President Rajapakse has reiterated government s desire to talk to the LTTE to reach a political solution laying down arms. Addressing the Oxford Union, the President pointed out that the government had to utilise its strength to the optimum to confront LTTE terrorism with all resources of the country.
The President on his arrival to address the Oxford Union at its invitation, was warmly greeted by Chancellor of the Oxford University Sir Bertler. The Chancellor also had a brief cordial discussion with the President. Thereafter, the President inspected the university. He also joined in a special discussion with students of the Sri Lanka Branch of the Oxford University. He then addressed the Oxford Union. The President in his speech, dealt at length on LTTE activities. He said the LTTE is one of the most brutal terror outfit, the world has ever seen. Defeating them requires global support. What Sri Lanka is doing, is fighting the terror outfit single-handed to ensure that democracy and respect for human life prevail in the world. The address delivered by the President earned plaudits from local and foreign students. They highly praised the successful battle carried out against the LTTE terrorists while launching massive development projects.

President reiterates government s desire to talk to the LTTE..
President can fool the Oxford students,because they do not know the reality..
This is same as the blind man who wanted hit his wife..
Mahinda can go around the world and show his bundle of lies,but the real people who were effected by the Sinhalese id.ots will know only the truth..
The truth cannot be hidden for long..
Mahida is trying to teach the Oxford students a wrong formula...
When Mahinda tells that a dog got only three legs,only the fools can believe it,not the Oxford students..

AP reporter is fed propaganda material to distort the essence of the speech.
There is no word of talk to LTTE in his speech. Sinhala journalists with extreme views on ethnic issue have infiltrated foreign media in a concerted effort to do propaganda work for the most oppressive regime in the world.
The most part the the last 50 years since Sinhala Only Act was forced upon the Tamil speaking minorities peaceful protests were sabotaged by anti-Tamil riots and FOUR agreements signed to find a solution were unilaterally abrogated by the Sinhala elitist leaders.
Almost 100% of Tamils and increasing number of Muslims are joining forces to oppose the govetment attempts to put down all fiorms of opposition to the hegemonic rule of the extremist president who started the war just after his election victory and is responsible for 6000 deaths and 3000 disappearances. |

QUOTE-''extremist president who started the war just after his election victory and is responsible for 6000 deaths and 3000 disappearances.''
Who brought this president in to power?
Who prevented people voting?
Even an exteam fool would have known that war was on the cards with this govt. !
VP had peace at his finger tips under the UNP govt.
Even Bala and Tamilselvam agreed for a federal solution.
Who over-ruled them?
Now having put a snake in the pocket, no point crying bitting, bitting !!
Does the grade 5 drop out manic depressive know the meaning of the word PEACE !
As long as he has poor tamil people under his boots, and as long as expat tamils prop him up to destroy his own race and their kids, this megalomaniac will not understand the reality !!

UNP upset LTTE by
1. Conspiring to woo Karuna to split and thereby weakened LTTE
(as boasted by UNP stalwarts)
2. When US wanted to invite LTTE to the donor conference held in US UNP leader Ranil oppsed it as alleged by the former US Ambassador to Sri Lanka.
Even among Tamils there is support to your view that Ranil was amicable to be persuaded to settle for a Federal NE-PC with autonomy within a united SL. Anyway RW would not have gone to the extent of committing appalling HR violations and killed so many innocent Tamil youths. |

.. extremist president who started the war just after his election victory and is responsible for 6000 deaths and 3000 disappearances.
MR did not start the 'present' War .. he was in fact 'debating in his mind' whether a PEACE Agreement will be possible with the LTTE, when they went on a 'bombing spree' setting off claymore mines directed against soldiers and police-men .. in EP and NP, soon after the Presidential Election. Even then, he did not respond .. believe he was 'talking' with the Norwegians, who may have convinced him .. 'best course for Sri Lanka was Peace Talks with the LTTE, and the CFA Agreement should be up-held'. He took no decision to 'rein-in' the LTTE until his Defence Chief/Army Commander was nearly killed by a woman 'suicide bomber'. SL President then realised, Norwegian promises/assurances' were worth-less .. VP & the LTTE were 'hell-bent' on an 'armed-resolution' to the conflict .. and he could well be the next in-line on VP's 'assassination list'. To MR's credit .. once he 'realised' the true nature of the man he was 'dealing' with .. he remained 'strong and resolute', and would not be deviated. He gave instructions to his Service Chiefs to 'take-on' the LTTE challenge .. and defeat it. Ever since, he has been fully supportive of the measures his Service Chiefs have proposed to 'contain and destroy' LTTE military capabilities.

SenaM,
LTTE, when they went on a 'bombing spree' setting off claymore mines directed against soldiers and police-men
According to the Jaffna police (all Sinhalese) report two Tamil youths were shot dead in Neervely, Jaffna, which was the start of the war after this president was elected. LTTE might have over reacted to these two killings in their reactions.
It is not a coincidence that 6000 died and 3000 disappeared mainly in the North and East after this president was elected two years back. Compare these dreadful figures with what happened during the 4 years prior to his election victory only 46 deaths registered, that was under CBK's presidency. The figures points to the culprit who came to dominate the political scene after CBK.

MR did not start the 'present' War
Mahinda Rajapakse never hid his view of the CFA that he was against it from the beginning. When he said he was against CFA, he was saying he was in favour of re-starting the fire or war, which is clear enough.

Sintamus,
MR has never said he want to start war.
Peelamists under the Banner of CFA,undervalued Southern political leadership and started killings/bombing.
It is too late to talk,MR will never ever make any peace talks,as his hurdle is not acceptable to LTTE.
The day he stop the Northern onslaught he is gone.
