At this rate it will take less than a year to finish off all the LTTE terrorist resistance.

Prabakaran will kill himself before that happens. He is a mad dog right now.

All wars are going to have casualties that's not avoidable. What SLA says about its casualty figures is not believable even as a joke.

Then Ponseka goes to India Kashmir to see how they are fighting with minimum casualties. So anyone with brains should be able to put things together.
