is this a massacre?? has any countries condemn the ltte attack??

valid concern.

i feel sorry for Iqbal Athas's Sunday report.
he will have use all the hidden languages to bring the story out. By now, all his TP lines will be tapped and all his moves will be monitored.
isn't that called confined journalism ?

Baseless !!

Every religion teaches us to live in harmony, Jesus is merely a one religious leader.

So, how would you resolve this fairly fresh SL conflict?


the Q should be, why one should think that the Sinhalese are the custodians of the Tamil people.??

the question of dividing the country on ethnic lines will not arise , if we were NOT lumped together on the first place,,

why forcing the two to live together while it is costing the two parties dearly in terms of life ,money and material.

it is also costing the other countries who are concerned about the two parties.

two state solution is the best for the betterment of all parties involved and concerned.

we are not trying to carve out a country from an other country but we are claiming what is rightly ours.

there is nothing for the Sinhalese to loose,, they should kindly vacate from our land as their services is not needed any more as we can look after our own affairs.

1.
Jaffna theatre is different from the Wanni. Open ground, not much cover and SLA faces a well entrenched, well motivated and well armed Tiger force. Yes they made gains, but look at the cost. Tigers outsmarted the Army with a feigned withdrawal(I am not an expert but i read CNN and all news sources, but we in SL cannot get TamilNet but i am told they posted photos).What was all this . about them being tired, weak, hungry and running out of ammo? All rubbish it turned out. Sure they lost more but they are willing to lose more cadre. That is not a victory.
2.
...Golly did they not learn from 2006? And the SLAF cannot sustain Ground support attacks unlike the USAF because we do not have the same capacity. So there are intermittent pinprick attacks but it is not in coordination with the army attacks. it cannot be done because of limitations of resources. So when the Army attacks, the SLAF cannot attack simultaneously because of dangers of artillery fire damaging Mi-24s.
3.
military or a military egomaniac ordered this attack to meet political goals for Eastern Elections and also to try to win the propaganda war when the South is reeling under heavy cost of living increases.
4.
Did the Army top again underestimate the enemy? When will heads roll? Or do they ever roll? In 10 hrs to lose that many soldiers? Don't forget even the 'official' govt estimate of KIA is now upto 75 incl 33 MIA. So how about the Cat-2 and Cat-3 wounded? how many lost limbs? That is equally important because that means they are removed from further action.
5.
Army is missing a lot of troops in addition to the killed. Not only are the tigers asking for blood, so is the army and govt officials. So who is winning? no one. It is once again a zero sum game played by politicians with their sycophantic commanders who want their extensions and perks it looks like..
6.
War is really good for Access and wealth manufacuturing and to make stacks of dough so high they can save for the dowries of their yet to be born granddaughters.
7.
H.E Mahinda needs to wake up to reality of war. This was not the place for offensive actions because of the terrain. Both sides know who is where at any given time. He should not give political deadlines. Let the Army progress slowly in the Wanni. They are winning there.
8.
This is in contrast to the Wanni areas where small team ops give the SLA the upper hand. But once again Tigers have shown they have the manpower and the firepower and the ammunition to sustain large strikes and cause massive damage to blunt offensive actions
9.
Their weapons are Mortars and Artillery and despite all these claims by SLAF, they are still retain most of it . Why or How? Is India arming them as well to force a stalemate?

True and obvious! Next question :-) Why do Sri Lankans support leaders like VP and MR who seem to prefer bullets and bombs.

VP is a stray dog and the followers aren't any better :))

MR is a great leader sri lanka ever had and he's doing his job to make the Island a peaceful place for the next generation. We have to make certain sacrifices in order to achieve that.

8 million Russian solders died in WW2 most by any country. Only 4 million German soldiers died.

That did not make Hitler a winner.

Most Sri Lankans feel that VP needs to defeated at any cost for long lasting peace.
