaps an a-hole like you don't care for it. Stop insulting our warriors and get lost in to a cesspit.

[Govt. moves to win over TNA]
Nothing wrong in that even if this is really the case. Of course, MR has invited TNA for many discussions in the past too.
However, umbey ammata-hukana pak-kolla, the difference is your RW Ponnaya UNF regime of that day (of which TNA was a key partner) gave LTTE 19 shiploads of weapons to fight our boys and even allowed LTTE to have Ponguthamil rallies where effigies of our SLA boys were bayonetted, hacked, spit upon - all done to create an an acute anti-Sinhela psychosis amongst the Tamils.
Ask Sam Perera here to list all the other pro-LTTE action, i.e. traitorous crimes, that RW ponna did and he will gladly oblige (me, no I am not going to do that to you - a cheap, uneducated, brainwashed UNP whorecunt!)

"Advance and Johnny will get you

the stupidity of this was highlighted in DN at that time and i called it stupid.
we could have saved thousands (certainly not all) of our boys, if we had planned our moves better than just advancing into KNOWN minefields.
when we advance into known minefields, only one thing happens. we die.
later however, this was overcome by shock and awe, heavy arti fire on short distances (prasanna de silva), attacks from rear, possible use of cluster bombs, bypassing heavy minefileds (adampan).
sam,
but there is a hint of truth in the jonny-fonny story.
it was discussed in detail in DN.
the "hard nose" approach has its pitfalls. we must appreciate them while praising the overall victory.
OAOA,
india came to our support ONLY AFTER it was clear we will liquidate the LTTE.
b4 that, only when there was a risk of chinese weapons in SL in large numbers.
until then india played a dual role.
lack of CONSISTENCY of indian policy towards SL is the biggest problem with india.

best conditions for sugar cane, what made Brazil energy independent.
When compared to other countries we have a much lower oil demand, if we can tap this land for energy crops, people living in tose areas will hate elam.
when people who were living in those areas have a permennat income from energy crops, their life standard will go up, then people providing other services will move in to those areas from south.
The ethnic composition will be naturally adjusted.
My point is only the current government has the williness and attitude to start such a grandeur project.
Moshe,
DN said it because he loves our brothers and this man says is to ridicule our brothers. This man has the hidden intention of ridiculing and demoralizing our soldiers. This is the same psychology used by NGOs and green monkeys in early 2000. Our soldiers and people alike were highly demoralized in that time. Both my father and father-in-law were duped to think that our soldiers were just paid employees who were ever ready to run away from the battle field. It was mostly the leadership of MR that shutdown this subtle demoralization. We shall never allow these monkeys to raise their heads. I say we chop these monkey heads moment they raise it.

No offense but anyone who thinks that SLDF defeated LTTE without the blessings of India is an Ostrich in my view!
Yes, no offense mate...just stating facts to counter some Sakkili motherfuckers here who are out to make a rift between SL and India.
OaO Asithri
p.s. my inside sources told me (then) that when SLN got the info. from the US (of the LTTE floating warehouse), SL's Def Ministry had already cleared such info and SL's "action to follow" with the Indian Govt. as the last thing GOSL wanted was hostile action from the Indian Navy (which was a Blue Water force since about 25 years ago!)
Remember...
US is after the $$$Billion "Indian Market" today and if anyone thinks that the US would do anything in favor of a tiny nation such as SL (or any other country in the region) without letting India know, then I have no further comment for that person.

there is something i don't know here.
we had a blogger by the name OGRE.
at the end of the war he too praised india SO MUCH!! he called india MOTHER of SL, not even mother india!!
he said he cannot reveal the exact reasons.
but he also said he has political ambitions.
sam,
i suggest replacing "white masters" with "anti-national, separatist and neo imperialist elements, and certain western racial supremacists".
Moshey,
No fuss mate, we can always agree to disagree vis-à-vis India's influence/power in South Asia, especially concerning a "small" country such as Sri Lanka (to me this is elementary, but that doesn't matter).
What I will, however, vehemently fight herein will be whenever I see some LTTE motherfucker who comes here and tries to drive a wedge between SL and India - as I know the real reason why they would be doing so.

"then people providing other services will move in to those areas from south.

NO! we cannot leave it to chance.
COLONIZATION must happen BEFORE creating economic prosperity immediately after putting infrastructure in place.
otherwise we will not have anything else to do other than stopping tamil madu boaties.
the ethnic composition in the north MUST be DELIBERATELY adjusted.
ppl of all races who develop TOGETHER will stay together. if they develop in isolation, they will NEVER ALLOW others to come and enjoy what they call "TAMIL" economy.
this is what happened in 1970s in the north.
this is what happens in tamil madu too. NO ONE from india outside TN can go and do business there.

Asithri bro...
No offence taken. I can tell you the name of the SL official in the military hierachy that received the information and who in turn conveyed it to the GOSL. However, I'll get him and a family member into trouble. All I can say is that it came through official channels the way it is supposed to come.
This particular issue has been discussed before in this forum. There are several members who I assume are privy to that knowledge who seem to have confirmed it.
This is not a secret, and a few days ago the President publicly acknowldeged it. Either way I don't think it makes big difference where that information came from. Both the US and India helped with naval operations. India leased two large ships, and the US gave a 40 year old coast guard ship (which cost US $100 million to refurbish) during the RW regime. Without the assistance of the US and India Sri Lanka will not have a blue water capability.
I share Moshe's sentiments about India's role and motives. There is nothing inherently good or bad about any country. India came over to the winning side when it became evident who was going to win. In 89, while the IPKF was in Sri Lanka, family member and I were having a few drinks with a then recently retired Army Commander and a very senior army brigadier. Some of the stories that I heard were shocking. The JOC Commander Gen Sinha Ranatunga had been warned that if he went into operational areas without IPKF consent that his helicopter will be shot down. Gen Ranataunga alluded to fact in his recently released memoires. If you read the Premadasa-Rajiv Gandhi exchanges which I posted here earlier you would have noted the jist of the letters. India basically said that they were guarantors of the Indio-Sri Lankan agreement and that they will not leave until it is implementd. One can't blame Premadasa for doing what he did, which was to conclude a peace agreement with the LTTE and arm the LTTE against India. My feeling was that the intent then was to create a Cyprus-like situation, especially on the part of the Indian intelligence entities.
On a personal note, I spend a lot of time in India because of some family obligations. I go to a part of India that borders Bandladesh. It was from those areas in the NE of India that India's intelligence agencies and military created an armed group known as the Mukti Bhani, similar to what they did with the Tamil militant groups. The rest of course is history. The Mukti Bhani fought the Pakistan army with Indian military help, bisected then Pakistan, and "liberated" their land. Bangladesh was born. The irony is that after creating Bangladesh, India started destabalizing that country. Today there are frequent and regular border skirmishes between the Indian Border Security Force and Bangladesh Rifles along the long and porous common border.
Let me just say that when it comes to each and every country, especially the great powers (US, India and China) they all act in their own interests. It was a British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston who once remarked "Britain has no permanent friends, she only has permanent interests." Sri Lanka needs to guide her self in the same manner.
We have no permanent enemies or permanent friends, only permanent interests. To think or act otherwise is not prudent.
Cheers
OAOA,
"tries to drive a wedge between SL and India"
agree. but india must respect SL's soveriegnty. NO 13, NO federal, NO racial power sharing.
as badrakumar inferred, both india and SL are ruled by "speakers of indo-aryan languages" (they speak the same dialect!!!) a bond that will bind them IF race is the name of the game (unfortunately tamil madu and "tamil elam" jokers play it always).
tamil speakers % is DROPPING in india (soon it will be <5% - the materiality limit) and hindi % is INCREASING. which means the likelihood of india pandering into tamil madu racist demands is lessening!!!

Corruption is synonymous with our politics. All are busy uncovering the corruptions of the government, overlooking their own records. And we, as public, are criticizing the government for the corruptions…without thinking that each of us has been associated with such corruptions in some way or other. Is corruption a problem with our politics or it has risen from grassroots levels?”…One who is blaming others for corrupting the system needs to think who builds up the ’system’, who all are part of the system, and how is he/she is associated with the problem? Is he/she a part of the system

Some interesting reply comments. :) Keep it up guys.
CASC, We need more like that. Please share with us. Thanks.
First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa had called General Sarath Fonseka’s wife, Anoma, yesterday (16) and blamed the Defence Secretary for the rift between the President and General Fonseka, sources from Temple Trees said.

Is she trying to make a rift between MR & GR ??
Then the common candidate will be GR.. lol :p
B#1,
Mate, in SL starting point of all troubles are women. They are behind almost all fallouts. MR and SF fallout can’t be different.
The main problem is wives are taking power of their respective husbands into their heads strongly and volunteering to do strategic consultation to manage husbands official role.

Good to see you in this web and you said..
‘without thinking that each of us has been associated with such corruptions in some way or other. Is corruption a problem with our politics or it has risen from grassroots levels?”…
Agree but to be erect in SL is to one’s folly. I am speaking from my own experience as I am getting nowhere there and I will not give in to any type of corruption and I rather fold up my business there.
Ponna gang is preparing a letter to the people on behalf of SF. As soon as they done it Mongal's galkolla Ruwan Ferdinandas will publish it in lanka news web. Hope SF will not change the letter as he did last time. :)
A letter to the people by the General
Where is Fonseka2010 guy when you need him?
I want to put forward my 5th condition to General.
- After he becomes president legalize gay marriages. I can then marry Mangala. I'll be first gay prime minister in the world. We Sri Lankan made first woman prime minister, so why can't we have first gay prime minister
Everybody is dead silent waiting for announcement from General. Meantime I can have fun with Mangy. What a fun gang bang we had last night. I love tasting Mangy's stuff in mouth. Hot creamy oh... I love it. He loves tasting my ass. He said taste like hot fudge.
Gents,
I am saddened by the turn of events in our beloved country.
None of us expected that nine months after the defeat of the LTTE that the principals would fall out among themselves.
I do hope that sanity prevails and all this pettiness goes away. The ideal situation is for some sort of reconciliation between President MR and General SF, and that General SF returns to some meaningful and responsible position in a non-military capacity.
There needs to be an effort to get our Tamil brethern back into the political mainstream. If that means some sort of alliance between the TNA and UPFA so be it.
Disunity and the lack of understanding of our foreign threats has been the undoing of our beloved country. When Rajasinghe II worked with the Dutch to expel the Portugese little did he realize that he was replacing one imperial power with another imperial power. The power struggles between our last King and the Kandyan chiefs was exploited by O'Doyly and ultimately lead to Brtish rule over entire Sri Lanka. We face a similar situation today.

CASC;
[[I am saddened by the turn of events in our beloved country.]]
In the contrary I'd rather say, let's play to the ball.
At the point of crash, in a retro-respect, both MR and SF were in very unfair mindsets. MR played arrogant blunders since 19th May, making many ppl unhappy, disregarding common man and supporting his newly created affiliations. SF played a lusty and selfish game, to gain all the credit, shutting off other heroes and expecting the status of a royal celebrity of his own.
Now it is time to be humble. MR already shows signs of listening again. His reason for change is the threat of SF. SF is yet to understand it. The day he realizes the depth he's in, he'll be a national looser of some kind. That is a good time for him to look at matters with sense and regain his lost spot.
MR and SF both leaves threats to one another. They can't play around, especially MR. They know taht they risk victory by foolish acts as they did in SPC elections.
And this leaves nobody with a hefty majority. We do NOT need a 2/3 given to any party. Nor do we need a maha rajano with 70% votes. So it is a good balancing act.
Best twist will be if SF creates teh third normal party [we have only two normal parties yet] and gains a certain % of power. That will put him into good bargaining grounds and likely that Mr will accomodate him if he can prove his political value. All teh patriotic forces in UPFA are diminishing so we need a patriotic power house out of SLFP to drive our goals. If SF can be taht, he has my votes.
If Sf goes on UNA bootlicking, well, that will be self immolation for him. RW will give him petrol. This is the only bad possibility of the current set of events.
[[None of us expected that nine months after the defeat of the LTTE that the principals would fall out among themselves.]]
We never did. But it is how politics are. Just go thru the twists and turns of local politics.
Contd...
Contd...
[[I do hope that sanity prevails and all this pettiness goes away. The ideal situation is for some sort of reconciliation between President MR and General SF, and that General SF returns to some meaningful and responsible position in a non-military capacity.]]
How about SF leading a third normal pary with say ~15% votes with say 25 seats, and negotiating with MR on patriotic issues and a fitting ministry. Like Australia's National Party who is always holding agrarian sector and strictly guiding it.
It will be a great twist in national politics. Dinesh, Champika, Wimal etc cannnot get there as they're more political believers than guiders. SF can.
[[There needs to be an effort to get our Tamil brethern back into the political mainstream.]]
Thru national politics not racist politics.
[[If that means some sort of alliance between the TNA and UPFA so be it.]]
Nop. If MR can break TNA into pro-SL group then fine. But for me the biggest threat is if MR goes into agreements with current TNA as it is. He will loose my vote most likely.
We already have loirry loads of scum in Mr govt. We only lack patriots there. Adding TNA to the existing socialist, NGO, liberal, pro-western, crook, coprrupts etc is teh last thing we want.
[[Disunity and the lack of understanding of our foreign threats has been the undoing of our beloved country.

Not exactly. MR as long as he remains a patriots, has consent of most. SF can be that third alternative and the political regulator.
Immediately we will not see this. But in the long run things will settle at the stable points of each political force.
And do not forget the Ranil factor. Like always Ranil will save our nation. He will threaten MR using SF and bring some sanity to Mr govt and then bust Sf and stab from back, and make SF understand where in politics he belongs to. So the catalyst of the political equilibrium of current stir is Ranil and he won't need many years to make it happen.
Wait and see.
Hilarious...
Sam here is another charge of treason to your
People of Sri Lanka vs. Ranil Wickramasinghe
Sujeewa,
You have a very positive outlook and I am inspired to read what you have written.
A third front is probably a very desirable situation in our political system. As you have indicated, such a party allied with the UPFA will serve as a check against any transgressions.
I agree with you that if the General allies himself with the UNA that will be the end of him. It will destroy his reputation and whatever respect that the people have for him.
One of the fundamental problems in our system has been the lack of a credible opposition to serve the role that opposition parties typically do in democracies.
[[One of the fundamental problems in our system has been the lack of a credible opposition to serve the role that opposition parties typically do in democracies.]]
Credible opposition we did lack, but look at it now. We have a bunch of conspirators for an opposition, much much hated by all. This is not only a record low, it is a great danger in our country.
So if the general can be the regulator of govt, or the genuine leader of opposition, I take them both happily.
I do not want SF to rule SL right now, as I need MR to finish his development plans and receive whatever % gain for the nation. MR DID start development plans and they are already under way.
Only sad thing is if Sf changed completely and become a RW bootlicker forever. It is very unlikely [he already showed signs if independence] and even in that worst case we only loose SF.
Good thing about SF is that it marks the end of the arrogant and stupid brief era of Maha Rajano and unfair 2/3 votes. Everyone has to be accountable from here on.
Sujeewa,
2 pages back I said:
“Ideally, SF should create a 3rd force against corruption. Similarly to what JHU did by making a 3rd force against eelam (and a force for militarily defeating ltte).
But he should do this in a GE.”
Now I have a genuine doubt. A practical doubt which will be in my mind when I go to cast my vote.
Of course, he has to come as an independent party in a GE. If he comes independent in a PE, then he might as well come as CC and he will not be a patriot anymore.
My doubt is this, if SF goes independent in a GE, are his actions genuine? I have a few doubts about him already. How did that confidential letter went to a web site? I have a feeling that he’s acting on a personal vendetta.
And of course by the time a GE is held, govt. prop. Machine will go into over drive and create more doubt. No doubt about that.
Ps. Your 15% is a bit of an over estimate I think. I think it’ll be around 5 – 10 %.
Later on I added 2 more items in addition to corruption.
1. Corruption
2. Ethnic Integration of North
3. Stand against 13 amendment
tata;
[[ Now I have a genuine doubt. A practical doubt which will be in my mind when I go to cast my vote. ]]
Right now the first thing taht SF will do is not the best. I think he'll need some time. In fact he stands no chance in GE right now.
If he has enough to carry on in politics and genuine willingness [beyond vengeance] he'll make good next time around.
[[Of course, he has to come as an independent party in a GE. If he comes independent in a PE, then he might as well come as CC and he will not be a patriot anymore]]
Right now Ge is an impossible task for him if he chooses a new party. He'd win a seat or two. But a PE maybe an eye opening for him + Mr, taht there is a vote base for him. To do taht he shud NOT be the CC.
There is no point of being a CC and loosing which will be the case. Better right now to show your true power by coming on your own. Use these two elections as a stepping stone for 2016.
[[My doubt is this, if SF goes independent in a GE, are his actions genuine? I have a few doubts about him already. How did that confidential letter went to a web site? I have a feeling that he’s acting on a personal vendetta]]
Revenge is surely his whole driving force. I give rats care about corruption criers. Corruption is not avoidable. And there is no such pure ppl in the world to take it off when they get power.
SF is driven with vengeance.
[[And of course by the time a GE is held, govt. prop. Machine will go into over drive and create more doubt. No doubt about that]]
He'll be banished, but yet he'll be measured. As long as he does not lick RW homo-butts, he'll have a validity in a future alliance with MR.
[[Ps. Your 15% is a bit of an over estimate I think. I think it’ll be around 5 – 10 %]]
If he comes as indep for PE he'd get 10+%. As CC 35-%. If he comes for GE now he has ~5% votes with ~5-10 seats. But in 2016 he can get the required 25 seats if he remains and faces the challenge.
[[Later on I added 2 more items in addition to corruption.
1. Corruption]]
SF will NOT irradicate corruption. Anyone cannot do it in next 30-50 yrs. At least one generation of politicians and officers shud die before we do it.
[[ 2. Ethnic Integration of North]]
This is one hot topic, I believe SF and Mr agree on this, but if Mr makes an agreement with TNA this will be removed as first thing. This is the biggest fear of TNA.
[[ 3. Stand against 13 amendment]]
there will be a 13+ oneday. I only worry about what they write in it. Instead of standing against it, better if patriotic forces can influence the drafting of 13+.
The + in 13+ is for a peaceful tomorrow, it does not meanthat 13+ will be more separatist than 13. It just says that with 13+ you get pragmatic peace forever.
LTTE was defeated by a combined effort of many, including not only the President, the Secretary of Defence, the three service Commanders and the service personnel, the IGP and the Police Force, the Director General and the personnel in the Civil Defence Force but also the patriotic general public and expatriates of our nation. Therefore it would be wrong for one person, be it the President or General Sarath Fonseka, to claim that the victory was achieved due to his and his effort alone, forgetting the fact that it was a combined effort that made this victory possible. To evaluate one persons contribution against another’s is also futile, for it will only add to further misunderstandings. One drop of water however big it may be cannot and will not form an ocean. It is many drops of water that go to from an ocean.
I am planing to come to PE if General doesn't like to accept my 5 conditions. Pls send me SMS if you like to vote me. No ringtones pls.
Ranil- World first gay president to be.
after the danuna episode came to light, it is not be surprising if SF accepts (K)UNA's 10 conditions. after all these don't mean anything once elected.
so my guess is that STILL (after many reversals) SF may still accept the (K)UNA PE candidature.
IHSFDOAHABN.
Former Sri Lankan army commander and the Chief of Defence; now retired Mr. Sarath Fonseka will announce his future intentions during next few days. If decide to contest next presidential election as a common candidate or an independent candidate with the noble intention of cleaning the government machinery and the country as a whole; so be it.
In general Sri Lanka is infested with power hungry, corrupted and opportunistic politicians who are not scared or reluctant to misuse/abuse power vested on them through democratic elections. Not only they keep on doing that but encourage public servants also to follow similar suite, if they are aligning with them. This was more than evident during last 40 years or so. Eradicating this dangerous tendency cannot be expected from a typical SL politician no matter where he is coming from or which party he is representing. Therefore Sri Lanka needs an efficient manager free from dirty politics to hold highest public office with executive powers.
Mr. Fonseka may be the guy we were waiting to take us through from present chaos situation to democratic normalcy which is free from corruption and lawlessness. However, he cannot do that by signing memorandum of understanding or agreeing to various types of conditions with existing politicians. He should contest next presidential election as an independent candidate seeking support from all patriotic elements. He should publish his impartial manifesto with promise to clean the entire country from corruption and restore law and order completely. The island nation desperately needs a patriotic governing body that is free from political attachments, family obligations and racial inclinations to take impartial decisions on the basis of national interest. Such a governing body can eradicate corruption completely from government institutions as well as get rid of abuse/misuse of power in public offices.
Let us hope that Mr. Fonseka is the guy to do exactly that.
Patriots,
I am on my way back to the USA from our motherland after a nearly month long visit.
I attended the Expatriates Business Forum sponsored by the President. It was held on Nov. 14 and 15th. It was a very grand, very well organized, event attended by over 500 expatriates, exceding intial expectations of 150 attendees. Now I know why this team won the war .. it was superb organization and teamwork all the way. The credit goes in large measure to Mr. Chandrapala Liyanage, Assistant to the President and the chief organizer.
A number of politicians, led by MR, the PM, and Ministers G.L. Pieris, Wimal Weerewansa, Douglas Devananda, etc spoke at the meeting. Expatriates, Sinhala and Tamil, came from all over the world, with large contingents from the US, UK, Australia and Germany among others.
There were presentations by officials from the Board of Investment, the Export Development Board, Dept of Commerce, the Central Bank and the Tourism Promotion Bureau. The message was: Sri Lanka is open to International Business and Infrastructure Development, and welcomes entrepreneuers with Tax Holidays, and a variety of other very valuable incentives.
The only negative news was that some attendees complained of difficulties getting the bureaucracy to respond quickly .. hopefully, these will be ironed out. Wimal Weerawansa said that the "Bamunu Kula" bureaucratic holdouts responsible for these barriers, should be eradicated by the diaspora patriots bringing new ventures to Lanka!
I, myself, will be bringing two projects to Sri Lanka, one of them being in Alternative Energy.
I am very impressed with the rapidity with which infrastruture is being developed, not only in the North and the East, but all over the country.
Brand new roads with new bridges and flyovers are springing up everywhere. Several Highways are under construction (Colombo to Katunayake airport and Colombo to Matara, for example). Two major coal fired Power Plants that will nearly double the Power Generation Capacity from 1GW to 2GW are being built. The Colombo Port is being trebled in size, while the Hambantota port will be bigger than the expanded Colombo Port. An international airport, larger than the Katunayake airport, will be completed 16km to the East of Hambantota. A massive one-stop government administration complex is being built outside Hambantota .. it will be bigger than all government buildings housing Government buildings in Colombo put together. Everything new in Hambantota is designed to exceed and surpass Colombo in size! Heeere comes .. the Hambantota megalopolis. I didn't get to see the Mankulam new City development.
Real estate in South Colombo is somewhat depressed, presenting opportunities. I was looking for a high rise aprtment and found many Tamil-owned units for sale along Galle road from Dehiwala to Kullupitiya .. are they leaving enmasse? Unemployment is 5% compared to > 10% in the US, and interest rates are declining fast.
I am impressed with the opportunities available for investment and setting up businesses with good growth potential. I am convinced that the pent up energies of our beloved nation are finally being released and harnessed to benefit our people by a team of leaders with imagination! I think it will be hard to recognize Sri Lanka a decade from now! LTTE Diapora monkeys will die from jealousy!
Forget the nay sayers, Patriots! Gird up your loins, join hands, and join-in the nation building now! It is now or never!
I am going to contribute my two cents worth in every way I can!
Ape' Dayabara Mau Bimata, Jayawewa!
Ananda,
Your write-up gave me Goosebumps.
Goosebumps of hope.

Ananda-USA,

Yes bro, G.L. Pieris, Wimal Weerewansa, Douglas Devananda, etc. speeches were good. However one thing they all failed to let us know, what their contingency planning and how they would execute.
What are your thoughts?

Hi Ananda,
Welcome Back. Good to hear from you and glad things are going well in SL. It is good to hear that the government is doing its best to get the expatriate community engaged in future development in SL. I think expatriate can help convert SL, the same way the Indians did.
Ananda;
This is where we need to leave the petty topics like SF issue and let the man finish what he started.
I think we shud leave SF with his own future. If he commits suicide the so be it.
However these come and go topics like SF, Muthuhetti et al, gives the much needed cover for MR and clan from all evil forces; pussycats, RAW, hitman, jackal [or anything of that sort]. The temp hope that brings into our enemies mind is keeping them in a opium style calm, in their own dream world.
For an ex, all the enemies of MR are jointly working for Common Candidate who is definitely not getting a 40% vote no matter who he is.
For that matter SF maybe doing a favor for the nation by keeping lime light.
Ananda;
I will copy your post into elsewhere. It is a message worth spread.
Hope OK.
CASC, OAOA,
SL is increasingly important to the USA.
USA is desperately seeking bases. PREDATORs cannot do all the work by remote control.
Bases available to the USAF for operations in South Asia are in Thailand and Singapore. The US has a long-standing defence treaty relationship with Thailand and use of a Royal Thai naval air station in U Tapaho. It has a similar defence treaty arrangement with Singapore. But the above-mentioned US DoD study notes that New Delhi is 1600 nm from Bangkok bases in central Saudi Arabia and 2600 nm from Singapore.
Therefore the US began to actively look for and seek basing opportunities in countries closer to India from 1990. In this process, the US availed itself of intelligence, military, diplomatic and economic leverage and access enjoyed in the target countries by its main security partners i.e., Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and Singapore.
Sri Lanka was a prime candidate for two reasons:
1. The central position of the island between the Straits of Malacca and Hormuz. The US DoD study observes that Sri Lanka’s infrastructure for basing opportunities are excellent. The USAF, DIA team that visited,
