The thing was that SLDF learned from their mistakes over 20 odd years and adjusted having learnt in the field what its enemy is made of. They assessed their own strengths and weaknesses and the strength and weaknesses of their enemy too..and they adopted a new approach with committment, dedication and right leadership.
As for LTTE, it fought for 30 odd yrs, more than enough time to have won most of what they wanted, just shy of eealam, but they waywardly droppeda all the opportunities presented to them. and VP, being the pigheaded maniac that he is, thought that he would be fighting with the same old SLA that he faced 30 yrs ago.
And VP never expected this much of SUSTAINED onslaught on him, militarily, politically and internationally...
that is whhat happened.
i think you are making a premature assessment.
we have enough time. war has not yet come to a decisive stage.
no hurry:)
