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

I too felt very sad about the MI-24 crash. It is highly possible that we lost four war heroes in this crash. Maintainance and improvement of our forces, specially the navy and air force is very important in meeting future threats.
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. A leader who is willing to hand over the country to true multi-ethnic leaders.
Wikramasigha for Overall Executive PM,
Ganshan for Tamil Executive PM, Hakeem for Muslim Executive PM, and Samaraveera Sinhala Executive PM.
Fonseka2010 -Sri Lanka First!!
Yes We Can!!
This is CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD.!!

අන්තිම පොටෝ එකේ තොල් රතු කට්ටියත් ඉන්නෙ,
mottapala you are not an idiot after all. you set and exemplary mission for SF.
thusitha,
wrong.
1. there are STRICT security clearences for ALL non defence staff. each and every one of them are carefully selected.
UNLESS superceded by a top officer.
2. chain of command at the time of the act MUST be established for warcrimes BS alleged DURING that time.
UNLESS it is customary to do so!!!
Just exactly in what way is SF a traitor? Since when did contesting an election in a multi party democracy become traitorous? Was General Eisenhour a traitor?
as some have pointed out, UNTIL nomination is handed over, no one can be CERTAIN SF will be the (K)UNA candidate.
there is still room for power hungry RW to make a comeback!!
pottu,
some facts. not decisions.
1. SF is NOT a traitor, not yet.
2. SF is entitled to his politics.
3. SF is associating the TOP traitors of the nation on a DAILY basis now.
4. SF has promised to give ministerial positions to UNCONVERTED terrorists and CONTINUING traitors of the TNA. this was a condition to accept SF as the (K)UNA candidate.
5. SF destroyed the war winning team by,
5.1 publicly mud slinging at his OWN TEAM MEMBERS in the resignation letteS that went public.
5.1.1 not even a personal resignation in a company goes public!!!
5.1.2 his resignation letter has defence sensitive matters and should NEVER have gone public
5.1.3 he had allowed (K)UNA to meddle with his resignation letter. (K)UNA later said its somewhat disaapointed with the actual resignation letter!!
5.2 making PUBLIC statements that are not acceptable against the team
5.3 going to supreme court to DEMAND the land GR painstakingly arranged for SF with consideration to his 2 daughters, etc. and is anyway planning to give to him for the services he rendered.
this is an UNUSUAL gift.
6. the other team members also have their problems but tried to handle it WITHIN the team as it should be.
7. despite team problems there is no justification for a patriot to team up with the TOP traitors of the country, agree to their conditions.
8. gen eisenhower didn't agree to conditions laid down by anti-US groups.
BTW i'm looking at things mainly from a defence pov.
politics too as far as defence is affected or concerned.
SF is a traitor by associating known “deshadrohees” RW, Mongala and Kiriella gona’s as well as Mano Gonason the terrorist. He has sold his war hero credits which he achieved collectively with MR, GR and others for personal reasons.
We cannot afford to let him reverse the march towards true unity of the nation.
Unless he turns back 180 degrees bringing whole opposition alliance down before or after the election which highly unlikely now, he will be branded as the traitor of the highest order.
Mr. Fonseka has lost his head by expecting extraordinary rewards for leading the SLA during the war. He lost his head because of personal ego and unwarranted arrogance towards his team mates. He lost his head by seeing RW, Mongala, Kiriella and Mano Gona as saviours.
He is determined to ruin many people’s lives simply because they didn’t like him, if he ever becomes the next executive president of SL.
SF also cannot beat MR in the forthcoming election with all his supporters and well wishers. Only MR could make him win, therefore MR has to keep his head firmly on control between now and the Election Day. MR also required controlling his over enthusiastic supporters without letting them to lose their heads also.
A miracle has happened?
Would you believe all the lot
Mangala, Ranil, Laksman Kirialla, Jayalath Jayawardhana, Siri Jayathnga, LTTE Agents, Mano Ganeshan etct, etc, have turned into true heros overnight?
Or is it more possible SF has turned into a traitor just to service his ego?
What is more possible?
In my dream:(Not Reality my Nostalgia)
December 20th:
In the interest of Nation, SF has withdrawn his candidacy from the Presidential Election.
This will pave the way to MR to be elected virutually unopposed.
Consequently this will enable 2/3 victory in GE that is enable constitutional and electoral reform.
The rumours are rife in the political quarters that SF phenomena was just a political strategy to put the last nail on the LTTE death coffin and burry it 1000 km under the sea.
Please wake up Udana wake up. Smell the irritant smell of the coffee of reality.

Rivira-General Fonseka holding a planning session with top scum of Sri Lanka.
Rivira-General and top scum are actively seeking money from western countries to finance his campaign
Have we seen the lowest in General Fonseka's illustrious carrier to team up with the top scum of Sri Lanka and seek foreign money to run an election campaign.
PriyaS
Machan, brother, I read your posts with interest. I took it all very keenly and at the end, I came to the conclusion that you are still the same SL patriot I came to know in DW and that you have not changed.
How I wish the predictions you note in your posts are going to come true!
Nothing would make me more happy than to see a "Trojan Horse" arse-fuck the traitorous RW Ponnaya (and his clan) by dumping them, after using them to win the PE.
However, macho, I don't think that it is realistic or at least, going to be a cake-walk.
The word out there is...
RW ponna MF bastard, knowing that possibility, has got SF to formally agree to all the conditions to prevent such and I am told those legal documents can and will be produced in the event of such, to the Supreme Court of SL to impeach SL immediately for "non-fulfillment."
As we know, RW is a ponna idiotic parawesa but here he appears to have some of the best legal/constitutional advisors in the nation who have seen to it that this is all tied into a neat package in favor of RW and that SF will be screwed in the end! (well, not really as, if, SF becomes another traitorous MF like RW, LK, etc. then it is a moot point).
Anyhow bro, I for one will never go against you in my typical OaOA fashion to oppose your views here, but will have a civil debate with you (like I am having now) as I know deep down, you are a solid SL patriot.
Sahodaraya, subha pathum obata!
OaO Asithri
I hope this will happen soon.
Any INGO meddling directly or indirectly with internal politics will be kicked out.
SK
[The critical part of the discussion is "Has SF penetrated the support bases of MR?" My analysis at at today is that there has not been any such.]
Agree, NOT AT ALL.
I was in SL until few weeks ago and the disgust I heard from the average man/woman about SF teaming up with RW traitor was indeed a surprise.
Some even spat on the road when they talked about it, using the word “nodhokin” which told me the extent of their disgust.
Of course, in Colombo RW bitch always had a good following and here the tone is now “we are fully behind SF” …I am simply amazed at that lot (including some of my own close friends/relatives and even some close classmates machos from RC!) and listening to them I say to myself silently, shout as much as you want you fucking kooky lot, but this will all be decided by the “real Sri Lankans” like they did in 2005!!!
OaO Asithri
If SF has signed these legal documents of his impeachability and if (this is a big if at the moment- we want to keep it that way) SF wins forget the documents. A sentence or clause in a legal documents or the document itself cannot stop a bullet of a gun held by a person with wounded super ego. He was not moving people around for nothing. He was not crying for media exposure for nothing. Everything is well thought of and well placed.
I am glad that the Government did not take any chance. Now, People, let us not take any unwarranted risk.
SF is not in it to spoil it. He is in it to win it. Not to spoil it. Spoiling, that will come later
TropicalS
[And that is in the weakness the govt has; it is seen as drunk with power and abusive. No kiddin' it's true. I now live in Colombo and see this first hand - The fckers behave like drunk monkeys with uzis. Some attitude adjustments will have to happen on the govt side to keep the people on their side, and it will happen.
MR will win this election, SF pro'ly will come to his senses and step down, leaving the clowns left feeling fcked.]
Greets mate! Long time no hear! Hope things are well.
Anyway, FULLY AGREE with you re. above.
One of the biggest “turn-off” of people I met in SL has been this “drunk with power and abusive” on the part of some kith and kin and hochos of this govt.
I myself have seen it in clubs and even in restaurants of some of the 5-star hotels. At times some of this ugly side has come in front of visiting foreign business tycoons/dignitaries etc. who are in SL to enquire about or start business ventures and I have felt fucking shamed that on some occasions, I did not know where to hide my face!
I have made my own representations about these “no-no” behaviors to the powers that be, but find that it is the best I can do without ruffling feathers unnecessarily.
In fairness I can say that on some occasions the retribution on the errant party (will not mention details here due to obvious reasons) was swift and humiliating. In one case a big honcho’s son (I know the family) was asked to go and apologize to a waiter and he did that very humbly (of course, the 20-something fucker was sober then!)
Anyway, this is nothing new in SL. I have seen this all along in my life (irrespective of what the GOSL was of that day) growing up in SL (wish I can relate some real eye-opening, jaw-dropping stories of “power and abuse” I have, especially from my teenage days in Colombo, but alas, this is not the time, nor the forum!)
Cheers mate...hope things are wll with you!
OaO Asithri
Why is SF not reluctant and eager to write his own death warrant unless he has already determined that the death warrant itself would soon become a piece of toilet paper?
IF SF is honest (has no such despotic intentions) then he should come forward and acknowledge that the Government acted (intentionally or unintentionally) with duty of care and responsibility and he over stepped his mandate.
Pottu
[Just exactly in what way is SF a traitor? Since when did contesting an election in a multi party democracy become traitorous? Was General Eisenhour a traitor?]
Ado Pottu, I hope you are who you are not that motherfucker “Rana” who still comes here in multiple IDs.
Here’s the difference for you (in case you are brain-dead these days):
Gen. Eisenhower DID NOT team up with either Russian or ex-Nazi hardcores or sympathizers when he was campaigning to be elected as the President of the US!
Need I spell out more? Will do gladly if you confirm you are fucking brain-dead these days!!!

They all attended the same rehab classes as the LTTE child-soldiers and I think thereby they have now become solid "heroes" in our nation!
LMSSAO!!! Truly LMSSAO!!!

Despotism:
This is not about SF being a retired military general.
This is about his ego and
his despotic manures.
Dear Gentlmen,
Rivira is owned by a closed relative of MR. he is a nephew of MR who was served under Gajaba regiment. Therefore, please take the articles published in a moderate manner.
Everybody tries to paint SF as a traitor. I too voted for MR 2005 and most probably not vote for him again. The victory against LTTE is not a license to loot the government coffers.
If SF also not suitable (as some mentioned as a traitor) I will spoil my vote.
Does MR is with patriotic people currently? He was but not today…!
Now showing true colours.
Given below is the editorial of Divaina.
What a sarcastic write up it is?
http://www.divaina.com/2009/11/28/editor.html
It tries to highlight that the security is only required for MR and only a few.
According to the article SF is not among the few.
This is third class journalism. What else. Shameless..!

I heard a different story.
SF has rehabilitated all the lot.
So we have nothing to fear.

Gen Fonseka fallen prey to conspiracies - Ven Uduwe Dhammaloka
Dharma SRI ABEYRATNE
The Jathika Hela Urumaya will not support General Sarath Fonseka at the Presidential Election since he has fallen prey to certain international conspiracies hatched against the country, the JHU said yesterday. Four JHU parliamentarians told a media briefing held in Colombo that General Fonseka is about to betray the victory achieved by much sacrifice.
They totally rejected that a statement by a UNP parliamentarian that the JHU was eagerly looking forward to welcome General Fonseka if he contested for the Presidential election.
The JHU will never do so as he [General Fonseka] has joined hands with parties who tried to bring the country to its knees through conspiracies hatched by international forces. “If JHU gets a chance it would prevail on General Fonseka of his unwise decision that would snare the country into a trap set by international forces,” Venerable Uduwe Dhammaloka Thera said.
The JHU hasn’t taken any decision to support General Fonseka at the upcoming election and the JHU will support President Mahinda Rajapaksa who led the country to liberate it from the clutches of LTTE terrorism that dragged for three decades.
Ven Udawatte Nanda, Ven Alawwe Nandaloka, Ven Aparakke Pagnananda, and Ven Akmeemana Dayarathana Theras were present.
Interestingly SU da man once said that he was abused(by who ?) and Assithiri are having some conversation.
The world is going to fall apart!!!
Asithri has never abused me in his posts. Even if one has done so my heart is too small to hold grudges against others as I have many ohter things to keep in my heart.
Again for the record I do not change my stands (views) to please my parents, teacher or boss (in the case of boss I might choose to do as I am told but I will not think as I am told) or anybody. I do not express my views displease other people either. I do so only for communication, to learn.
Also I have never used abusive language. I resent such abuse even by my best friend against my worst enemy.
Nothing has changed.
However I have always appreciated people's strong attachment to their country of birth.
I always said that bloggers have not abused me here. They are too good to abuse me. That is goodness of their hearts.
I will appreciate all bloggers extend this decency shown to me to all the other bloggers too, regardless their views. This is my view. No further comment will be made about this non-issue.

http://video.dailymirror.lk/videos/201/exclusive-interview-with-general-fonseka
Noteworthy:
“So they thought that from the day I decided to remove my uniform their responsibility to look after my security was over. Most probably then that is the “Api Wenuwen Api” attitude. What can a “Ranaviruwa” expect in the future?”
Well Un-General, you are becoming a pathetic COCKSUCKER like the LTTE and RW ponna. If any “Ranaviruwa” also in the future takes a path of ganging up with pro-LTTE anti-SL traitors like Ranil, TNA, SLMC, etc. then yes he too will be (should be) treated like a paraya in the country. The fact that you were once a “Ranaviruwa” does not give you a blank check to go on a program of conniving with the TNA/LTTE terrorists (whom you once fought, but now your buddies) and then still expect the same gratitude, honor that you once enjoyed from the GoSL (and us by extension) as before.
“So if something happens to me the government must take responsibility and I expect the people to understand this–I know they are following all this. This is the way they put into practice their “Api Wenuwen Api” programme”
Another fucking Ranil / Lasantha type of pathetic COCKSUCKER CRY, now crying like a baby who dropped his teet! Bloody Un-General, you are a FUCKING insult to our Ranavirus and SLA! Yes, you by repeatedly taking “Api wenuwen Api” into your harangue to insult the GoSL is causing much harm to our Ranavirus’ welfare and that is truly appalling. Un-General, what your idiotic (we know you have no formal education, but that is no excuse) mind cannot rationalize is that this “Api Wenuwen Api” was a fund established to help the wounded/disabled soldiers and to date through that fund an immense amount of good work has been done, including the granting of over 10,000 houses to our Ranavirus (just to name one benefit).
For you to take that slogan and cast insult on GoSL for cheap political mileage is truly disgusting!
You are fast becoming close to what a LTTE motherfucker was to, many of us!
SICK sons of B ITCHES!!
sometime back i gave a formula to calculate MR's UNPOPULARITY. it was something like....
= MAX{38%, 77% - (ELECTION DATE - 19/05/2009)/30*4%}
now SF's UNPOPULARITY in the UNP formula...
= MIN{40%, 77% - (number of days under RW's leadership)*1%}
FF I agree, SF is over playing the security card, its always, my security, my house, my land, my my my and mine.
“Api Wenuwen Api”
EXACTLY!
as a team member you should stand by your team.
if you can't, you are useless for the team.
BTW for the information, the AWA program looks after ranaviruwos EXCELLENTLY!!
this is DISPICABLE behaviour.
A MAN IS JUDGED BY THE COMPANY HE KEEPS!!!!!

it is very sad the SPEED at which a HERO is becoming "one of them".

Sad and true, man has shown he has bad judgment, in selecting friends, another disqualification for presidency.
TS,
was waiting to hear your opinion on the matter.
thanks.
also wud like to hear what NOLTTE='s take on this.
Man is judged by his company. True, for a large extent.
In SF's it needs to be modified.
Man's intention is judged by his choice of company.
SF has been clearly manipulative.
I am sure, initially Mangala, Ranil and NGO began to fish in trouble water sensing the difficulties faced by the Government with SF.
Then fishermen become the fish. Fish became the fisherman. For his purpose perfect choice of company. Helpless, powerless bunch of people. Good choice for his purpose.
desha,
a GRAVE disqualification.
desha,
a GRAVE disqualification.
it has come to our attention that some anti-SL POLITICAL ELEMENTS WITH LONG CONNECTIONS TO THE MILITARY that betrayed the country by the CFA are planning to damage the morale of SLDFs, damage SLDF property, affect recruitment, pave the way for undue military purchases with the hope that they can get hold of the subject of defence in future, exploit their military contacts to the benefit of the tamil elam struggle.
we urgently request the defence secretary - the architect of the war - to look into the matter and take appropriate action.
old links with the present military should not be allowed to achieve SELFISH and ANTI-SL political ends.
it is in this context the Mi-24 crash and many other possible future disasters should be investigated.

QUESTION:
There are allegations that the Army commander was involved in a fraud when procuring arms for the Army
ANSWER BY SF:
All arms were procured for the Army through the Company Lanka Logistics. the Chairman of that Co. is Gatabaya Rajapakse, the Defense Secretary. All money dealings and transactions were done by them. We only do the technical analysis on them. Payments for them are all authorized by them.
the interview
may be for the first time SF is lying.
BAD COMPANY has taught him to lie too!!
Moshe:
I think he is lying too. I have only a rough idea how the military purchase were done. I think only big things like (Migs) were purchased through the defence company.
For the benefit of all, can you please make thorough argument to convince others why he must be lying.
Thanks!
In 2005 MR received 4,887,152 votes RW got 4,706,366 180,000 difference.
Its hard to think among the sinhalese who trusted MR in 2005 would defect him now.
To win SF need to keep all Sinhalese voters RW got, difficult. We already have many UNPers in the working committee protesting his candidacy, 3 ot of 65 have even voted against him.
Some UNPers would not vote for SF
The position of the independent sinhalese in the 4.7Mill votes is unclear.
If RW came 99% would have gone to MR, most generouse assesment 50% split.
Therefore
Minority vote is essential for SF
Out of the 4.7 mill RW got ~250,000 came from Nuwara eliya, when Thonda was with him, now Both Thonda and the othet upcountry guy are with MR so lets award generousely a 50-50 split.
Another ~380, 000 of the 4.7 Mil came from Eastern province, MR got only ~180, 000.
Eastern people speccially minorites are not sensitive to the "SF ture patriot" campaign, non of the minority parties in UNF has substantial influence on eastern province. We saw that during eastern provincial electons, beside there are massive develomnet schems underway in east.
A 50-50 split will be very generose.
So SF's last hope, Northern tamils, and some Sinhalese vote from MRs ~4.8mil block.
We saw from the election held in Jaffna and from counting the IDPS, the total populaton of North might be only about 450, 000.
Eligible voters might be about 225, 000
Even if SF gets 100% of this it is not enough to counter the loses in East and Nuwara eliya.
So SF's only hope, Sinhalese in the MR's 4.8 mill vote.
He need to break at least 1mil
up hill task given the fact he has been unable to defect at least a padesiya saba mantree from UPFA so far
are there any idiots who believe this crap????
i guess there are.
for their information.
1. SF was also in the company along with the triforces chiefs.
2. GR was the chairman.
3. the chariman's apporval was required ONLY for very high value items.
others can approve lesser purchases.
4. lanka logistics was NOT the sole purchaser.
5. lanka logistics was the sole purchaser of ONLY the following items.
no BULLSFIT can be told about this bcos it was gazetted!!
what only lanka logistics could buy. any other could buy all the other stuff
6. HICORP the company of danuna sells more than these things to the SLA!!! in other words, HICORP is dealing with other stuff that are not dealt with by lanka logistics
"Our Organization is based in Sri Lanka with presence in the USA. We are specialized in integrated defense systems / Radar systems / Body armor / Ballistic helmets / armored vehicles and many other related products in Sri Lanka. We are a registered supplier for the Sri Lanka Army"
so SF is wrong.

Why didnt he claim some time in June or little later that he got hold of the purchases, got rid of the corruption there and cleaned the army?

my my politicians DO lie!!
war heroes don't lie so much.
we have a politician or a war hero???? i think a 99% politician and a 1% war hero.
desha, su,
and he also said in august that "we" cancelled a LARGE mortar shipment from china.
The newly-appointed Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Sarath Fonseka, said on Wednesday that the island nation had cancelled the import of ammunition valued at $200 million from China and Pakistan following the end Eelam War IV.
(excuse me, i'm gonna unleash the kid in me......)
liar liar pants on fire!!
Thanks Moshe.
This should have given some food for thought at least for some.
The core of the problem is ego, nothing else
Should we let Sri Lanka burn in the hell-fire of his ego?
"All arms were procured for the Army through the Company Lanka Logistics."
This might be a WARNING shot. Now GR's turn. Let's see how he gonna response to this.
Yeah. He will be silence. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks again in advance.
Dear Asithri
In 2005 Man-gala was one of the leading personalities in the MR election campaign.
Was Man-gala a patriot at that time? Answer is No.
Today also he is a traitor as he was.
But MR got the job done from him.
What is the problem of using him again for SF.
Assume this scenario, if all of a sudden Ha-ke-em declares that his party support for MR, does that mean MR become a traitor? If Man-gala announces that he will support MR, does that mean MR become a traior? It was reported that MR tried to take Mangi again in to his side.
After the general election 2004, when it come to select the speaker, JHU voted with UNP. UPFA wanted to appoint somebody else like DEW.
Today JHU with MR. So what is the big issue.
Important thing is not the characters like RW, Mangi, Mano Gon-son etc in the PE but the voters. If people rally around SF and vote for him then whatever the result RW, Mangi, Mano has to accepted.
Do you think SF is not matured to understand the politicos in this era?
He is far ahead than everyone.
I agree that people like RW, Mangi and other fellows are dangerous, but because of the weak opposition MR started playing hell in all the avenues.
You give me an example for any single area where MR got succeeded after 18th May 2009. SF wanted to recruit more people to ARMY and colonized the North. But that proposal gunned down assuming it would strength the SF.
"Do you think SF is not matured to understand the politicos in this era?"
No SF is not mature enogh. Only defencewire bloggers know about politicos. We should accept whatever Moshe Dyan, Swarnajith Udana, Sujeewa Kokawala say.
I have never said that SF is politically immature. Emotionally may be, could be and/or can be, but not politically.
He is playing Master's game of politics, power, deceit and manipulation.
(Again this is the only thing I can read from available facts- I do not for sure- You decide for yourself).
This master game could turn into a monster game for Sri Lanka.
DW said...

This might be a WARNING shot. Now GR's turn. Let's see how he gonna response to this.
Yeah. He will be silence. Better safe than sorry.

Every one has a right to express themselves in this blog. Whether people are going to believe it or not depend on how good you argument is.
Currently many hold the opinion that SF is not suitable to become the President of the country as he does not have enough experience at this point in time. That does not exclude him for presidency in the years to come.
I am of the opinion that SF arrival in to the PE race is good for the SL politics, if he end up staying in the opposition for some time. Even if he doesn't, the shape of the SL opposition would be for ever change.
Another thing about SF dealing with Mano Ganeshan. SF is acting as a Politician now. That is what politicians does. People have to stop thinking him in terms of a War hero now. Weren't our politicians ready to cut a deal with VP? So what is so wrong about Mano Ganeshan. He can be a known LTTE supporter, but we have plenty of them. We have to one stage or the other deal with them.
Moshe Dyan said...
"are there any idiots who believe this crap????"
i was refering to the statement made by a LIAR that ALL purchases for SLDFs were made through lanka logistics.
-------------------------------
Hopefully GR would respond in a gentlemanly fashion. GR should stay away from the politics and use some one like Udhaya Nanayakkara or our defence.lk to respond to this. No need to send attack dogs at SF. He is the only one who has kept his image clean, and hopefully he would continue to do so without getting dragged in to the mess SF creates in the initial stages of his political career.
Hopefully SF smarten up soon.
At least now the blog is slowly developing in to a proper-dialog.
If we dig deep in to commissions and waste of public money, who is lying who is not, MR regime would be thousand time guilty than SF. If total credit of wining the war goes to MR [as he claims being the head of state] he should also be responsible for any corruption that took place. After all SF had only 1% of shares in Lanka Logistics. Didn't GR bragged that all the purchases were made through this company and thats how they got rid of corruption?
What I have noticed is the first term of any president is usually good, trying to do the correct thing and impress people. Next term become total rubbish. It is something like close to retirement everybody wants to make their future stable so resort to whatever means of securing that. We can see MR has already started these projects.
SF probably will not win the elections. But his entry in to the battle has already done good things. The invincibility of Rajapaksha regime has disappeared overnight. Suddenly the are aware of the common people.
I remember military pundits in this blog wondering what the next move of SLDF would be when we were in a kind of military stalemate. They were wondering what the hell SF was doing as the blog pundits had better plans. But finally SF did the job in a way no one had predicted.
He is a great tactician. Lets wait and see. I may be wrong.
1. "All money dealings and transactions were done by them. We only do the technical analysis on them. Payments for them are all authorized by them."
On 27 november 2009
---------------------------------------------
2. The newly-appointed Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Sarath Fonseka, said on Wednesday that the island nation had cancelled the import of ammunition valued at $200 million from China and Pakistan following the end Eelam War IV.
Around august 2009
-------------------------------------------------
transactions include return of goods.
“technical analysts” don’t make statements about “transactions” to the outside. It is upto “them” to say it!!
(p.s. - and "they" said it, THEN!!!)
thusitha,
the only way to SAY it is to do an investigation.
statements, replies and other things are BULLSHIT or BULLSFIT.
a statement will attract another statement and then politics. an investigation will reveal everything.
hopefully GR will do it. the current investigation, as i hear, is a sham. no one has started it yet.
mottapala,
the tactics were of the TEAM, not SF's.
it was not regular bloggers that brought that up but eric bailey who compared SF to a failed general in the american civil war and called for his sacking!!!!
little did he knew planning was not done by SF and by sacking him we would not achieve anything!!
he (or anyone for that matter) need a PROPER TEAM for tactics. currently his team is ALL LOSERS ONLY.
it is a historical fact that WHOEVER joins them also lose!!! lol!
Moshe,
I am loosing respect for you. You are becoming more and more polarized as Asian Tribune.
1. Here SF the civilian responding to a personal allegation
2. He is making a statement as CDS.
mottapala,
this whole SF affair has,
1. made friends enemies
2. made some enemies, friends!
3.made some enemies, STRANGE BED FELLOWS.
MR and SF are responsible for the fallout. GR, no.
between MR and SF, SF is more at fault.
BTW it is not the task of CDS to make public statements on weapons transactions!!
KTR has tamil elam at heart (he is peaceful though). i have SL at heart.
i have no stake in SL politics.
but i have a stake in SL defence.
Thanks for your clarification.
So Moshe at best SF is another politician.
However, I think he is more than another politician.
If Deshapaluwa's memory is correct (I also vaguely remember something like that I laughed at even the suggestion) the opposition's common candidate being SF floated even before the end of the war. I wish that Deshapaluwa can find the reference.) then this is something much more sinister.
I have nothing against a military person becoming the President. I do not find anything wrong with in fact if his motive is service. This is just ego. Our Nation cannot be allowed to bedevoured by one's hungry ego.
Continuing form previous post:
When SF announced VP's death I felt a little awkward. Then I thought it was done with the approval of MR. Whether we like MR or not he is our President. Our military general cannot surpass him. That is one of the most important foundations of democracy. I tend to believe that these anecdotes might be just a tip of a huge iceberg.
"Sri Lanka belongs only to Sinhalese" perturbed me. His Kieth Noire statement troubled me. (It was despotic at best). The way he gave cold shoulder to Kannangara disturbed me.
There were such criticisms during the war days but we did not want to pay attention since the opposition lost its credibility because they created all sort of stories. But, that loss is a loss to the Nation.
Then he spoke about Tamil Nadu politicians. It should not have come from him. It was too political. I think MR and GR might have been fighting with their general as well as VP, Ranil, Mangala and foreign forces.
Then he was moving personnel around. If he is an astute military person he should have been sensitive enough not to cross the boundaries. The security arrangement he made in Ambalangoda looked like a Government with in a Government. Why did he act too audaciously if his motives were innocent? He was testing the water. MR had to act. If MR's suspicions were wrong then only decent thing he could have done was not to become even more audacious but to take a step backward.
If SF's motive was genuine service he should have resigned and then kept away from the limelight for a while before he started to build up a political movement. Instead he is trying to use UNP's and JVP' vote base to come to power. Even though UNP and JVP were netting SF the fish from the troubled water initially now UNP and JVP are netted by SF
I believe that in the war time MR/GR chose to put up with him just for the sake of the war effort. This is my interpretation. Even though I have confidence in my interpretation I cannot be absolutely certain. I am just connecting dots. Nevertheless, SF has not given any reason for me to revise this opinion. I do not believe that he is going to withdraw his candidacy after 17th of December. He is in it to win it. Whether he can do it or not is another matter. He might withdraw if he thinks it is going to be a humiliating defeat. He would give some reason. (Still 17th has not come. So Ranil could step in too. He could say due to prevailing unrest in the party... or public outcry for UNP candidacy..)
Once, about someone's murder or being bashed up Ranil had called MR and had said "This murder/bash up will also be deposited into your account." So Ranil was not thinking MR is responsible for the event. Who did Ranil think was responsible? Was Ranil trying to create a division between MR and another party?
That (the time of war) was the worst of time. Now we are out of that time. For the corruption and lawlessness prevailed in the country the only culprit is not the constitution even though it contributed. It was the LTTE, the main culprit. Now we have chance. It is to the credit of MR even when fighting in so many fronts some decency prevailed in the country. If UNP helped things could have been much easier.
Now we have a chance. I do not want it to be taken away from our people just because of one person's un-satiated ego. I do not want people to take a chance on this. Of course it is their decision. Let us hope the very best for the country. Even if SF comes to power let us wish that he will not be demonic as he is demonstrating that he would be.

tamil communities around the world are ecstatic about maithili's AL (bio sciences) performance.
well done maithili in your studies!
fantastic!! 2 mahabooru day speeches!!!
one contradicts the other. just like tamilnet.com and tamilnet.tv.
from TN.
"In the meantime, another Heroes' Day statement addressed as ‘LTTE, Tamil Eelam,’ signed by A.Ram, a commander of the LTTE operating in the island, was distributed through the Internet in text as well as in audio forms.
The parallel address, without any explanation to circumstances or citation of evidences came out with a controversial announcement on the array of heroes.
Ram's address contradicted the usual LTTE perspectives by saying that the human catastrophe was a consequence of the 'uncompromising policies' of the LTTE leader V. Pirapaharan.
The address looked upon the International Community to come out with a political solution to Tamils in the island and said that his organisation is prepared for ‘any compromise’ for that.
All countries that adamantly helped crushing the militant struggle should in the same way now bring in the democratic rights of people, the address said, adding that the Sri Lanka government too should place a solid and permanent solution.
A couple of days ago Ram made a statement accusing LTTE members and activists in the diaspora for their ignorance of current field realities and for taking political stands not conducive to the welfare of the 12,000 incarcerated cadres of the LTTE and Tamil people suffering in various ways in the current situation in the island."
(I was in SL until few weeks ago and the disgust I heard from the average man/woman about SF teaming up with RW traitor was indeed a surprise.
Some even spat on the road when they talked about it, using the word “nodhokin” which told me the extent of their disgust.
Of course, in Colombo RW bitch always had a good following and here the tone is now “we are fully behind SF” …I am simply amazed at that lot (including some of my own close friends/relatives and even some close classmates machos from RC!) and listening to them I say to myself silently, shout as much as you want you fucking kooky lot, but this will all be decided by the “real Sri Lankans” like they did in 2005!!!)

[it has come to our attention that some anti-SL POLITICAL ELEMENTS WITH LONG CONNECTIONS TO THE MILITARY that betrayed the country by the CFA are planning to damage the morale of SLDFs, damage SLDF property, affect recruitment, pave the way for undue military purchases with the hope that they can get hold of the subject of defence in future, exploit their military contacts to the benefit of the tamil elam struggle.
we urgently request the defence secretary - the architect of the war - to look into the matter and take appropriate action.
old links with the present military should not be allowed to achieve SELFISH and ANTI-SL political ends.
it is in this context the Mi-24 crash and many other possible future disasters should be investigated.

Thusitha said ..
[So what is so wrong about Mano Ganeshan. He can be a known LTTE supporter, but we have plenty of them. We have to one stage or the other deal with them.]
Thusitha, brother,
I disagree with you TOTALLY on this.
What is wrong with people who have PROVABLY collaborated with the enemy to destroy ones own country is that they are TRAITORS, and TREASON is, and should be, punishable by DEATH (as in the US and elsewhere).
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for spying on the US for the Soviets. King Charles of England was executed by Oliver Cromwell and his Parlimentarians for plotting with the Catholic Pope to bring in an Irish Catholic Army to fight the English Government and restore him to kingship, even as he was negotiating a constitutional kingship with Cromwell.
TREASON is considered a particularly heinous crime, unlike robbery or murder etc, because it affects the WELFARE of ALL CITIZENS, undermines their safety and security, the laws of the land, and is a FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OF TRUST and SACRED DUTY to the country that gives shelter and sustenance to ALL.
If we let TRAITORS escape punishment, it will encourage all other WOULD-BE-TRAITORS to do the same with impunity, without fear of retribution.
In the last 30 years, the lack of such punishment meted out to TRAITORS resulted in separatists, and even leaders in our own government, working against the Sri Lankan State.
That gave rise to the general growth of anti-SL forces, including separatists, religious figures, politicians, NGOs, iNGOs, running amok in the country, busily undermining it at will to their own profit. Consequently, there has been a general degradation of RESPECT for LAW and ORDER, and the DUTIES OF CITIZENS towards the country they live in.
This SITUATION has yet to be addressed and corrected in Sri Lanka, and INSTINCTIVE practice GOOD CITIZENSHIP restored as a matter of CIVIC DUTY and PERSONAL HONOUR.
WE must FIRST BEGIN with prosecuting and executing the worst traitors in the current crop of TRAITORS, and throwing the rest in jail for LIFE. We must ENFORCE the Laws of the Land on this.
CRIME & PUNISHMENT go hand-in-hand.
CRIME must be SEEN TO BE PUNISHED without delay and interminable rationalization. Only then will LAW, ORDER, and GOOD CITIZENSHIP prevail again in the Motherland.
The Scalpless Image of the late Sun God and Supreme Monster, Velupillai Prabhakaran, will do more for suppressing future terrorism in Sri Lanka than a boatload of laws passed in parliament. A classic example of DESERVED PUNISHMENT METED OUT WITHOUT DELAY.
So, my dear brother, Thusitha, there is much that is wrong with Traitors like Mano Ganeshan and the array of TNA "parlimentarians", now running scot-free in Sri Lanka without any fear of retribution.
I FERVENTLY HOPE & PRAY THEY WILL BE PUNISHED FOR TREASON!
Still More NATION BUILDING!

New international cricket stadium opens in Sri Lanka's hill country
Fri, Nov 27, 2009, 10:22 am SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Nov 27, Colombo: The new Pallekale international cricket stadium, about 120 km northeast of Colombo in Sri Lanka's hill country was declared open ceremoniously this morning amid religious observances.
The new stadium which is one of the venues for the 2011 World Cup can accommodate 30,000 spectators. A state-of-the-art facility for the players and the media is under construction. The facility will be ready for the World Cup in 2011. Three World Cup matches are scheduled to play in the new stadium.
Sri Lanka Cricket appreciated the efforts by the former director of cricket operation Bandula Warnapura and the support given by the Pallekale prisoners in helping with the construction of the grounds and the center turf.
A warm up match will be played at the stadium today between touring Bangladesh Under 19 cricket team and Sri Lanka Board XI while an official match will be played on Sunday 29th between Pakistan and Bangladesh U-19 teams.
Foreigners are salivating on the prospect of SF splitting the Sinhala Vote
Splitting of the Sinhala Vote was the reason why MR had to offer Ministerships to ALL MPs, and why successive governments of Sri Lanka were UNABLE TO SUPPRESS SEPARATISM in the country.
Now, it may raise its EVIL HEAD again, thanks to SF, unless the Sinhala Voters recognize the ploy and gift a LANDSLIDE VICTORY to MR.
I think the Sinhala Voter recognizes this, and WILL NOT BE FOOLED .. this time!
Time will TELL!
.............
The Economist:
Since the government’s victory in the long war with Tamil Tiger rebels in May, Tamils have chafed under travel and other restrictions. But an election looms, and President Mahinda Rajapaksa is lifting at least some of these. This week, he signed a proclamation authorising a presidential election in January. His main challenger is expected to be his former army commander, General Sarath Fonseka.
So the loyalties of the Sinhalese majority will be split, and Tamil votes decisive.

Did you hear the Bandas shouting to each other instructions/guidance (over the heavy drone of the T-55 MBT) and all the instructions are in SINHALESE…yes, the language of our proud Bandas, Bandas from our proud, patriotic villages in Bandastan!
Nice uh how we village Bandas are operating a sophisticated armament here (where trajectory, velocity, distance, etc have to be decided on the fly) and shouting happiliy and wildly in Bandastani and pulverizing Tamil racist cocksuckers like you?

The day the elephant crawled
The other significant thing about November 26 is that it was a day that the enemies of the State anticipated with relish. They wanted to see in what way the Government would be humiliated and what kind of anxieties and destabilization ensued. Like vultures waiting to prey on carrion many so-called political analysts salivated while checking out Prabhakaran’s annual address to terrorism’s many sympathizers, some in military fatigues, some in coat and tie, some in Colombo’s NGO/INGO enclave and some overseas.
This year was different. No Prabhakaran. No LTTE. No salivating. Instead, we had the United National Party deciding to back Sarath Fonseka’s Presidential bid. We had, as S. B. Dissanayake rightly pointed out at the party’s working committee meeting a situation where neither the elephant symbol nor the colour green would figure in a major national election. The UNP has been reduced to supporting a man who is essentially the candidate of the JVP; the JVP stole a march on the so-called ‘biggest single party of the country’ and we got a situation where the tail actually wagged the dog.
‘SB’ is said to have pointed out that the UNP had found itself in such a sorry state that it just couldn’t find a candidate who was willing and able to offer any kind of challenge to Mahinda Rajapaksa and therefore had to hang on to an outsider’s ambitions. Fonseka then, in a strange twist of fate, has ended up as the commander of an operation to offer ‘salvation’ to a crippled UNP and a floundering JVP, not to mention the likes of Mano Ganeshan (the most vocal voice of the LTTE in Colombo) and Rauff Hakeem (who was distraught and ‘diminished’ by the death of the LTTE’s political chief, S.P. Thamilselvan). And it was also reported that there were some earth tremors in some parts of the island. A strange day, overall.
There are some die-hard LTTE supporters among Tamils living abroad who have refused to accept that the terrorist chief is dead. They were expecting their hero to emerge from somewhere and deliver his annual speech. Some would argue that there was a resurrection of sorts on November 26 because the elements that had committed themselves to derail the efforts of the Government to rid the country of terrorism had found some life in the form of a coalition that challenged Mahinda Rajapaksa and, paradoxically, had as its figure-head one of the key figures responsible to the nation’s most significant post-independence moment: Sarath Fonseka. In the end it is less about personality and more about agenda, one can argue, and in this sense such conjecture cannot be summarily dismissed. Some would say that it was a nice birthday present to the late terrorist leader. Others would say ‘coincidence’. It does not matter, either way.
The day the elephant crawled
....continued...
What does matter is what happened and is happening to D. S. Senanayake’s party. Now we do know that JRJ’s Constitution was tailor-made to ensure a weak opposition. On the other hand, there’s nothing in that disastrous document that guarantees that an opposition party self-destructs. ‘SB’ has correctly pointed out that this situation was brought about by inept leadership. Ranil Wickremesinghe, all along, fought only to secure his post as party leader and showed little concern about the damage he was doing to his party. ‘Reforms’ were aimed at quelling dissent but turned out to be mere cosmetic alterations.
Parties do go through bad times and even terrible times. The one thing that gives a party a change to bounce back into contention is strong leadership.
The UNP bled under Ranil Wickremesinghe and must now play second fiddle to the JVP in Fonseka’s election campaign. It is unlikely that Fonseka will win, but it is widely held that Ranil Wickremesinghe would have fared worse.
Interestingly, now it is in the UNP’s and Ranil’s interest that Fonseka fares poorly because if he comes close to winning, Fonseka will be happily positioned to bid for the lesser but still appealing prize of ‘UNP leader’.
His stature and war-hero status in conjunction with Ranil’s declined popularity and proven lack of leadership skills makes a strong case for a kind of take-over that no one was able to orchestrate. Indeed, if Fonseka’s performance is anything better than that of the usual also-ran, it is likely that he would be called upon to lead the opposition’s Parliamentary election campaign, further padding his already superior leadership CV.
All told, it was a pretty dismal day for the United National Party and in particular for Ranil Wickremesinghe. Wickremesinghe probably understands now that no one is interested in listening to him. ‘Please make me Executive Prime Minister after you win, Sarath!’ is not attracting any attention. Fonseka himself has positioned himself a fair distance away from both the UNP and JVP, claiming that he is not a ‘common candidate’ of either party. Signs of things to come, Ranil and Tilvin will probably note. Both will have to resign themselves to nibbling on the crumbs that Fonseka ‘may’ toss them ‘after’ he’s done eating.
The fate of Ranil and Tilvin are hardly worth the nation’s bother.
Personalities, as I said, are less important than agenda. Ranil and Tilvin may have willingly or unwillingly turned themselves into Fonseka’s puppy dogs, but this does not mean that the agenda of the separatists and all forces intent on destabilizing Sri Lanka took a hit when these two punched themselves. This is why I thought of D. S. Senanayake and Velupillai Prabhakaran yesterday. If party and personality mattered less than overall objective, one of them must be laughing in the afterlife while the other is probably crying his eyes out.
This election will prove who cried and who laughed and the nation will have to decide who they wish laughed and who cried.

SF is not an Experienced Politician. Brother, here experienced stand for corrupted.
Not only MR, now all the Rajapaksas are well experienced politician. So we don't need them in power.
Within a short period SF became the common candidate for some major parties which have long history in SL politics. That itself a win.
Jay;
If you did a little bit mathematics, and ever heard of Complex algebra, you'll realise that even today Eelam and SL coexist. One in real axis, and other in imaginary axis.
As long as they do exist so, SL has no concerns of it as the imaginary eelam opium will keep them busy with their usual actions and as long as they do so, SL will happily live.
Of course this is called mutually exclusive in mathematics again.
Sorry a banda had to give some lessond to Mr Educated. You guys need more sadly.
While poor SL is compelled to debate on wholly unwanted SF vs MR debate, eelamists celebrated the birthday of their late super supreme in places where it fitted better than SL.
Certainly it missed the lime light. Surely no outsiders were interested as much as they would be when there existed the terror movement of LTTE that can make teh best use of the day to wow future attacks. On top of that eelam mythical homoland is living upto its realities, as it goes thru the life cycle of any such mythical kingdom [ex: Third Reich, 4th International] from violence to extinction, it faces the next phase of neglegence in great numbers. In simple, most expat eelamists paid lesser attention this year, if you compare it to many last years, and it will be loosing further attention in years to come.
As I always predicted mahabooru day will end up being something like tamil valentine's day whereas Eelam will end up being something like rotary club. Few memberships, little work, just a pasttime.

[TBC...]
Toronto held a major ceremony, and here is a nice article about it .
Few points of interest:
[[Their keynote speaker’s ejection from Canada amounted to barely a hiccup for Toronto-area Tamils, thousands of whom flocked to an annual “Martyrs’ Day” commemoration of Tamil Tiger fighters who died in Sri Lanka’s 26-year civil war.]]
Come on, the keynotespeaker's ejection from Mullivaikkal six months ago, where he attained eelam with a "dunno-what" going thru his skull, is in fact teh prime topic and almost only topic of interest among them. In his absence, it makes no difference who delivers keynote speech.
The canadian authorities pulled "it" last moment and semen fell all over. But what difference does it make for the loss of semen to an impotent movement.
[[“We always have a Plan B for everything,” Sahab Jesuthasan, 22, a spokesman for the event, said as a stream of visitors filed past him to place gloriosa lilies, the official Tamil flower, on a shrine to the fallen.]]
In M-Vaikkal they lost plan Z sadly.
[["We did not expect that to happen,” Mr. Jesuthasan said of Mr. Seeman’s arrest. “I guess Canadadoesn’t respect the right of freedom of speech.”]]
Yeah mate, suddenly whole world is against the free-done of speech and all conduct Gee-no-side on tamils. Now what to do? Maybe, you can turn the first genuine global terror move, that fights against ALL teh states of teh world. Good on ya.
[[In the pre-dawn hours yesterday, a wooden porch was set on fire at a Buddhist temple in Scarborough where Sinhalese Sri Lankans are known to worship. It was the second such fire since May, when the Tigers were defeated in their 26-year conflict with the Sri Lankan government.]]
Please continue such acts. You are digging your private grave in the mass grave you dug fior yourself. "Rest in peace" and long as you do this.
[[As police stepped up patrols around the temple, organizers at the Martyrs’ Day event took comfort in a pronounced lack of law-enforcement presence compared to last year’s ceremonies.]]
Canadian authorities kow the price of London bigmac. In fact teh inflation of London bigmac prize will be felt by pussycatospora when they conduct next such protest/hunger-bigmac-only-strike. They will see lesser expensive, still stronger response then.
[[This year, he said, organizers met with officials from CSIS, the RCMP, Torontoand Peel police officials a month in advance and secured a non-harassment pledge in exchange for assurances that Tamils would not use the event to raise money for the Tigers, which is illegal given their terrorist designation.]]
And you think Canadians believed this shit promise. Hikz. Canadians will happily reduce security spendings on ya, They must be learning cheaper and effective ways to spy...
[[A Peel police spokesman said officers were aware of the event and would be “monitoring” it for criminal activity, but planned no disruptive action.]]
I just said this in prev response.
[[“We’re not collecting any money,” Mr. Jesuthasan said, adding that admission to the hall was free and the event was financed by sponsors in the Tamil community. Asked why vaguely worded tickets marked $10 were being sold to Tamil merchants in Scarboroughthis week on the understanding they were for Martyrs’ Day ceremonies, he could only speculate. “A lot of people are fronting to get money, I guess,” Mr. Jesuthasan said. “We don´t know anything about it.”]]
Best part about pussycat world is taht they think whole world is at their IQ level. Punnakku words for an ordinary diaspora tamil is not strong enough for the rest. One secret of our victory is this inability to estimate the rest of the world by them.
I must have been a fun filled mahabooru day. Preserve your memories to compare in an year. The direction this heads is absolutely fantastic.

Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Women’s Front national organizer Priyangika Kothalawela has reportedly submitted her resignation to party leader Somawansa Amarasinghe.
In her resignation letter she has blamed the JVP for deviating from its party policies, say reports. She has specifically mentioned the party’s recent decision to support the United National Party (UNP) and the Presidential candidature of General Sarath Fonseka.
She had also pointed out that the JVP had earlier branded Opposition leader Ranil Wickremesinghe as a traitor and questioned as to how the party could come to a common consensus with the UNP.
I am for SF and RW’s common front.
Lankadeepa flipping version
Turn to page 6.
There is a very important discussion with Gota. He says lots of things about SF.
Gota is a man who talks his heart out. And he sounds at the brink of knocking his head on wall for bringing SF to scene.
Some important issues about SF's media history, SF's plotting., infightings, suspicion from many parties, etc. Also he over plays to push SF's contribution under carpet.
It's a mixed bag.

Yup Heliya,
Cocksucker don't even think of it as we are ready to pulverize you whores...like how we pulverized you in Nanthikadal Lagoon.
Wanna see me "collectors' collection" pics from that suddha kerilla?
ha ha ha...
Naughty naughty...naw, you will not see them whoredog.

OaO Asithri
"it" = trying to establish "tamileelam" via SF now that you could not establish it via TERRORISM.
So what happened to all the other LTTE cocksuckers here?
I know they first went and prayed at the "maha-oora" (Big Pig) celebrations then they went and lit candles and prayed more and then they went back and offered white customers their wives, daughters, and mothers and some, such as this Jay the Gay-lay offered himself - all for a worthy cause called "thamileelam" !!!
:)) :)) :))
OaO Asithri
Got to run to the airport...my eastern beauty is coming.
She is bound to have some interesting long stories for me from the EU.
Catch you patriots later...until then, be merciless, relentless and address these LTTE=RW=TNA=SF whorecunts with "extreme prejudice" !!!
Traitorous Cocksuckers, Just wait and see...you ain't seen anything yet!!! We will fight you with our best pillows and feather-dusters!!!

Oh my god! Do I deserve that? Do we have Mervin here with another name?

A Government backed website run from an Asian capital named Gen. Fonseka's son-in-law as one of those involved in the deals. This website had claimed throughout that there was no corrupt activity in the conduct of the separatist war nor did civilian deaths occur. However, now a story titled 'EVERY BULLET FIRED AT INNOCENT TAMIL CIVILIANS FETCHED KICKBACKS TO GEN. FONSEKA FAMILY" tells a different story contradicting its earlier position.
It drew an angry response. On Friday, his son-in-law's lawyers in Colombo sent in a letter of demand seeking US $ 50 million as damages to the owner of the website, a one-time journalist from Jaffna. He is already saddled with other lawsuits. Lawyers were also planning Court action in the country from which this website operates.
Gen. (retd.) Fonseka told the Sunday Times his son-in-law was not associated with the Sri Lankan registered firm Hicorp. He was only involved with the company operating in the United States. However, the Sri Lankan firm, operated by the son of a retired Air Force officer, had given his son-in-law's name and address as the contact point. "I remember this company tendered for a binoculars deal. My son-in-law has nothing to do with this," he said. The US-based company has no involvement in Sri Lanka.
"I am not only willing to co-operate in any investigation into any deal. I will not shy away in identifying any wrong doer. I will also not shy away from exposing corrupt deals. If I am elected I will definitely probe many of them, some known, and punish those responsible," he declared. He added that bribery, corruption and nepotism would have to be dealt with in the interests of the nation.

We as Sri Lankans have a greater chance of being a true democracy al least without any more Mervin types, under SF, RW group. They can develop the country too and a better side to heal racial wounds to achieve long lasting peace.
Civil allegiance is the duty of loyalty and obedience which a person owes to the State of which he is a citizen. The word ‘allegiance’ is a derivative of liege, free and historically it signifies the service which a free man owed to his liege lord. Every citizen owes the duty of loyalty to the state where he is a Citizen.
The term allegiance is often used by English legal commentators in a broader sense, divided them into natural and local, the latter applying to the deference which even a foreigner must pay to the institutions of the country in which he lives.
The English doctrine which was once adopted in the United States, asserted that allegiance was indelible: “Nemo potest exuere patriam” . Accordingly, as the law stood before 1870, every person who by birth or naturalization satisfied the conditions set forth, though he should be removed in infancy to another country where his family resided, owed an allegiance to the British Crown which he could never resign or lose except by Act of Parliament or by the recognition of the independence or the cession of the portion of British territory in which he resided.
Allegiance is the tie which binds the subject to the Sovereign in return for that protection which the Sovereign affords the subject. It was the mutual bond and obligation between the King or Queen and his or her subjects, whereby subjects are called his liege subjects, because they are bound to obey and serve him.
At Common Law, allegiance is a true and faithful obedience of the subject due to his Sovereign. As the subject owes to his King his true and faithful allegiance and obedience, so the Sovereign is to govern and protect his subjects, regere et protegere subdititos suos, so as between the Sovereign and subject there is : duplex et reciprocum ligamen; quia sicut subditus regi tenetur ad obedientiam, ita rex subdito tenetur ad protectionem:merito igitur ligeantia dicitur a ligando, quia continent in se duplex ligament. Allegiance is owed both to the Sovereign as a natural person and to the Sovereign in his or her political capacity. Loyalty requires affection also to the office of the Sovereign, attachment to royalty, attachment to the law and to the Constitution of the realm and he who would by force or fraud endeavour to prostrate that law and Constitution, though he may retain his affection for its head, can boast but an imperfect and spurious species of loyalty.

Are these accusations true?
If these accusations and GR's revelations are true then I feel sick.
Our army commander had been a rpaist,
I feel sick.
That is the situation in Sri Lanka.
Fortunately the viral/ bacterial and fungal source, the worst (LTTE) of all evil has gone.
General is extremely dangerous.
Mangala and Ranil might have said some truth not for the benefit for the country but for the destruction of it.
MR and GR have promoted a rapist for a hero. They have covered up things for SF seemingly in the interest of the country, at least as it claimed by them. They should not do it any more.
I feel sick, really sick.
This still could be the tip of the ice berg.
Have you heard of a Former Army officer making insinuous remarks about the duly elected President and the Government ? He is seen in the private electronic media by saying the following:
“I am a Four Star General, I was not given promotion as Five Star General. Had I got it I will still be wearing the Uniform” What a silly statement unbecoming of an Officer and a Gentleman. An Officer in the army is expected to serve Head of State and the Nation without expectations of material gain. He should have realized that the Airforce and the Navy too played significant roles together with the police. This controversial personality is craving for the post of President which he will never be in his wildest dreams but he has certainly qualified himself as an unpatriotic, dishonest traitor who has ever lived in this country. Whilst he make remarks about Our Patriotic son of Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa by asserting that as a civilian he has a right to contest the elections, by what right has that ordinary civilian the right for additional security personnel. He would have been entitled to additional security personnel had he maintained the dignity and decorum of a retired Army General and not behave like a savage. No right thinking soldier should protect him. If there is any patriotic soldier or Armed forces personnel they must refuse to be in his security squad to give him protection or refuse to be on his squad lest he makes insinuous remarks of his own body guards.
It is the duty of the State and the President to disqualify him as a Candidate if he is trying to bully the Nation with the unseen foreign power with NGO’s and INGO’s .
The Election Commissioner should disqualify him as he holds foreign residence permit (Green card) and is unfit to contest the Presidential election. We must enact a law to prevent foreign interests and invasion.
It was President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s leadership which wiped out terrorism with the able directives of Dr.Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and the analytical advise given by Parliamentarian Basil Rajapaksa. An officer who lifts his hand to salute the Head of State should not try to challenge the Head of State or point a finger at him. Probably after losing the elections, as a Green Card holder he may migrate to USA.
On submitting his resignation papers he stated “ I will make my comments after I remove my uniform. As an ordinary citizen, I have the rights of the citizen to contest”. If so why is he trying to exploit the resources given to a retired General. Are you upholding the dignity of a retired General? Instead he is now trying to become a political henchman of vested interests and some disgruntled politicians. What a shame. He was injured. Who sent him for medical treatment ? Has he forgotten Article 30(1) of the Constitution of Sri Lanka which states that the President is the Head of State and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces”. Has he observed and obeyed order as an officer and a gentleman ? Has he not qualified himself to be court martial led for his conduct unbecoming of an Officer?
Rajapaske wont implement 17th amendment that would lead to a fair and just public service, judiciary, elections department, police and bribery department.

This is going to be very ugly. I am sure all these war crimes guys would be taking notes on these comments. Seem like SF/GR/MR are digging their graves. Even the LTTE could not have done a better job.
I hope they would not start talking about killing innocent Tamil Civilans now. That would be the end of SL.

Most likely you are in the wrong blog, trying to convince us to vote for RW, SF combination. What made you think they are the better side to heal the racial wounds? Only thing that they have done is to exacerbate the wounds, by allowing a war to continue by pointless peace deal, which caused more SL death and destruction.
No thanks, SL does not need solutions provided by a moron like RW, who couldn't even father a a child. What stakes does he have in a phosphorous SL. None.

I am not here to convince anybody. This is public forum to voice our thoughts and concerns; I don’t know what you are talking about?
RW initiated the peace accord because he must have thought that the best deal at that moment without getting killed each other. It is the VP who cheated on that CFA.
Oh yes RW is a moron but Mervins protector Lasantha killer and Poddala Jayantha attacker is a saint.
Think before you write.
SU,
That link seems to be a dirty linnen affair by somebody clearly but if they have evidence I would like to see them.

Resubmission with correction

Gonawal Sunil also an innocent man. Isn't it?
Do not tell me there are other bad apples in bothsides.
Because I know.
Both sides are more or less the same.
But with the side you seemed to be in We almost lost Sri Lanka.
If the accusations are true -----, I said.
Also SF has been punished for the crime???? Is it true? find it out. Please do not bark at me.
If it is trueb then I feel sick.
Good bye.

Just one single story is nothing!
I am talking about open verbal and physical abuse of opponents. What you are doing here is approving MR’s Mervin and DW ’s Mervin (you know who is the scum) both are very similar useless gutter worms in order to get praise from so called patriots (only said by themselves).
thusitha,
/*

whatever dirty linen, i am pretty confident last war there were could not have been deliberate targeting of innocent tamil civilains. only losing army commit crime against the innocent.
"political wing" of LTTE and their close families have for years aided and abetted terror against tamils themselves - hence cannot be classified as "innocent". their punishments extra judicial maybe but in war as in love there are no rules.
whatever the case, let the parties involved bring out all allegations against. they will also defend themselves on media using pen only. the public will decide who is right.
this is a long overdue cleansing process. this is needed to make a new start for sri lanka. in many ways a "truth commission" as taken place after conflict in other theaters of war.
In my point of view 99.9 of cuurent bunc of politicians should get Katu Imbula for million years starting from Ranil, Merwin.
Please do not try to tell me. You are wasting time on something that is not new.
SU,
I am not interested in telling you anything. I am here to express my views like any other.
JAYAWEWA to SF the gentleman.
LONG LIVE SF, RW , Mangala, Mano brothers.
They are the only hope for Sri Lanka!
They will win because SL is worthy of that win.
Mate Helaya,
Good show, I like your style but not what you say bro.
But go on, we want some more like you here.

Mate, I know you are angry about SF what he is doing to the country, but we cannot put him down like this. It is totally wrong, and most of our beloved army officers had to do this at one stage or the other. Also make sure you don't write killing civilians, that would piss lot of people off.

If people give a damn about Lasantha, they would vote to get rid of MR. As GR said, who is Lasantha, does the common people give a damn about Lasantha's killer (I mean majority of SLs). No. If people give damn about Lasantha UNP would have done very well in the Election. That means, people are giving thumbs up for Lasantha's killer, which I am sure would be reflected in the PE as well.
My congratulations on your anticipated win!
I am going to enter a rehabilitattion camp; If Mangala and Ranil are worthy I must be dirty.
Thank you for the enligtenment you gave me by expressing your point of view.
Thanks! (Now I am in rehabilitation camp Ranilising myself for impecable purity. Thanks!)
My rehabilitator's prognosis
It will be impossible for me to attain Ranilian bunchmark standard of impecable purity.
So I have been advised to be persevere.
Sinhala one of the world’s most creative scripts
Unknown to the media and most in Sri Lanka the Sinhala language has won international recognition.
More precisely, it is the Sinhala script rather than the language itself that has been named as one of the world’s 16 most creative alphabets among today’s functioning languages, some of them among the oldest in the world.

I have the reasons to believe that a coconut shell has fallen on Fonseka's head a few month ago and he has started going bananas ever since. Please check this photo of Fonseka worshiping the top dead scum Lasantha Wickramathung's.
Sarath Fonseka joined the army on Feb 5, 1970 and was commissioned on June 1, 1971. He was made Commander in Chief of the Sri Lanka Army on Dec 6, 2005. Many women soldiers were molested by Sarath Fonseka. A case in point is of Nanda Menike. Sarath Fonseka repeatedly raped this woman solider and fathered two children. Before leaving from the Army he arranged pension and other benefits to her. As a Lieutenant, Sarath Fonseka was charge sheeted and punished. The offence: rape of a domestic (servant woman) on 25 December 1975, at the Army Training centre in Diayatalawa.
Foneska was given a severe reprimand on Feb 20, 1976
The order reads: “WOAS (Whilst On Active Service) being an officer of the Regular Force charged for the conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline that he on 25th December 1975 at the Army Training centre at the station officers mess Diayatalawa did become in a manner unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman and thereby punished under Army Act Section 129 (1).
Names of witnesses:
1. Lieut Ham Perrera 1/SLLI (O/ 50618)
2. 2/Lieut. C.J. Kottahachchi SL AOC O/50671
Severely Reprimanded
By S.C. Ranatunga Colonel.
One has to recall the allegation made by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in her address to UN Security Council. She spoke about allegation of rape against the armed forces. Such allegations must have been prompted by ‘sexcapades’ of General Sarath Fonseka.
It was learnt that Sarath Fonseka was charge sheeted for several offences during his career. He had a serious brawl at an airport once.
To accommodate Sarath Fonseka as the new Army Commander the Government retired the serving commander Lieutenant General Shantha Kotegoda by giving him a two-day notice.
Fonseka’s elevation as Army Commander took place when he was packing for his retirement due in another couple of weeks. His first annual extension of service was granted on 18 December 2005.
From that day onwards up to his retirement on Nov 12, 2009, Foneska received as many four extensions.
All because the President of Sri Lanka and the Secretary of Defence were very considerate towards him.
The same Sarath Fonseka has now filed a fundamental rights petition in the Supreme Court, stating that “the President is entitled to a security force of 2000; the Defense Secretary has 500; former Navy Chief has 120 and the Army commander has a security detail of 600. While so much security officers are provided to them, Gen. Fonseka whose security detail was drastically curtailed has only 10 Commando soldiers, two unofficial security officers, 50 soldiers and a bullet proof vehicle”.
In his petition Sarath Fonseka requested the Court to direct the authorities to provide him with 600 soldiers, 10 vehicles and two bullet proof vehicles as security cover. His contention was that as an Army Commander he faced with the biggest threat from the LTTE and cut backs on his security after the war was won, is ‘unjustifiable and unreasonable’.
The retired general who has filed for his ‘fundamental’ rights has a dismal track record in respecting fundamental rights of others, particularly fellow generals particularly to his immediate predecessor, General Shantha Kottagoda (2004 to Dec 6, 2009).
Within two days of his retirement as Army Commander, General Shantha Kottagoda was evicted from his quarters at the Army Headquarters. Subsequently within a month he was driven out of the General’s House located at the Bullers Road. He was deprived of his personal body guards. He was left high and dry without any security cover. Remember General Shantha Kottagoda had also fought against the LTTE. He was also a Tigers’ target.
Fonseka, as army commander, also trampled on the security of some other former army chiefs as well. He called back all the security guards and vehicles provided to General L.P. Ballagalle (2000 to 2004), General C.S.Weerasuriya (1998 to 2000), General R.De. S. Dulwatte (1996 to 2000) and many retired senior generals of the Sri Lanka Army.
RW=TNA=LTTE wesa dogs
I said earlier:
"Yep, we are the “Mervin” clan of anti-LTTE vanguard. Get used to it as life for you traitorous cocksuckers here ain’t going to be a cake-walk"
Yeppie this is a fact. We are 5 individuals here and amongst us, we have 3 PhDs and 7 Masters from best of the best Univs in the US/UK.
We are perfectly okay in cutting you bitches down to size in either English OR even in our own Swabhasha (two of us even took effort to master some Tamil! :-)
hehehehe......yes RW=LTTE bitchy bithes, see if you can take us on and dominate this blog. Good luck!
hehehehe
Because Sarath Fonseka was charge sheeted on several occasions he was denied of the USB – Uthama Serva Pathakkam and also VSV Vishita Seva Vibushana. Subsequently when he became the commander of the army he amended the regulation in respect of the award of USB in order to qualify himself for the award of VSV and subsequently recommended for himself these very honours and received the awards.
In 2002 when Sarath Fonseka was the Commandant of Jaffna, the Government decided to allow the Tamil land owners on a staggered basis to occupy their lands that came under security zone in the Jaffna Peninsula. But he refused to implement the order. He refused cooperation. The matter went up before Ranil Wickremasinghe, the then all-powerful Prime Minister. Ranil moved Fonseka out of Jaffna and posted him as the Wanni Commander.
As Commander of Jaffna, Fonseka was provided with a satellite phone (Sat Phone) for communication purpose.
He used the Satphone for personal purposes mostly talking to his US based daughters and friends in foreign lands. He took it along with him when he moved to Vavuniya; he took along with him the satellite phone. The Army wanted to court-martialled Fonseka for the abuse of the official telephone. Fonseka’s Satphone bill was a staggering Rs. 8.5 million. He settled the bill after he became the commander of the army by drawing money from the Army Welfare Fund.
When the battle was raging Fonseka left on a holiday to China on 11 May. The trip was sponsored by a leading Chinese arms manufacturer, China North Industries Corporation, NORINCO. The entire family joined him in the holiday. Wife Anoma, two daughters Aspara, Aparna and the son-in law cum arms dealer Danuna Tilakaratne stayed with the General along with his ADC and a few other relatives and friends.
NORINCO played the role of host to perfection. It provided the Air Tickets. When Sarath Fonseka’s Party landed in China, the factory representatives received him with full honours that are reserved to a privileged few.
Sarath Fonseka and his ‘group’ were conducted on a sightseeing tour of Chongquing city and Xian where they saw the terracotta warriors, the Great Wall of China as well to the Olympic stadium.
The General received a fat cheque towards the services he had rendered to please his hosts – bulk orders for military hardware for which he was responsible. The goodwill money shorn of all honorific is pure and unadulterated commission, kick back.
The Arms dealer son-in-law used the occasion of the visit to China at the invitation of NORINCO to meet its rival, Poly Technologists. Danuna Tilakaratne met the Poly Technologists representatives with the full knowledge and blessings of his father-in-law. The meeting was a hush-hush affair. It resulted in some orders to Poly Technologists and the ordinance factory was asked to quickly ferry the ordered weapons to Sri Lanka. Poly Technologists also is rumoured to have showered the Sri Lanka Star general and his starry son-in-law with its version of goodwill money.
All these discreet arms deals took place when the Sri Lankan forces - Army, Navy and air force were engaged in a pitched battle with the Tiger terrorists in Wanni.
The holiday party lingered on in mainland China for a little while. By the time the General and his family and friends returned home with spirits rejuvenated,
Sri Lanka’s war against terrorism on its very own soil ended by the 18 May.
During the final stages of the war, as the army commander was not on hand, the Defence secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa along with Vanni Commander and other forces commanders steered the campaign that culminated in the elimination of Pribakaran and his terrorists group.
Sarath Fonseka used to long for power and authority like a megalomaniac. As commander of the army, he used to beseech the Defence secretary to vest with him the authority of controlling the Navy, Air Force and the Police. His argument was that such authority would give him the freedom to marshal all resources for effective deployment for best results in the war theatre. The Secretary to Defence refused to yield to Sarath Fonseka, thereby making him nurse a grievance against the Rajapaksas.
Army officers who worked with Foneska told that the General always nursed the ambition of becoming supreme power in the country.
On May 18, Government of Sri Lanka declared that the humanitarian campaign to liberate the Tamils was over and by that time more than 280,000 innocent Tamil civilians who were held as human shield by Prabhakaran ended up as internally displaced persons at the welfare centres.
However, unbelievable it may be the truth is as Army Commander, Sarath Fonseka never visited any of the theatres of war when the battle was raging between the Sri Lankan forces and the Tamil Tigers. He never ventured out into the front line until Kilinochchi was liberated.
When the troops had pushed out Tamil Tigers from Kilinochchi, President Mahinda Rajapaksa decided to visit the area on April 16, 2009. He wanted to celebrate the Sinhala and Hindu New Years with the troops stationed in Kilinochchi, IDPs and other civilians.
The President invited the Army Commander to accompany him. But Fonseka showed reluctance saying that the war with the LTTE was still raging and as such on and no risks should be taken. Army Commander lacked the courage to go to the frontline.
But the President kept his date with the front line. On his arrival at the proposed new hospital complex in the heart of Kilinochchi town on 16 April 2009, morning, the President and his entourage were received by Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Chief of Defence Staff Air Chief Marshal Donald Perera, Commander of the Navy Vice Admiral Wasantha Karannagoda, and Commander of the Air Force Air Marshal Roshan Goonatilake. The Inspector General of Police Jayantha Wickaramratne was also present. He reached Kilinochchi a day ahead of President’s visit. That was the first time General Sarath Fonseka set his foot in the war ravaged region.
Interestingly both when the war was declared and when the war ended, Gen Fonseka was no where in the scene. When President Rajapaksa declared war on the LTTE after the Mavil-Aru incident, the star general was away in Singapore. During the final days of the war, he was away in China with his arms dealer son-in-law collecting commission money and conniving with his son-law to order for another shipment of arms and ammunition.
On 20 August 2009, the Defence Secretariat was informed of the arrival of the Mechanized Vessel Lily from China with 206, 20ft containers and 3 containers of 40 ft with arms and ammunition from China. The arrival came as a surprise. After Mahinda Rajapaksa became the President, the practice adopted is to order and regularize imports of military hardware through Lanka Logistics.
Earlier the import orders used to be placed by forces commanders in a haphazard manner. Defence Secretary streamlined the import procedure and set up Lanka Logistics as the agency to handle all imports of military equipment.
Lanka Logistics is presently headed by Nimal Perera. He is a former Director of Noritake Lanka Porcelain. Jayanth Wickremasinghe is the Chief Executive of Lanka Logistics. Normally arms and ammunitions are imported after asset drill and opening up of the Letters of Credit for the ordnance factory which would send the military hardware. Instead of going through these procedures, MV Lilly arrived at Colombo Port from China with Poly Technologists’s hardware - RPGs’ artillery ammunitions, small arms ammunitions, and spares for artilleries. According to Lanka Logistics they have not opened up the necessary Letter of Credit for the ‘cargo’ that came. This was the hardware that was indented during Gen Fonseka’s holiday to China. His son-in-law, who was on the holiday trip, is the agent of Poly Technologists. According to the Defence Ministry there is no need for the Poly Technologists’s hardware that came aboard MV Lilly. The ship was accordingly sent back to China. This decision created a big wedge in the relations between Sarath Fonseka and Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who are good friends otherwise. In fact it was the Defence Secretary who promoted Fonseka. . It was because of Gotabya’s insistence President Rajapaksa appointed Fonseka as the commander in Chief. Many generals don’t think Fonseka displayed any great talent in winning the Wanni war credit to Fonseka.
Expert Inspector,
"Army Commander lacked the courage to go to the frontline."
Even though I will vote against SF, I question the validity of this statement. SF is the past lived in the frontline. I can give you many examples from Jaffna Fort time and on how SF was a commanding officer from the front. It is extremely dishonest to say he did not.
"There are allegations that the Army commander was involved in a fraud when procuring arms for the Army"
If this is true, my question is if MR was aware of this or no at the time this was happen?
If yes, MR has to get the responsibility as Commander in Chief of the Sri Lankan Armed Forces.
If no, is it necessary for us to have a president like this??
PaanPakaya
[Rajapaske wont implement 17th amendment}
What the fukkkkkkk is this 17th A?
Who the fukkkkkkk cares?
I asked a friend of mine in SL to pose this question (“do you think 17th A must be implemented?”) and 97% of respondents asked him what is it? (at least they did not ask him "what the fukkkkkk is it" like how I would have asked!:)
People are worried about the high cost of living, jobs, their children's education, etc. etc. and NOT about this 17thA that you appear to have your fukkking head wrapped around!
MR GoSL is well on its way for post-war development and that is what people are keenly following and not YOUR fukkkking 17thA!
Bloody RW=TNA=LTTE whorebitch, nice try! Trying to set the agenda for Sri Lankans when you are not even a Sri Lankan!
hehehehe
We do not need to be disheartened even if we feel sick.
There were real heroes,
Who were always compassionate to weaker an protected them, who sacrificed their lives and limbs to safeguard the dignity of Sri Lanka and innocent human lives.
Whatever the imperatives, in my opinion, a rapist should not have been promoted to military general. Instead he would have put in jail.
Is this just seduction? or rape?
If GR knew these allegations still he choose to promote SF then GR what were you thinking. How could you associate with such low life?
Let us go forward. Truth commission should come, but first we need stability. We cannot let the country fall apart.
My rehabilitators are just about to give on my rehabilitation of Ranilian bunch-mark impeccable purity.
This is how the legendary 59th division faught the way alone towards Mullathivu. Take this moment to remember the heroics of unrivaled heroes of Sri Lankan history.
dear astry,
/*
People are worried about the high cost of living,
*/
that is correct. this is because rajapske knows nothing about the economy.
money dont grow on trees. without making money by reducing corruption and economic best practice, mahinda rajapaske spending money like there is no tomorrow.
when there is no money he prints more with his face. you cannot go on printing money without side effects. side effects such as one noted below;
Little change in essential food prices despite tax cuts

Hey chuuti malli, I can see you are out of your league here.
Perhaps you should stick to chatting on FaceBook, MySpace or something else that suits your age, knowledge and education.
Idiotically I can see you are trying an angle here to discredit MR for the corruption SF is guilty of and it will not work chuuti malli.
In the Western world where we study and work in, regularly there are improprietaries being discovered but no, they do not hold either the PM of the UK or the President of the US responsible for such which have occurred at the various levels of "delegated authorities."
I suggest chuuti malli you first learn how to masturbate without spilling yourself all over your computer!
hehehehe
SU,
Let us go forward. Truth commission should come, but first we need stability. We cannot let the country fall apart.
Yes, this what all of us wants. I want to give MR and UPFA six more years to stabilize and develop the country. I will vote even against God Sakra if he teams up with the top scum of Sri Lanaka to reverse all the gains we made and to break our national backbone.

“Good show, I like your style but not what you say bro. But go on, we want some more like you here”
Really? So why don’t you set up a few more IDs like how you have done so far?
Hehehehe
Para wesa-dog, we patriots have been watching you here and you have all but confirmed to us who you are really.
We know you. We met you before. We castrated you before. We even anally penetrated you before and you asked for more - but we said, come back later and you have now come back!
Welcome!
hehehehe
Panhinda the Scummy,
Are saying that prices of commodities did not go up in the time of the LTTE worshiping RW government? Didn't your moma ask you not to use heroine too much?
expert inspector,
some points you make complete the picture. BUT i must tell you we have to verify your claims.
1. SF was indeed not leading the SLA when we started the war and won the war.
i though he went to india on may 08the but as you say he went to china on 11th.
one thing is certain. he was not there.
2. he didn;t visit the front that often during the critical stages. i agree with this.
3. so that is why the CDS made the statement that SL returned an arms shipment from china!!! it is not in his JD.
but we have to verify these.
"Didn't your moma ask you not to use heroine too much?"
Especially when she bought it after giving her arse to Norwegians?
hehehehehe
"Gen. Sarath Fonseka seeking a house to rent sent shock waves around Sri Lanka. The direct message was ‘if he doesn’t have a house of his own after 40 years in the Army he must be ultra honest.’ Before this sentiment seeped down, the hatchet came out and the national trait of scurrilous mail commenced. But, if Gen Fonseka was corrupt as alluded to, what was the Ministry of Defence doing all this while? Is it a question of “if you are with us, corruption is fine?” Or is it that of throwing any mud and letting some stick? Why were these not brought out when Gen. Sarath Fonseka was in the saddle?"
Sam I know that you have a great genuine emotional attachment to Sri Lanka. I salute and always saluted you for this.
I think as people love their parents they should have a great bond with the people of the country of their birth. I am more of a humanist but if I do not feel pain and happiness for Sri Lankan people then I am nothing and my humanism is a farce.
For some extent, as we all do and should do, I feel pain and happiness for other countries but the feelings for Sri Lanka and its people so intense.
Even when you were against me I admired your love for Sri Lanka.
Finally we got rid of the LTTE. It has opened a great opportunity for Sri Lanka. If any one has an iota of concern for Sri Lanka then one should what we have won is still fragile. We need a few years to brush off LTTE viral and cancer effects and have proper people friendly constitution. Enormous mega projects of development must occur.
I hope everything will be alright. These are just hick-ups, nothing else. Let us hope.
angela
"if he doesn’t have a house of his own after 40 years in the Army he must be ultra honest"
Well, that is how it must be and this is nothing to win an award over.
In any case, SF was given a land worth over $1Million and a car worth over $400,000 by this govt. as gratitude for his service.
In my view, the opportunity to server the Motherland is an utmost privilege and the fact that he was given these awards speaks volumes of the good nature, magnanimity of this MR GoSL.
Either way.....
Now the cat is out of the bag about how his SIL minted $$$millions after having put up a company that was the "go-between" in procuring most of small-medium items for the armed forces.
So RW whoredog I suggest that you do your homework before you come here and croak like an idiot.
if the sexual offences allegation is true, govt MUST immediately release those details to public.
the last thing SL needs is a rapist as the president.
that will be worse than having MERVIN as the president!!!
diyatalawa on christmas night!!!
houston we have a problem!!
a shit problem straight from the horses' mouth!!
this is unacceptable although acceptable to the 2 ppl concerned.
imagine army guys doing this????
an army officer having a secret relationship with a small SCHOOL GIRL OF 15 YEARS. not even OL completed! unacceptable.
school girl...she says.
"Seated in her office at the Army Seva Vanitha Headquarters, Anoma begins to recall the past and present of her life with her Army husband.
"My love for him began when I was a fifteen-year-old school girl," she blushes. "Well, one of the Army friends of my elder brother was invited for dinner at our place at Base Line Road, Dematagoda.
He accompanied another friend of his, and that was 'Sarath Aiya' (she calls the Army Commander by that name). He was about 22 years old and I was about 15. Since my elder sisters who were 17 and 18 were very much closer to the young Army officers' age, my mother didn't let them appear in the sitting room. And I, the youngest (probably thinking I was still a child) was sent to serve a drink for them," she laughs.
Anoma served and talked to the two young Second Lieutenants of the Sinha Regiment casually as she was quite used to befriending the mates of her elder brothers. It was not a strange thing to her at all. But this particular handsome young Army fellow who was introduced as 'Sarath' had a different approach, she thought.
His gaze was straight, though he still looked shy. He talked less and listened more. "And he is still like that," she adds, Anoma exchanged a humble yet hearty smile with him and went into the house.
'Maani' is the pet name for Anoma at home. The following day 'Maani' got a telephone call from a young man. It was 'Sarath Aiya' whom she met the previous day. They chatted a bit. Sarath pretended that he was talking to a child. Anoma was still a child, afterall.
Since then his telephone calls became a part of her life. The continuous dialogues over the phone was not a secret to her family, except to her father. In fact Anoma was still a school girl at Gothami Balika Vidyalaya, Colombo, a clever all rounder in studies, sports, music and dancing.
However Sarath knew when to phone her. During the afternoon, when her father returned to his office after lunch, and when her mother went for a nap, the phone used to ring. The youngest of the family was the only person at home to pick the receiver up.
The two Second Lieutenants once invited the whole family for lunch at the Army Mess at Echelon Square. Sarath somehow found this opportunity to sit beside Anoma at the dinning table, and tried to exchange a word with her. With great difficulty she ignored it as her father and the rest was around. However Sarath began to visit them often as a good friend of Anoma's brothers."
angelo,
"if you are with us, corruption is fine?"
yes. this is disgusting. i'm 100% sure GR knew this but kept silent.
was it bcos they depended on SF so much to lead the army???
if the sexual allegation is true, GR knew that too. but still appointed SF as the army commander. was it bcos getting the job done was more important than other things????
anyway about the investigation, better late than never.
Asian tribune article actually do more harm to the government.
I'm out friends, this is getting dirty, this is not the way to do it.
Government is loosing handle.
sam,
re: SF paying his respects to lasantha
i find the way the garland is placed, FUNNY. it covers lasantha's face!!!
looks to me that he was forced to do it.
desha,
yes.
but mate, you look from a political pov.
we have to first establish the truth or otherwise of the allegations.
wrongdoings must be highlighted and punished.
wrongs are committed by commission and omission.

Care to clarify of what you meant by "out?"
MD, I dont know what to say. AT cannot do this by themselves some one in the army or governmnet should be involved, might be the commander who was harresed and insulted by SF.
If government is doing this, they are in serious trouble, people start acting stupidly when they sense defeat.
"Gen. (retd.) Fonseka told the Sunday Times his son-in-law was not associated with the Sri Lankan registered firm Hicorp. He was only involved with the company operating in the United States. However, the Sri Lankan firm, operated by the son of a retired Air Force officer, had given his son-in-law's name and address as the contact point."
then how the hell the local hicorp's arms dealer randy knows danuna's MOTHER (AMMA) SOOOO WELL that he includes her as a referee????????????
AMAZING cover letter written by the HICORP SL main arms dealer!!
randy is the arms dealer of HICORP
BTW randy and danuna don't waste your time deleting these. i have copied them!!
our good general has learned to LIE from ranil!!
desha,
yes.
that's why said yesterday, govt should NOT make these statements.
instead they should INVESTIGATE the thing by taking all these allegations secretly.
now ranil, mangala, sarath, kerialla, mano will come up with a "retaliation" strike.
Ananda,
cheers mate.
when it comes to SL's defence, i play NO POLITICS (like you and other REAL patriots).
our aligiance is to SL and that will not change.
Care to clarify of what you meant by "out?"
Sam, even I dont know. I was going to take an active stance against SF, just because I believe he is not the best person to lead the country now.
But I dont want to see the personal character of a national hero shredded like this, I dont want my name to be in association with that.
They just should not have gone to the womanizer part, the other allegations were quite a handful.
I thought the fight could be kept to professional conduct and professional character, personal life should have been kept out.
I'm sure MR might be furious now, he might be broken than SF.
Remember when LTTE got Premadasa, first they got his opponent Lalith, made the people accuse Premadasa, this broke the man and made him vulnerable.
I need to keep off of Sri Lankan media for some time.

On August 17, Lanka enews publish this letter from General Fonseka with headline "General Fonseka launches political campaign
Addresses the nation via e-mail
2009-08-17 | 5.05 PM" Later on 2009-08-23 | 7.30 PM Lanka enews issue apology and statement "General Sarath Fonseka denies circulating statements via sarath.fonseka.2010@gmail.com to the President and Defence Secretary" Then no one knew whether general's letter was fake or true. Today we can compare 2009-08-17 letter to general's official resignation letter in Sunday Times. Both letters written by Sinhala speaking person writing in English.
Not by Ranil Wickemasinghe, lawyer or Managala Monoesinghe who speaks very good English. We now know why general was so angry.
above
.....................................
Former Army Chief General Sarath Fonseka has fired the first salvo signaling his entry into the political scene by circulating an e-mail address to the nation. The e-mail states, When I was a young kid in school, I learnt the
Great king of Dutu Gemunu who united Mother Lanka! Today we taste the same freedom & joy in our father s land. My best fear is that we will no more enjoy this freedom. The separatism comes in a different form. Now we have a daunting task to protect our motherland from India and the western world. We
defeated separatism and strengthened the political mainstream in the country.
Fonseka s e-mail was also forwarded to our e-mail and we have re-produced in full the statement issued by him.
Dear Fellow citizens,
Let me first salute the fallen heroes of Sri Lanka who made a supreme sacrifice to defend the motherland from the clutches of terrorism. We are indebted to them for generation to come for rescuing the nation from the grip of terrorism and protecting the territory and integrity of Sri Lanka.
For those who made the noble sacrifice for this supreme cause we will never be able to pay their debt. They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn at the going dawn of the
sun, and in the morning we will remember them lest we forget.
When I was a young kid in school, I learnt the Great king of Dutu Gemunu who united Mother Lanka! Today we taste the same freedom & joy in our fathers land. My best fear is that we will no more enjoy this freedom. The separatism comes in a different form. Now we have a daunting task to protect our motherland from India and the western world. We defeated separatism and strengthened the political mainstream in the country.
I am sadden to understand that our politicians are conniving with India and western world to separate the country in a different way. The proposed political solution through the 13th Amendment would foil the military victory and create a division in the country. If the present Sri Lankan leaders are going to sing the same old song which was solely composed by
India in 1987 for their own benefit, then the recent military victory would be a total loss and in vain.
The saddest thing for Sri Lanka is its worst neighborhood. India never
helped Sri Lanka genuinely but always had its profitable motivation behind every move or planted problems in Sri Lanka for a short term or long term.
Can somebody forget what happened when Sri Lanka requested Indian help to fight terrorism? They always bowed to Tamilnadu pressure and twisted the hands of Sri Lankan governments. Thankful to Pakistan, China, Middle East and few other countries Sri Lanka could wipe-out the terrorism completely.
The government is planning to provide a political solution to the national problem through the 13th Amendment. India and several western countries are attempting to thrust upon us a proposed political solution against the wishes of all communities in Sri Lanka. If the Thirteenth Amendment is to going to be implemented, then it is like the Ealam the terrorists were fighting for is granted and presented and that will be a most traitorous act
of all time!
This is against my wish and wish of all the citizens of the country. I will make a supreme sacrifice to defend my land against the politicos who ever they may be joining hands with India and western world. I salute the valiant
soldiers of the Army of Sri Lanka, emerging victoriously from their
determined struggle against international terrorism. Please give me your full cooperation to protect our motherland.
Yours Sincerely,
Sgd. General Sarath Fonseka RWP, RSP, VSV, USP

Panhinda;
[[whatever dirty linen, i am pretty confident last war there were could not have been deliberate targeting of innocent tamil civilains. only losing army commit crime against the innocent]]
Me thinks same. It is cheap political mileage to call either side of killing INNOCENT civilians DELIBERATELY.
We had this debate often. Certainly when SLDF takes on a necessary target they found some innocent ppl being tied down to it. In such cases it is not a civilian killing conducted by SLDF, but the LTTE.
SLDF had no particular reason to conduct such acts indeed. Well said.
[["political wing" of LTTE and their close families have for years aided and abetted terror against tamils themselves - hence cannot be classified as "innocent". their punishments extra judicial maybe but in war as in love there are no rules.]]
Most killed parties, despite whether they held weapons or not, were strong elements of the violence unleashed by pussycats and therefore they are terrorists who should be killed. In the same way, we have seen Israel killing ppl like university profs, and clerics whom nurse terrorism, and it is still considered as a legitimate part of war against terror.
Therefore, most of so called civilians [except for much less number of "unavoidable mistakes"] are terras, and in fact every terra is a civilian, and hence they're right in that view.
[[whatever the case, let the parties involved bring out all allegations against. they will also defend themselves on media using pen only. the public will decide who is right.]]
Nop. This is not a topic they shud freely bring out. Nobody exposes such facts after war. And we have a very unfair panel of judges in intl community. They take 1 fact against us so serious but 1 mill facts against our enemy are ignored.
Sadly both SF and MR camps are failing me by a big number as they seem to dig into matters of national security concern, just to fulfill their cheap political goals. Pathetic at best.
[[this is a long overdue cleansing process. this is needed to make a new start for sri lanka. in many ways a "truth commission" as taken place after conflict in other theaters of war.]]
As long as SL is left with her own matters this is OK. But this is not to be the case. There are so many intl parties who await for such info to backlash SL politicians in such a way their evil goals are fulfilled. It is not purely in SF side, but they use both sides. This is one of the objectives in the multi-purpose SF affair as far as some external forces are concerned. SF plays to their tune so far. And so does govt.
Again as pathetic and low as it could be.
End to Mervins and Mervin culture.
Future belongs to SF and RW!
"DUSHANAYA BUNGA WEWA"
"SF JAYAWEWA"
Viewers, Urge all of you to go through the Hindutan Times article (http://www.adaderana.lk/news.php?nid=6298) again and again. I have been looking for the missing part of the so-called break up between Mahinda Rajapaksa and Sarath Fonseka, after their hard bond for 3 years. When SF was attacked MR took care of him very well, he was sent abroad for treatments and saving life was absolutely a miracle. Immediately after he was on his feet, he started planning destroying LTTE. There weren’t any hiccups and all of them, MR, SF, GR etc on the same wavelength when they were going public. What really made these three friends separated and ultimately rivals? It’s clear as crystal now; it’s India, NOT weapon deals or ego! Don’t agree? here’s the evidence.
1. Read the article given above, they are still claiming the LTTE issue a home grown one, But we all know it was RAW with Indira Ghandi created these seeds, to teach us a lesson since we were liking US butt, during JR regime.
2. India has been so afraid of Sri Lanka, from the begging, that it will become a stringer nation than them, in terms of military and economy. They managed to kill its economy through the 30 years war and that deviously made us much stronger than India, in terms of Military. We are currently having close to 300K military with war harden experience, not just monkey head like India having. I don’t have to mention how those so-called ‘Commandos’ and ‘Black Cats’ handle the Mombai attack. It was so humiliating for them as a country, rather as a self-declared super power in the region.
3. In many news articles published in India, showed their displeasure over keeping stronger military in this tiny island. India FM and many other delegates had influenced MR to avoid FS determination of increasing the 400K strong army. In fact, once I saw in an article that some Indian sources had warned the SL government that moving so many MBT to the BMICH during the Army 60th anniversary was to capture the capital by SF. And ignorant MR and brother worried about it and swallowed the bite.
4. Not to mention, India did not gave us any military hardware, during the last war and pushed us so much to abandon the path it took, that is military option. When they realized that this, the time the right combination of Military leadership, political leadership and most importantly the people of SL has chosen the path of war, they had to provide minimum help by not confronting it with adverse options.
5. Now war is end, the biggest and easily sellable single item in the world to avoid happening business, is over. India knows that with the help of China we can get our economy stronger in a short period. Hambanthota port is just a tip of the iceberg of that, but one the most affecting development of SL that could easily break the Indian ports like Mombai and Chennai. (Don’t forget that greedy Indian leaders tried to broaden the palk strait, as soon as they smelled the Hambanthota port, since they were quite aware of the aftermath)
6. Today SL stands in front of the world as a war hero, which successfully destroyed a ruthless terrorist organization and so eagerly waiting to conquer the economy as well. All the right ingredients were there, we just had to mix it and bake the cake. Bingo here comes the MR/SF issue. The military leadership and political
leadership have been successfully separated. MORE THAN THAT, THE STRONG SRI LANKAN ARMY HAS BEEN BROKEN. We can see today, ARMY is not talking as a UNIT, but as UNITS such as Sinha and Armedcore . In press conferences, so-called Army spokesmen talk ills of their ex-commander, who gave the life and breath for the war. Current Army chief talks nonuse about his ex-commander. What has happened here? We all blame western countries, but we don’t see the enemy at the gate!
7. MR has become so weak, at least for the last few months and has no strength to put a strong single policy on international matters. We were so unable to win the wealthy nations like US, Canada and EU, even after the end of war. Our international diplomats were not pushed enough by the government to do that. After 7 months of winning war, we are still struggling to convince them that we were right and what we did was necessary. Whose fault is that? More than that MR and it’s government has come under pressure of India to reduce the army, and oil exploration activities. They gave up the KKS cement plant Birla group. There many more.
8. What SL need is a very strong and effective systems to guard our boundaries. We have to be military stronger to face the enemy, either it’s terrorist or India. Even we become strong in economy, with out a strong army, the enemies find it’s so easy to break us again and destroy our economy. Where India specifically like to us is as weak and unbroken island. They don’t want is to become anther Somalia or Nigeriea, but stay where we are and just maintain the current level of standards. They don’t want us to be so poor because then it’s going effect them in many ways and at the same time not be richer than them as well, since then loose the so-called status of ‘super power’ in the region.
9. Look at us today. We are getting where India wanted us to be. Weaken Army. Military and Political leadership is separated. Unsettled political era. Extremely good time for enemy to infiltrate. Our political leadership has failed to recognize this and do what had to be done and continue to attack each other. Situation is getting worst.
10. Friends, please do not get washed away by these lies flooding around you. Open your eyes and ears and try to understand what really happened to us, within just little as 6 months, after winning 30 years of war.
11. What we need is a strong leadership to lead us to the right directions. I honestly don’t think current political leadership and his mates can do it. They are so dead, they are so weak. They are so ‘political’. What we need is ‘MAN’ with a strong heart and a head, who can do dare dives.
12. That’s what INDIA is afraid of!
13. That’s what SRI LANKA NEED!!
Nilupul the true Patriot,
Thank you so mush for your posts which will helps our blind blogers to open their eyes.
I hope Fukkfake Aiya too read all those posts.
From the beginning I also needed our blogers to know the same. India is behind all these.
Thank you so much brother and expect more from you.
Nilupul,
So who do you suggest as this 'MAN' with a strong heart and head?
It’s clear as crystal now; it’s India, NOT weapon deals or ego!
Some bloggers here trying to become smart saying same thing again and again about weapon deals but they do not know at the end of the day they will become the traitors of Mother Lanka since they do what really India expecting.
Question now is not whether India made friends unfriends.
The question now is did GR and MR appoint a rapist for the posr the post of Army Gerneral knowingly?
If so, was it also the work of India?
If the rape accusation oagainst SF is correcet (if correct, if correct, if correct) did India make him do the rapes?
Swarnajith Udana,
You are talking about the past fault propaganda, we are concern about the future of Sri Lanka. Don't waste your time and others.
This bringing India in to the equation has been planned by SF Campaign? ( I do not know).
In Ada Deran SF is saying India was putting pressure on Sri Lanka to stop the war?
What it seems is an illusion. What really is hidden underneath.
" General Sarath Fonseka speaking to reporters a short while ago acknowledged that political leadership did play a key role in the victory over the LTTE. "
There are lot of things that MR&Co has to learn from SF.
So David W:
A Rapist for President = bright future (if it is true).
Now I see what kind of future is that you are talking about.
Who is wasting whose time advocating rapes by head of states?
Not only this, but there will be lot of allegations which will be ended up with
(if it is true)
(if it is true)
(if it is true)
(if it is true)
(if it is true)
...
and there is nothing true. Let them to come up with evident.
There is something that does not end up with "if true"
SF became the lap dog of Ranil/Mangala bunch who were accusing him of Lasantha's killing.
Now SF has taken Ranil Mangala bunch to his lap
There nothing here in this if true?
Winging in the resignation letter-There is nothing there if true
Keith does not have to be scared if he has not done anything wrong-despotic-There is nothing there "if true'
The letter to the military personnel- There is nothing wrong if true.
If one cannot see this, can it be true?
I will not try to wake up people who pretend to sleep.
I am going to a sleep clinic to check whether I am pretending to sleep.

Political leadership also has played a role in the war against the LTTE but UNP/Ranil/Mangala/Mano Ganeshan played even a bigger role in the defeat of the LTTE. Therefore I want to give credit to much more contributory side. For this reason I joined Ranil/Mangal/Mano bunch.
Oh I see:
There is nothing here "if true"
Swarnajith,
oi.. thamuselata pure military victory kiyala kiwwath methana baila gahai.. aththa kiwwath wikara dhodawana..
Gihin indiyawata puka denawa io..
I do not respond to any vulgarism. That is not my style and my core.
Why Mervin is not kicked out of the government?
It is rumored that he is the pimp who brings women for MR.
If true That is terrible.
But it is just a rumor. Who knows? It can be a another character assassination mud.
Nilupul,
Great post bro, Thanks you1!
Anticorra,
Mervin is Mahinda's younger days.
Mahindayage okkoma sizesui partui lankawe inna ahinsaka inta witharai, Indiyawata baye danis deka gehenawa.
Kelaniye num sarama ussagena yai Mervia ekka.
Anticorra,
Not only Mervin there are some other popular characters too.
----
Mervin needed to promote the underworld in order to facilitate his Kudu business with his son with the help of Navy but Namal Rajapaksa was always against this.
SF needed only one armed group in SL ; SL defence foreces. SF needed finish underworld and Mervin was against that. Mervin still can't forget the day that his best friend Prince Colum was killed. This is a good opportunity to Mervin to get the revenge from SF :)
