Why does one hear very little about captives or prisoners of war in this campaign? On the Sl or LTT side. No prisoners being taken? Sounds grim.<BR/><BR/>2. What do y'all mean by chena and/ or modaya? Nothing good I suspect. :)Saulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402531543262544611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-48378682775003723092009-01-10T14:20:00.000+05:302009-01-10T14:20:00.000+05:30gotymbara,"Other than lttp problem, this coun...gotymbara,<BR/><BR/>"Other than lttp problem, this country is ruined by our politicians only. Since the day britiah gave us half indipedence back in 1948,tell me how many politicians ruled the country?????"<BR/><BR/>I think the MAIN problem is LTTE. comparing LTTE to local politicians is like comparing a massive heart attack to a common cold. it was the LTTE that land mined 13 soldiers & opened a pandoras box.<BR/><BR/>with that act everything got militarized & paved the way for crooked politicians & business deals. JR's selfish postponement of elections & shit constitution didn't help.<BR/><BR/>But if u look around we see plenty of businesses that have come up thru the enterprise of hard working people. they employ hundreds. some of these businessman are from the outstation areas who know the value of money & hard life not having even the ability of spoken english. we need much more people like this. (entreprenuers). it's amazing. some of them employ fully qualified CIMA accountants.<BR/><BR/>while i admit that politicians do major shit, blaming them for everything doesn't work. we're the people who elect them. so we should work towards our own salvation at a personal level as well as national level. i think we have started going in the right direction. we gotta have a benevolent dictator. like singapore & malaysia has.<BR/><BR/>we must aim to be more developed than those countries & attract qualified people. it's highly possible. what isn't?<BR/><BR/>2 years ago everybody had given up on national liberation. today?velluprabhakaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117690670419343114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-87907120553552053052009-01-09T18:34:00.000+05:302009-01-09T18:34:00.000+05:30excellent news.only a few more days for the whole ...excellent news.only a few more days for the whole country to be under the lion flag!<BR/><BR/>parakum<BR/>by the way I found the following article published recently in daily news very appealing under Terrorism silver lining by one Charith ;<BR/>Sri Lanka has been plagued by terrorism for over two decades now which has brought death and destruction in abundance and hindered the progress of the country seriously. For a predominantly Buddhist country this is more than a bitter pill to swallow. Had Prabakaran been considered to be an honest and trustworthy figure there is no doubt the majority of Buddhists might have conceded to accept any demand of the LTTE for a lasting permanent peace.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>It was not the case to be. We are in the middle of an attrition war if not won would destroy our social fabric. It was a hobson's choice for the true Sri Lankan. Division of the country would not end in amicability and friendship but just sleep walking to future border conflicts, invasions and wars leading to much worse tragedies than now to our future generations. <BR/><BR/>Our politicians have taken more than a decade or two to realise that the LTTE has to be crushed militarily to stop this carnage. Nothing can mitigate the pain and sorrow Sri Lanka has endured as a nation as a result of the terrorism but a few hard facts have emerged through this burning wreck to give us some consolation.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Sri Lanka had only a ceremonial army until the terrorism struck the country, a small group of thugs waving sticks and guns could have taken Sri Lanka over anytime then. <BR/><BR/>India has been struggling to contain separatism in many states for so long and if Tamil Nadu were to form an independent state then the prospects for Sri Lanka would have been very grim. It would have been just a cakewalk for them on the very next day when we were saddled with the ceremonial army. LTTE has brought this realism to the fore for us fortunately and if the unthinkable does happen in the future such callous judgement from Tamil Nadu is unlikely to happen anymore. Credit goes to LTTE for raising this matter internally because an external force could have made grave consequences to Sri Lanka.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Our army has now become strong and has gained credit the world over for its professionalism. It may currently be one of best fighting units in the world in jungle warfare. No Sri Lankan in his or her wildest dream ever would have imagined to allocate such an enormous budget for the defence especially when the nation is struggling with such severe economic hardships. No political leader ever would have dared even to mention such a need in the defence budget in normal circumstances. However the LTTE gave us the wake up call that was needed and in spite of all the hardships the Sri lankans have risen up to transform the military to a fighting unit with a huge defence budget.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>The war may be soon over but the harsh realities of the modern unstable world dictate that we should not only maintain but in fact increase the budget for the defence to prevent the terrorism to raise its ugly head again. We do not want our future generation to suffer as we did by any means. The best example for this strategy could be taken from our neighbouring India where people still starve to death and are forced to eat rats in some tribal villages due to poverty. Notwithstanding these India maintains the world's fourth largest army and sends rockets to moon at staggering costs. There is no opposition to a sky high defence budget as Indians have learnt to put the country first policy after several wars. Lack of a war threat to Sri Lanka made our previous leaders to neglect the military. Once the army has beaten the terrorists the Navy should get the top notch in our future defence strategy. When some unfortunate nationalities in the world fight to call a land of theirs we have a gem of a land to protect and safeguard.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>There are other huge benefits that came along with the terrorism. Winning this war will definitely change the whole psyche of Tamil Nadu. Until recent times we were looked down upon by some Tamil Nadu jokers as sort of a mini state that could be manipulated to their whims and fancies rather than as a sovereign nation. It is probably a reflection of their own realism that they can never be a sovereign nation that they tried to consider us also to be. However no word of discord ever uttered from Sri Lanka to hurt their feelings for fear of reprisals from the centre and therefore no wonder it was taken for granted by them that they could interfere in our internal affairs with impunity. Holding Sri Lanka to ransom by threats of invasion, crossing the palk straits with goons and flotillas of boats and fasting unto death exectra were common place.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>We have shown in no uncertain terms where is our rightful place in contrast to theirs during this war. This war has given the nation the rare opportunity to shine as a sovereign independent country against all odds showing strength and character to the whole world. <BR/><BR/>Terrorism has opened the eyes of this sleeping nation to rally round the government and the military to take effective steps to safeguard the country. A new sense of patriotism and pride has reawakened the nation from sleeping slumbers. The whole country has bravely padded unto a war front with immense sacrifices recognising and acclaiming our political and military heroes. Americans and Western nations would have been proud to have in their lands at a time of such a war those patriotic sentiments uttered by our citizens and poll results generated in favour of war notwithstanding the great sacrifices and calamity. Nowhere in the modern history in Sri Lanka such patriotic forces have bonded the nation together as independence from the colonial masters was given on a platter without a military struggle. Sri Lankan diaspora has taken the fight to the international borders shouting and waving flags just as seen in a thrilling cricket match abroad.<BR/><BR/>Terrorism paved the way for such patriotic fervour to the people.<BR/><BR/>The knowledge and expertise the Army gained through inching across every nook and corner in the whole Northeast would be an added blessing in future security planning for the country. <BR/><BR/>Cinema and television have come to the forefront of nations in the modern world to project its nationalistic and proud image. Their movies and soap operas are full of stories depicting bravery and patriotism to the motherland. Sri Lankan Cinema unfortunately has failed miserably in this front probably due to lack of heroic material in the history of modern Sri Lanka.<BR/><BR/>This void is now amply fulfilled with heroics and bravery from our military and political fronts, which could be made to surfeit of stories to infuse and develop our film industry and to inject pride in our future generations. Therefore this war could turn out to be a boon to our film industry now in dire straits.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>There are two major forces that unite the South Asian diaspora in the world to their native lands. One is cricket and the other being the cinema. Sri Lanka is way up in front with relation to cricket bonding the diaspora together but our film and music industry needs to take the challenge and rise up to fulfil this shortcoming.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Terrorism has brought back our self-esteem and respect and the rightful stand in the international community as an independent and a sovereign country. We were bending over backwards to please anything foreign be it personals or organisations even at the expense of damaging our image and integrity. Any foreign advice, how daft that sounded was considered the gospel truth. Our past inept leaders never dared to differ or challenge anything foreign leading the country to disaster and humiliation. What swift change the terrorism has brought us in this regard. We have strong leaders who can challenge and withstand foreign adversity to the betterment of the country. Hundreds of such warnings and advice fall by the wayside while the country is marching forward.<BR/><BR/>Sri Lankans world over can stand and applaud the country with dignity and respect. <BR/><BR/>We have now had leaders who could call a spade a spade without fear or submission. <BR/><BR/>Be it UN leaders or human right leaders or diplomats or political leaders from other countries they were put in their right place with bold and brave broadcasts of what we thought of them by our strong leaders. We show that we are not timid to take anything damaging lying down.<BR/><BR/>Terror has brought our self-confidence and valour to the fore.<BR/><BR/>It brings nothing but sheer joy to the true patriotic Lankans to see how our political and military leadership withstood and resisted the immense pressures and threats brought on them by so called Co Chairs, European and American establishments, Christian Churches, INGOs, NGOs and human right activists, all misguided.<BR/><BR/>Looking back at these developments I am certain our future generations will hold us in awesome admiration and gratitude!parakumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941941610807867569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-60075418907481407092009-01-09T17:59:00.000+05:302009-01-09T17:59:00.000+05:30["Elephant Pass, the gateway to the Jaffna peninsu...["Elephant Pass, the gateway to the Jaffna peninsula is now under the total control of security forces", news reports from the battlefront read.

Since the day britiah gave us half indipedence back in 1948,tell me how many politicians ruled the country?????<BR/><BR/>D.S.S. one genuine politician. Sir John Kothalawala didn't disturbed much but loved this country like anything.<BR/><BR/>SWRD...In recent history he is the one most responsible for giving starter to the present situation in SL. He changed his religion because of he loved/believed bhuddism.He couldn't speak mother toungh and learnt it because of greedy of power he did this all. And finally put the petrol to the fire almost burning under the ashes. Do you think it is the patriotism???? No its using racialism to take power.He went to hell leaving that fire on us.<BR/><BR/>Sirimavo,<BR/>She started to some thing for this country and went out of control because of her rathu brothers haal/miris polu.Fucked the people and gave the JR upper hand.<BR/><BR/>JRJ,<BR/><BR/>Everybody thought he was a political master/genius who has American backup for everything, my balls.<BR/><BR/>1) Most disarstrous thing he did was letting so called Desha premin's to run loose in 23rd July 1983 when Lt Vaas Gunawardhana and 13 heros funeral at Borella cemetary.If he gave shoot on sight orders to the police and army and stopped it he would have ben unpopular among sinhalese for little time but i call then he would have avoided the ltte's express train recognise by IC. He blindly believed America would come to help SL. Indira Ghandi didn't like European biased JR and its open echonomic policies and asked RAW agents to pick up tamil terrorists and train them against SL.<BR/>2) He started open economy and went out of control. His bussiness friends/relatives took full advantage of free trade and destroyed the local product. Can you guys imgine the impact on tamils. They produced best onions/mangos/chillies/fresh fish every morning/bananas/vegitables. What happened to them. Same like our farmers in sinhala areas. no differance.<BR/><BR/>3) And the perks he gave to politicians.Duty free cars/petrol allowance......etc. Chit MP positions because of election system where as president can appoint any murderer/thug to parliment( Ciril Mathew/Mervin Silva.........).

The main task of Div 55, that I proposed is to move along the East coast, sweeping the region between A35 and the sea, while Div 53 does the same along A-35 and the landward side. Both Divs will move essentially parallel to A35, side-by-side.<BR/><BR/>Div 55 will meet either one Brigade of Div 59, or the Air Mobile Brigade of Div 53 moving up North along A35 on the seaward side, from the Mullaitivu area. The other Brigades of Div 59 will confront and overcome the Puthukuidyiruppu defences and then move North along A35.Ananda-USAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271938845222503043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-17433265768314656542009-01-09T12:26:00.000+05:302009-01-09T12:26:00.000+05:30Blogger Nisal said...Guys, What should GoSL do...<I>Blogger Nisal said...<BR/>Guys,<BR/> What should GoSL do after the fall of EPS (A9 opening). </I><BR/>Of course there will be some celebrations in Colombo since we as people of this country should have a chance to salute our forces. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, now we should not give a slightest chance to the LTTE to get up on their feet.

His analysis was later followed up in several pro-LTTE media, igniting hope for the LTTE's military campaign. One of the central points of that article was that LTTE hierarchy is allowing the spreading of SLDFs over larger area so that tigers can penetrate through a few weak points in the Army defenses. Unfortunately for the cats, this is highly unlikely to happen. Several reasons for this:<BR/><BR/>1. Unlike the previous Eelam wars, our battle planners are putting a lot of effort on "defense in depth".<BR/><BR/>2. The above has been facilitated by force multiplying effects of the SF units, MBRL-ARti units and the armor units (all of which that LTTE lack - LTTE has SF units are not directly compared to our men).<BR/><BR/>3. LRRP units working in deep-enemy space (these units are now in the Mullativu jungles!). These does not allow the tigers to concentrate cadres for a major assault against us (SLAF, MBRL attacks can be called in by these units as well).<BR/><BR/>4. Two of the most coveted armored units have not been unleashed as yet (Because of their high mobility and firepower, these units can effectively be used to cover a large open area); and also they can be used to breach the Tiger FDL by using techniques like attacking on a center of gravity. These units can also be made to do "thunder runs" into and out of the Northern Mullativu area, unsettling the cats greatly.<BR/><BR/>5. Influx of newly trained divisions for both defensive and offensive roles.<BR/><BR/>6. force multiplier effect of the Navy and SLAF units.<BR/><BR/>7. Shrinking of the tiger FDL. This gives us a smaller effective area to concentrate on. <BR/><BR/>Hope Arush (and other tiger supporters see this) and comment.Roverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17767233435017760334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-10193679219434635512009-01-09T11:57:00.000+05:302009-01-09T11:57:00.000+05:30when the civilians start escaping LTTE clutches th...when the civilians start escaping LTTE clutches they'll start singing so loud to sla not a single LTTE cadre will be spared. everything will come out with names & evidence.<BR/><BR/>even the LTTE cadres will start the blame game & start ratting on each other.<BR/><BR/>it'll be fucking interesting to watch the ship sink.velluprabhakaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117690670419343114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-62750369844022230892009-01-09T11:55:00.001+05:302009-01-09T11:55:00.001+05:30S.Degamboda ,I am really surprised to see your com...S.Degamboda ,<BR/><BR/>I am really surprised to see your comments on this MTV/MBC attack since your profile states that you are located in Colombo. I will not take it serious if a person from another country says like this since they are not that close to the ground realities of Sri Lanka. It is clear that this is a set up by themselves even for a 4 year old girl could understand that. <BR/>If you really can't convince that to your self, then please ask some friend of yours who works in MTV/NBC and they will tell you the story. Their latest and high tech branded equipments were safely moved to Rathmalana and especially to the Kompanna Weediya (Slave island) premises. If you have any contacts, just make a visit and see them by your own eyes. <BR/><BR/>I am ok with ,<BR/>Freedom of media should be established in our <B>Country</B>, Democracy should be established in our <B>Country</B> ...etc <BR/><BR/>BUT remember we should have a <B>Country</B> first to enjoy them. "MR and the GOSL" so called Sahodara samagama is doing that for us after a very long time. Please join the freedom fight of Sri Lankans or just get thrown away into the garbage collector of History like RW and Mongala clown ... etcrebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790925705601300179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-70504450562967316182009-01-09T11:55:00.000+05:302009-01-09T11:55:00.000+05:30LW had a 121. seems like Norwegian funds were very...LW had a 121. seems like Norwegian funds were very small LOL..duzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562681769829634134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-80468896133075722202009-01-09T11:54:00.001+05:302009-01-09T11:54:00.001+05:30Army.lk has hinted out the fall of EPS:))March to ...Army.lk has hinted out the fall of EPS<BR/><BR/>:))<BR/><BR/><I>March to Elephant Pass Now On <BR/>2009-01-09 11:45:43<BR/><BR/>KILINOCHCHI: AS the final push for LTTE strongholds of MULLAITTIVU and the ELEPHANT PASS is on, 53 and 55 Division troops after capture of PALLAI and SORANPATTU areas are now marching towards the ELEPHANT PASS past ILANKATTU as Friday (9) morning, the Army Headquarters declared.<BR/><BR/> It is believed the entire road patch between MUHAMALE and PARANTHAN on the A-9 Highway would soon turn clear with the fall of the ELEPHANT PASS at any moment from now onwards.</I>DoDohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664740073580581437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-32834140231511057402009-01-09T11:54:00.000+05:302009-01-09T11:54:00.000+05:30ananda,sorry, i didn't specify. but you got it...ananda,<BR/><BR/>sorry, i didn't specify. <BR/><BR/>but you got it right. the problem arises due to the 'small' size of the area north of A35 where 58 is operating and 53 and 55 will land.<BR/><BR/>"Div 55 should move along the narrow East coast road through the Chundikulam Wildlife sanctuary and attempt to clear the East coast of the seaboard parallel to the A-35 route. They will hit the A-35 fortifications towards the sea."<BR/> <BR/>i don't think this is practical.<BR/><BR/>1. this way is unpassable for a large troop and there is no "work" there.<BR/><BR/>2. 58 can handle this area<BR/><BR/>the plan not to have gaps in between is important. for this to happen, 55 (if it will be spearheading an offense) should be relocated to somewhere else, unless 58 is relocated. <BR/><BR/>but since 58 has started its hunt, it is not wise to shake them up.<BR/><BR/>else 55 will be redundant!!! (not really!!)<BR/><BR/>another little thing.<BR/><BR/>1. 57 & 59 MOSTLY had inland exposure.<BR/><BR/>2. 58, 55 & 53 had a wide sea-front exposure.<BR/><BR/>questions.<BR/><BR/>1. does it matter?<BR/><BR/>2. if so, how will it change their FUTURE deployment?<BR/><BR/>3. how about the 'good old' 55 joining the 'newbie' 59???<BR/><BR/>this is like gary kasporof stuff!!!Moshe Dyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762527540378686097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-80081095556129046102009-01-09T11:53:00.000+05:302009-01-09T11:53:00.000+05:30Vajira,Sorry mate...Currently I am getting info fr...Vajira,<BR/><BR/>Sorry mate...<BR/><BR/>Currently I am getting info from my source at Anuradhapura.
