Who ever wrote this.
the 150 or whatever the dead soldiers tomorrow will be replaced in not time with 1500 and we will continue this.


Which world are you living man. More than thousand barbaric sinhalayas removed from the TE in just one 10 hr battle. This does not include the 'dhuvapang...dhuvapang cases'. With in one week after the habarana suicide attack on sinhala Navy which killed about 118 sinhala navy, there were 327 deserted the navy and army. that is the sinhala soldiers mentality. they are in the army to give Pan and Parippu for their families not for real affection or patriotism. Pan and Parippu will not keep them when they see such a debacle in the hands of few tamil boys (as all the LTTEers were wiped out by march 30th by the sinhala GOSL).

right after the last Muhamalai battle which killed more than 300 soldiers in the same area (Akni Kheela 4) there were 1000s of deserted the ranks most of them with the weapons to be sold later in the black market or LTTE.

The hardest part is hiring soldiers. No Poor villagers are ready to sacrifice them for just Pan and Parippu. In 2005 Once MR took over he planned to hire 50,000 for the ranks, so far he has reached 11000 and again almost 3000 deserted and several thousand removed as injured, during the same period. that is why even 2 days agao army extended it's amnesty for the deserters to re-join.

As you dream to replace the lost with 1500 new soldoers it will take another year or so. You still beleive that the sinhalese are modayas so it will be easy to hire them for the defence forces. You are absolutely wrong. Even though sinhalese are modayas historically but they are etting better now a days.

If you canme for that decision from what you read in the govenment Propaganda material please accept my sympathy.

It is strange that Terror supporters are taking this loss of 150 SLA like the total defeat of the SLA.
What everyone fails to understand is that SLA is not functioning as a Military on a military mission with proper planning and execution it is performing end-runs on MR's orders.
Airforce can not support the SLA in this trench war because they are fighting at close quarters and all fixed wing AC are jets that are too fast to be accurate..


gonnamba,

It is obviously not a total defeat of an army of 150,000, but it is a major setback and a blow to morale.

What was lacking was 'close air support'. I would have thought that Kfir jets are designed for this purpose.

Dear Tiger Lady,

being united brought any progress for the tamils??


I am fairly certain, that the Southern Tamils would be more than happy to see less LTTE suicide bombers. Of course, all Sri Lankans including Tamils would benefit from LTTE stopping it's militant breakaway ambitions and become a regular political group.

ModaMutha,

What you don't realize is that many well-educated Sinhala LNP members living abroad have decided to join the SLA and have asked to be sent to the frontline.

Shame on Fonseka... If he is a decent general, he would resign his post now and allow someone who is not sleeping with MR to take up his job.


It is now looks like Anurudha Ratwatte (Then 'Sappumal Kumaraya') was better than This Sarath PonnaSekka. Atleast Anurudha ratwatte went very close to Mullaithevu, ( even though it was a short stay after 2 yrs of jayasikkuru Ops and only 5 days of withdrawal) he did reach Oddusuddan which is about 40 KM away from Mullaithevu.

sarath Pannasekka did not even capture the Madhu yet but (But he has already finished off the whole LTTE by march end in papers) dreaming about capturing vanni, kilinochi, mullaithevu. All the generals now have done something. Pnnipittiya, developed the Special forces and atleast temporarily made the LTTE to withdraw from east. But Sarath ponnasekka still has to do something before he retires.

Who is going to be next Chandrasiri...or...

Ha...ha...ha.... See the contradictions you are saying Well educated and then you are saying that they wanted to join SLA. Only one could be true they couls be either 'Well educated or wanted to join the SLA'. Or you may be thinking that if some one has degrees and PhDs then they are well educated. It took a lot of time for the sinhala villagers to quit army. First the urban and city boys stopped joining SLA, Now it is the village kollos, these so called LNP members, wanted to join army, and wanted to sent to the front lines, may be a good candidate to go through a psychological evaluation. Or may be these LNP members could be tired of working hard and they might think that by going to the front lines they will have free hand on robbing, raping and killing innocent tamils.
See wht happened in jaffna right after they lost and annihilated in the front lines, to cover their Impotence they arrested six tamil students on the street returning home from the tutions, 3 girls and 3 boys, killed all of them after raping the girls and handed the bodies over to the jaffna hospital.

It will take some time to realise that how badly they were being cheated by their own GOSL for this long for the so called LNP members who wanted to join the army. They will know what a big difference the GOSL's versions in the propaganda and the real front lines. that was the education all the deserters got at the front line.

Again I really could not laugh for youe comedies here.

RealKAruna,

Yes. The K'fir can be a close air support AC. When it was designed by the French as the Mirage 5 in the 1960's close air support meant something different than what it means today. And K'fir is a variant of that design.
In the late 60's and the early 70's in the Vietnam war, Phantom F4's were used to clear swaths of lands by carpet bombing. That is before there was any man-to-man fighting close quarters.

When they needed real close air support, The US used Proppellar driven Douglass Sky-raiders that can go low and slow and drop bombs and strafe the ground. They were real tough planes that can take a lot of hits without missing a beat.

We don't have that kind of A/C.

dear freedom1

it is a matter of policy that you practice politics where there is an environment cheers the values of secularism ,pluralism and democracy.!

in srilanka, the word democracy is anathema to the Sinhalese. with the given environment , what should the ltte do??

since independence from the British, the Sinhalese built a Buddhist state on the expenses of the Tamils. can you please name something that i can say proudly that , that is srilankan!
