We need to send high quality scotch, in addition to the usual food rations to all those tamil civillians who are providing very valuable ground info to make targetting so precise.

..and the wal-kotiyas are trying to say that they represent the guys who totally resent them, hate them enough to give information about their whereabouts even to the enenmy.

That's what happens when you oppress innocent people while lying to the outside world. Now they've realized that the sinhalese are much better than the LTTE.

Great job done by SL Air Force. The 53rd division did repulse the attack and held their positions. They were brave and killed many LTTE soldiers. LTTE hero Parbhakaran is hiding in Wanni jungles and sending child soldiers to the front while Prabhakaran,s children is having a luxurious life in the West. What a shame Prabha. Prbha can keep on dreaming about Eelam that will never happen in Sri Lanka. Only innocent Tamil civilians get killed by the never ending war started by Prabhakaran. What a waste of money collected by Tamils all over the world when Parbha is dead and they never achieved Eelam either.

I seem to remember a 'pundit' called 'Dayan J' - saying at one time, the threat from big-guns available to the LTTE will mean a very serious threat to the SLA and other GOSL forces stationed in the North. Further - that they could be trapped, whether SL Military establishment has taken due notice of this danger ?

It seems they have ..

Injured cadres of the LTTE terrorist organization who confronted with the government forces at MUHAMALAI KILALY and NAGARKOVIL are being admitted for treatment in large numbers to the hospital. Hospital authorities under pressure of LTTE leadership are forced to accommodate them forcing many civilians under residential treatment to be removed from their beds.

Prabarkaran will never win a war with the Sri Lankan govt. or the people. He has failed and continue to fail. Tamils have a choice. Get together with rest of your country men fight to get rid of Prabarkaran.

Sri Lankan govt is no perfect. Every govt. has its weakness. As for me I'll any day choose a democratic govt. over the fascit dictator Prabarkaran
