Can a group of fools who could not even block a website properly rule a country?
Friday, 22 June 2007 - 9:30 AM SL Time |  | |
Motta Raala and his wiz kids think they have blocked Tamilnet in Sri Lanka.
Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.
I still access it daily from Colombo. (Not that I am a Tamilnet fan. Before this incident I rarely accessed it but now it has become a daily routine.)
The main site is still blocked. But at least there are three workarounds have been suggested. Not the real thing, but what matters is the content. Here they are. (Sorry, I have not tried all. No time and I am no more a techie.)
(a) Accessing it through Google. (I am not sure about the technical details, but it can be done. I did it, so did not worry about technical details.)
(b) Accessing it through a http proxy server elsewhere. This is a proven method to access blocked sites. The firewall does not read Tamilnet`s IP addr, but the IP addr of the proxy. There are many such http proxies providing free services.
(c) Accessing the German ver (which is not blocked) from Google (or Altavista) and use the Google translator.
Not many people know that Mahinda has some good wiz kids in his pack. Chandima Rasaputra, who now heads both the international airport (He was no. 2 to Tiran Alles) and ICT Agency is a well qualified IT Security professional. Then Gota himself was an IT Manager when he was in US. There are others which I do not want to name because they are not openly in politics and some of them are friends and ex-collegues of mine.
Anyway, the combined efforts of these king`s horses and king`s men ould not block Tamilnet.
Should we trust on a team which cannot do something as simple as blocking a web site properly?

Shakthi,
You talked bull in SFs space about that failed military operation as you call it.
Looks like you don't have a clue about the hardships and the danger attached with intel operations. I'm not in a position and I don't have all the information to provide you and I don't think mlitary intel will go on public revealing their clandastine operations. That's not the way it happens in intel operations.
Some of the persons are not enrolled in defence forces (to keep their identity secret)
The weapons issued for these operations are not issued in regular ways (there's no record to trace the weapons)
If these guys die, only a handful of persons know about it.
These operations are known only by a couple of persons.
And these are the facts we know, and some of the facts we don't know and we wont know. Putting the blame on possible JVP attack on Ranil is pretty hilarious answer. We can still see the aftermath of that betrayal, a couple of weeks ago there was a rumor about the safety of Cpt Nilam. Of course you don't want to see it as a damage because it makes the political party you love and worship so much go naked in public.
I don't think Ranil ordered it, but he should have acted as if he got some balls and spine in that incident. He just let these young men die like animals and kept his mouth shut. We expect a lot more than from a leader, have you ever thought why he is so unpopular and why MR is so popular among troops?
Even if these soldiers die, they would like to have a honarable death, but not a death that being ignored by the leaders who they look up to. May be you can't imagine the low morale it can cause among the regular soldiers. I hope SF can come up with the exact amount of damage it did to MI ops (or at least the things he can reveal in a public forum), but you will simply go saying, ooh only nine guys were killed.
You are lucky that none of them were from your family and you didn't even know them. Put down those green glasses for a while and see the picture in true colors. |

UnitedVRise,
Well, more than 60,000 people have unnecessarily died because of the ethnic issue since 1983. About 4,000 of them died since 2005.
The cost of a human life is infinite. So we cannot put a figure into that.
However just isolating 9 people out of those 60,000 and talk about it does not make any sense to me.
Talk about the families of the 60,000 killed. Talk about the families of the 4,000 killed after MR restart the war.
Then you talk about the morale of the army.
Morale of the army is important only during a war. During the peace time it is natural that morale of the army is low. There is also no need to keep it artificially high.
The Millennium city incident was only a gimmick of JVP and PA to gain some political mileage making a mountain out of molehill.

UnitedVRise,

These are the FACTS.
During the two and half years of RW's rule only THREE - I repeat only THREE SLAF soldiers were killed because of the ethnic issue. (Source = GOSL)
During the one and half years of MR's rule MORE THAN 1,000 SLA officers have been killed. More than 1,000. More than hundred of them were killed at Muhamalai on an extremely poorly planned mission when they were just sent to the mouth of the enemy.
Now you know you let young men die like animals and kept his mouth shut.

Shakthi,
MR didn't start the war, you seem to have forgotten what happened in the past one year. He was very patient and tigers were doing their best to provoke him.
Don't you remember the attempted suicide attacks on army commander, defence secretary and mavilaru?
Why blame the man who is doing a what he can do. I'm happy that Ranil wasn't in power when LTTE wanted war. He could have simply let the forces to be sitting ducks inside the barraks. |

UnitedVRise,
He was very patient and tigers were doing their best to provoke him.
MR's Presidential campaign in 2005 was the most racist campaign I have seen He had no problems in joining hands with extremist parties like JHU and JVP who openly said they did not want negotiations. So after that circumstances any hopes for talks was negligible.
MR clearly indicated he has no intention of maintaining the CFA. His government promised to disarm Karuna group in Feb but did nothing. So talks failed.
MR basically never had any genuine wish to restart talks. STILL, AFTER TWO AND HLAF YEARS HE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE A SOLUTION.
It is not that LTTE did not want war when RW was in power, but no excuse was given for them to get into war. It was not LTTE was taking a lunch break. Heavy international pressure was put on them to stop the war.
On the other hand MR gave all the possible excuses for them to get into war and naturally the war started. MR should take the full responsibility for the mess we are in today.

Shakthi man,
You are hilarious and talks like a baby who was born yesterday.
You seem to have forgotten the history.
Did you forget what VP said in his maaveer speech in 2005? He said he was planning to go for all out offensive to declare eelam. Don't forget that it was Ranil's era.
Your post indicates that LTTE didn't want to resume peace talks because MR formed coalition with JHU and JVP? Man I don't have to say anything, but you are simply being ignorant.
MR clearly indicated he has no intention of maintaining the CFA. His government promised to disarm Karuna group in Feb but did nothing. So talks failed
Mr had realized that he is dealing with a cunning foe, our past leaders failed to realize this. And why would we send our soldiers to do their dirty work? Karuna problem was not creted by us. And MR did the right thing by keeping peace with Karuna.
Well Shakthi you think that VP and LTTE want peace? You are an innocent child who haven't faced the world much. Not like other leaders MR understood the language he should use to talk to tigers. Tigers want nothing but eelam and a total destruction in the south. MR is doing a pretty good job destroying the LTTE. Desytroying LTTE leadership and it's military assets then go for negotiations is what he thinks.
Wake up from the dream that LTTE is genuine when they come for peace. When they come for talks they simply need time to lick wounds and to gather strength and no slodier should die trying to protect an unrealistic peace.
Finally, you might need to put down your green glasses to see the picture in true colors.

Man, what did you take today morning? You say very funny things.
RW's term virtually end in Nov 2003 with CBK taking three ministries and officially in April 2004. MR came to power on Nov. 18 2005. Mahavir speech was delivered on Nov 26, 2005. So how do you blame Ranil for something happened in Nov 2005, TWO YEARS AFTER RANIL's TERM VITUALLY ENDED?
Mr had realized that he is dealing with a cunning foe, our past leaders failed to realize this.
Everybody, including RW knew very well they were dealing with a cunning and dangerous force, but unlike MR, RW knew how to deal with them. That was why RW never made a mess and this idiot is always at a mess.
Karuna problem was not creted by us.
Of course, who else created this unnecessary prostitute and continue to use him for their dirt work. This is one key reason that had so badly affected the peace process. When you deal with one part in the peace process you do not rock the boat by supporting third parties to disturb the balance. This is a simple lesson MR never knew.
You wake up, man. I am not UNP or anything. I have critisised RW so many times where he deserves.
Only thing unlike you I am not ready to eat the punnakku Motta Raala and JVP are freely distributing.
The backward journey of this country started in Nov 2005 and MR and bros Co ruining it as nobody has done ever before now.
We do not need any Prabhakaran till this mee haraka is in power. The damage he does is far worse than what Prabha ever did.

UnitedVRise,
If you love your country try to come out of your illusions at least now. This kalakanniya is ruing this country and it will be a matter of time he will build a military dictatorship regime which would put Idi Amin to shame. Is this what you want to see in the name of so called patriotism?
Don?t think this man will ever do anything to take us out of this mess. He is already knee deep in it and further attempts of his to come out will only take him and the country further down.
