That's why we fought over the A-9. Unfortunately, LTTE is a guerrilla organization. It hardly ever use MSRs to supply its cadres. They usually rely on local people, their food stocks, if they go hungry. They also do not fire heavy volumes of arti/mortars at SLA from all directions, unless there's a definite plan to do so. They have mobile arti and mortar units, which are difficult to be starved of ammo. Many of their existing weapons dumps were buried many years ago, during the cease-fire.Defencewirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358848115700373983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-66940252562525493932008-02-11T21:22:00.000+05:302008-02-11T21:22:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.mavKFIRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00779834959946614452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-14725481248108995462008-02-11T21:03:00.000+05:302008-02-11T21:03:00.000+05:30mavkefir!No swaet!!:)regards'mavkefir!<BR/><BR/>No swaet!!<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>regards'Thushanthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780115708648348489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-6083361171804448742008-02-11T20:58:00.000+05:302008-02-11T20:58:00.000+05:30ThushanthikaI'm very sorry for my hurried post.

Talking about pluralism… can you imagine where we would be if we harnessed the commitment and the ingenuity of the current misled LTTE cadres towards national development? With no war we would have developed the biggest little miracle in the world. We must not forget that the amazing advances in the human development we experienced in the 60s, 70s and 80s (and still do to a certain extent) was a collective effort of all people in the country.

He has actively touted the ‘Tamil homeland’concept in addition to lobbying for a US ‘special envoy’ to Sri Lanka. In February 2007, diaspora Tamils signed an online petition thanking Holt for his initiatives, particularly, for calling for a special high-level US envoy to oversee Sri Lankan affairs. "I wish to convey to you that you and your colleagues have won the hearts of the Tamils living all over the US and all over the continent of Europe," the thank-you letter signed by over 300 Tamils said.<BR/><BR/>Holt’s most recent effort on behalf of the Eelam lobby was a letter to President Bush, co-authored with Congressman Price, in July of 2007. Signed by forty legislators, including Sherman and Davis, it called for the enhancement of the UN presence in Sri Lanka and increased US pressure on the Sri Lankan government to ‘take active measures to end extrajudicial killings and disappearances.’ Almost as a postscript, the authors threw in a call to the Treasury Department to ‘enhance efforts to disrupt LTTE financing.'"NOLTTE=Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767248674450054730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-31799783421805367482008-02-11T07:40:00.000+05:302008-02-11T07:40:00.000+05:30sam,Thanks for the heads-up.

Majority of them want to live peacefully. <BR/><BR/>Silva, either you have not lived in Sri Lanka enough, or have not exposed to the Tamils of Sri Lanka. <BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, we all have to learn and accept 'pluralism' and live in a society practicing tolerance for each other. <BR/><BR/>EELAM mentality is a virus that has infected many Tamils who have been brain-washed and misled through many mythical creations of number of interested parties. <BR/><BR/>However, if the LTTE was defeated, and the leadership circle (the Board of Directors and Management) were eliminated, this whole terrorism and mythical Eelam would evaporate. <BR/><BR/>That's why the GOSL should concentrate on eliminating the central circle of LTTE, and put a secondary focus on the peripheral (who are in FDLs). <BR/><BR/>Remember the JVP, not every Sinhalese lived in the South supported JVP when they had this whole insurgency. When the maniac and the Management Team who advocated JVP insurgency were eliminated, it all stopped. <BR/><BR/>The same theory applies. LTTE can be defeated. There is no two words about it. It has been 25 years over-due. Now it has so mature that task is much difficult than 20 years ago. <BR/><BR/>The Tamils themselves play a huge part in GOSL's effort in defeating LTTE central leadership. Their are many enlightened Tamils, who now come to the senses that for the last 25 years LTTE destroyed lives of thousands of Tamils, following a mythical Eelam. <BR/><BR/>What Sri Lanka needs is a truly unified state that can effectively answer the challenges of Globalisation. Division is not the answer, but unity is. <BR/><BR/><BR/>GE, Tangara glad you are back.NOLTTE=Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767248674450054730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-1397161863652887412008-02-10T22:20:00.000+05:302008-02-10T22:20:00.000+05:30Defencewire/guysTamilnet.com:16 SLA troopers loose...Defencewire/guys<BR/><BR/>Tamilnet.com:<BR/><BR/>16 SLA troopers loose their limbs in Mannaar FDLs<BR/><BR/>More than sixteen Sri Lanka Army (SLA) troops have lost their legs caught in booby traps at the Front Defence Line (FDL) positions in Pa’ndivirichchaan, Mu’l’likku’lam and Vi’laaththikku’lam in Mannaar district, since Friday, Mannaar LTTE Operations Command said.<BR/><BR/>The disabled troopers are members of the SLA Deep Penetration Unit and those deployed by SLA in the intermittent advance attempts to break into LTTE FDLs.<BR/>------------------------------------<BR/>Tiger snipers kill 4 SLA troops in Paa'laikuzhi<BR/><BR/>any info on whats going on ?LKDOODhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18426997279106115254noreply@blogger.com
