203 Sri Lanka Army soldiers who completed training in the commando training center in Kuda Oya graduated today (7th). Revamped commando training now includes training in deep battle space operations in addition to the regular courses. The new additions to the commando regiment comes at a time when the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) is locked in a full scale war with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
In the past, army's elite troops in Commando and SF were used extensively to carry out special operations and deep battle space. The situation now has somewhat changed with even regular infantry units (specially in 57, 58 and 59 divisions) receiving specialized training and thus obtaining the capability to successfully carry our special operations.
In addition to the Commandos , there are around 2500 special forces (SF) in the army as well as around 7000 Special Task Force (STF) personnel in the police.
thanks for the update DN.
ReplyDeletethat is good news. more personnel to carryout deep space op.s?
that means further strengthening of the killing strategy. whether they are either directly into decapitation attacks or HUMINT (for eventual decapitation or devastating air attacks) ultimately it is about "harvesting" in an are we had never before laid our nets properly!!
each stage of the SL war from 2006 should be objectively documented.
how the war evolves with changing priorities is fantastic. the ability of SLDFs to change so much quickly was previously unthinkable.
i meant " "harvesting" in an area we had never before laid our nets properly!!" - a new SIZABLE frontier in other words.
ReplyDeleteMoshe,
ReplyDeleteWell said mate.I hope they are deployed in the eastern province..lets provide a "welcome" party(barbecue) for the 34 cadres+others who have infiltrated the eastern province according to Defencewire.
Must have an eye on East. Yesterday also STF personnel killed in Ampara.
ReplyDeleteI have no knowledge of military science, but I think SL military is fast becoming extreemly lethal to the enemy. People of SL must be grateful to Sarath Fonseka and his contemporaries. SL military is the best functioning organization in SL, LTTE is probably the next.
ReplyDeleteThere is something I must confess. When SLDF started operations to liberate the east, I was not too impressed with the advancements for two reasons. One, the east was not the area occupied by the LTTE top dogs and therefore would not be defended as vehemently as the north. Second, it was rumoured that SLDF received a lot of help in terms of intelligence and manpower from the Karuna group. Therefore in my mind the victories could not be attributed fully to the abilities and competencies of the SLDF. The victories were somewhat diluted.
ReplyDeleteI measure success of SLDF by (1) the number of LTTE cadre eliminated (2) the amount of offensive hardware and strategic locations neutralised (3) the level of prevention of atrocities in the south (4) ground area gained and successfully defended over long term.
1, 2 & 4 above have been significantly successful while 3 has a lot of room for improvement. I see improvements in this area too (thanks to gentleman & white van). I did not expect the military operations in the north to be this successful during a relatively short period of time. There are many contributing factors to this success internally as well as externally via foreign diplomatic missions.
The most prominent of them is the offensive strategies employed by the SLDF, morale of troops and the resolve by the government to defeat terrorism. I now have no doubts about the ability of our DFs to defeat the enemy of terrorism. Each victory is fully deserved and glorious!
OU&N!

Pakka-lanka,
ReplyDeleteOne of the happiest times for me was the eastern liberation.This is because it is really nice to see the contribution made by the TMVP cadres.We could have conquered the east without them. however it would have taken so much more time/resources(bombs,armaments etc) and more loss of army lives.We have to be grateful to them for having the wisdom and courage to switch sides and not turn against us with the pretext of helping us while in combat.For these brave young men and women this is over.Next education is on the agenda provided by govt free of charge.I remember the horseshit that was in the papers during this time.It was ludicrous not to mention utterly insulting.

Srilankan,
ReplyDelete”We could have conquered the east without them.”
Yes bro I am now fully convinced of above because our SLDF have proven it in the north. Jayaveva! to all our brave hearts…
Lalinda,
ReplyDeleteDo I sense a bit of vengeance? An attempted tit-for-tat from a past post? If you don’t like my opinion that’s your problem; just grow up and get over it. Please don’t display your incoherence to the world.
I never respond to LTTE sympathisers here but I respond to you because I believe we are both on the same side.
There is a civilised way an informed person expresses disagreement to another person’s opinion - to find out how, read my disagreement post to your view on a previous thread.
There is an idiotic and uncivilised way to do the same - to find out how one should watch a debate in the Sri Lanka parliament or read your post above. Congratulations! You seem to have mastered the art of debating in the SL parliament.
does the snipers belong to the LRRP or the commandos??
ReplyDeleteVirus alert,
ReplyDeleteI stand to be corrected by DN or anyone who knows more. I think the snipers are specially trained marksmen/sharpshooters chosen from regular slodiers. They are armed with expensive equipment and strategically located to take accurate pot-shots at the enemy. They are not LRRP but there may be snipers among the LRRP teams.
SLDF's deep penetration is now becoming so good that Mathivathini also feels and loves it :-)
ReplyDelete@kuttu
ReplyDeleteSo does many young boys in the north. But what have LTTE given them.. A gun & bullets instead of bat & ball... I bet there are lot of carders who love to play ball....
LTTE spokesperson recently responded to a SL military claim by saying LTTE is still a powerful force. When they respond to someone's comment, they usually have an objective. It could be either to maintain the confidence in Tamil diaspora or they have already planed a big attack on a military camp. I suspect the latter, especially something like Anuradhapura attack.

ninja,
ReplyDelete"DN
How many in commando regiment?"
Around 2500 personnel. Not sure about exact number in both CR and SF as both have been frequently recruiting.
Thanks DN for the quick answer.
ReplyDelete2500 in SF, 2500 in commando, 7000 in STF. I guess LTTE total strenght is around 30,000 now and 5000 may be elite level. SLA strength is around 200,000 and elite level is 5000. (STF is not involve in current offensives.) Does this mean we need more elite troops?

Residents now confirm that the girls were forcibly taken by the LTTE and the training was of a military nature. This does not however justify the Government bombing the schoolgirls.

ReplyDeleteOur hit squad should let them know that green pastures is not safe for these ruthless rats!
kaatikuddupaan,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! There are hundreds of anti LTTE peace-loving Tamils, who wants to eliminate LTTE for the good of all the Tamils.
However, they are scared to come-up with information thinking that it would get them into unnecessary trouble.
I can not agree with you more. The government should have some clear communication and a program.

on a serious note i recon there are heaps of stuff in vanni. TN has big deposits of substances. vanni should have (these 2 were PHYSICALLY connected sometime back). we have not explored for 60+ years bcos of neglect (1948-1983), war (1983-2001,2006-2008) and surrender to the LTTE(2002-2005).
it has HUGE paddy fields (google-earth) and HUGE HUGE agricultural potential.
+ fish
+ eco tourism
+ jungle industries (MAINLY good ones)
+ bunker safaris!!!
+ A9, A32, etc.
+ all the benefits a peaceful vanni can bring to other parts of SL

ReplyDeleteHere is some another reporting that needs some banana too
http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=26286
"Two Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) bombers attacked a residential area twice Sunday afternoon at about 4:20 p.m. destroying properties of several hundred civilians in Vaddakkachchi located around 7 km from Ki’linochchi, and affecting the normal life of village residents, sources said.
At least 15 houses sustained serious damage while a large number of valuable trees including 29 coconut palms were completely destroyed during the aerial bombardment.
The houses damaged include the residence of village level administrator (Grama Sevaka) Roopasingham. The father of Roopasingham was also injured during the aerial attack. Two civilian settlements were also completely destroyed .
The bombardment took place at Naavalar Veethy in Vaddakkachchi, a GS area in Karaichchi division of Ki'linochchi district.
The attack was reported 100 meters away from the Multi Purpose Cooperative Society (MPCS ) and 200 meters from St. Joseph’s church.
Thousands of Internally Displaced People (IDPs) have been forced to move with their belongings from their temporary settlements due to the SLAF artillery attack."
Now there is some bombardment and artillery attack. Have the SLAF Kfir's bomb them as well as used it cannons or this reporter has actually been hit on the head by a falling banana?

ReplyDeleteThought i'd share this great editorial from Canada's National Post criticising the recent Tamil nationalist rally to demand the lifting of the ban on the World Tamil Movement.
I rarely see eye-to-eye with conservative right-wing politics or their media mouthpieces, but I've got to agree with this one though regarding international fundraising for the Tigers.
Well-written and hits the spot, though at the same time managing to give the current conservative Canadian government a pat on the back while taking a few jabs at previous liberal regimes. Funny game this politics.
Here's an extract:
"A contributing factor to the Tigers’ poor battlefield performance may be traced to Canada’s own government: As Canada, and other nations, have worked harder to shut off the flow of money to the Tigers from inside Western nations, Colombo has been able to establish a decisive advantage for the first time in a decade or more."

you know on my view this propaganda is to stop JVP/UNP strike.
GOSL may do some sort of blast to prove if LTTE not in action.

Guys,
ReplyDeleteThe behaviour of Bhairav, CriMeWatch and other Tiger supporters forced me to conduct my second part of the interview with Mr Nadesan, may be the last one, too.
I pretend that I am Q Rious from a news organization called UFO. Excerpts:
Q Rious: Good Morning Mr Nadesan. How are you sir?
Mr Nadesan: Very well; thank you Mr Q Rious. A good journalist never leaves us alone. Hak hak haa.
Q Rious: Mr Nadesan, straight into the subject. Your enemy?
Mr Nadesan: On the run!
Q Rious: Which way?
Mr Nadesan: Towards Vedithalathive.
Q Rious: You are going to push them into the sea, then, aren't you?
Mr Nadesan: Too early, Mr Qrious, too early. Must give them a good beating first.
Q Rious:You are going to chase them out further and then destroy them, aren't you.
Mr Nadesan: Yes, you hit the nail on the head. We will chase them out up to Poonerin and the push them into the sea. They haven's seen our full stripes yet.
Q Rious: Tigers are getting bolder and bolder after recent battle successes, I suppose.
Mr Nadesan: I can't disagree with you.
Mr Nadesan did sound plucky, but not very enthusiastic about the victories. May be they were closely guarded secrets. So, I changed the topic.
Q Rious: Mr Nadesan, how about Mr Ilanthirayan?
Mr Nadesan: What did I last say about him?
Q Rious: You said he was struck by an evil spirit and couln't talk. Also, he was in care
under the exorcist Father Rayappu.
Mr Nadesan: First part is correct; but there is a little change in the second part. Father Rayappu feels under weather.
Q Rious: Another spirit attack?
Mr Nadesan: No, it is a Satanic attack.
Q Rious: We, journalists are very concerened about Mr Illanthirayan; we consider him as one of our own.
Mr Nadesan: How come? He is a fighter.
Q Rious: A Journalist and a rebel without cause, are just a few dollars away, Mr Nadesan. A few dollars Mr Nadesan. Your organization is jolly good at bridging the gap.
Mr Nadesan: Mr Qrious, don't take light of an attack by an evil spirit. We must get rid of it; the sooner the bettter.
Q Rious: If Father Rayappu, is indisposed. Who is going to take over the exorcising?
Mr Nadesan: Pottu Amman has already taken it over.
Q Rious: Does it come under the purview of his expertese?
Mr Nadesan: Oh, yes; oh, yes. Do you remember a chap called Mahattaya? He was struck by an evil spirit and Pottu is credited with getting rid of it.
Q Rious: Mahattaya's own spirti left, I gather, after that operation. Any comments?
Mr Nadesan: It has nothing to do with us. No spirit wants to live in a corrupt body. It is as simple as that.
Q Rious: Mr Nadesan, how does Pottu remove the evil spirit from the victim?
Mr Nadesan: You see, it is very complicated. When someone is struck by an evil spirit, it spread all over the body in a matter of minutes. So, the exorcist, Pottu in this case, has a harrowing job to perform.
Q Rious: If you can be a bit more explicit...
Mr Nadesan: Pottu starts at the extremes first; always at finger nails, and then moves inwards. So, he forces the spirit to move upwards and eventually come out of the mouth.
Q Rious: I wish them success.
Mr Nadesan: Who, Pottu or Mr Illanthirayan?
Q Rious: Both.
Mr Nadesan: Just choose one Mr Q Rious; not both. Just the exorcist, not the victim.
At this point, Mr Nadesan wanted me to turn the tape recorder off and talk something off-the-record. I obliged.
Mr Nadesan: Mr Q Rious, you work so hard getting our message acros the world. You need a good holiday; we will take care of it. Just walk into any of our offices in the world and they will do the needful.
I protested vehimantly as it was against the code of conduct of journalism. But Mr Nadesan wouldn't have any of it. He insisted that that I shouldn't be a black sheep. I reluctantly agreed, with a very very heavy heart.
Mr Nadesan: All the journalists are the same; they always refuse a kind offer, Initially, hak hak haa. Where do you want to go, Mr Q Rious?
Q Rious: A tropical place would be good; may be Sri Lanka.
Mr Nadesan: Oh, my god. Do you want to committ an expensive suicide? Don't go there; place is full of troubles, bombs, you know. Go to Thailand, man. Nice girls. Some people even extinguished their liberation flame there.
Q Rious: Who do you mean?
Mr Nadesan: Karuna. Another one nearly lost it, before we draggeed him back - Chelvam.
Q Rious: Oh, I see. Thank you very much for the kind offer, any way. Mr Nadesan, what do you want me to write about casualties on your side?
Mr Nadesan: Just write it is 33.
Q Rious: Mr Nadesan, it is too low, far too low. I don't want to make a mockery of my journalism. Please tell me a realistic figure.
Mr Nadesan: Put 41, Mr Q Rious. You are a fussy man. Everyone takes figures from us without any fuss. You are naughty, Mr Qrious, you are naughty.
Q Rious: Still too low; far too low. How about enemy casualties?
Mr Nadesan: Put 3722 casualties.
Q Rious: No wonder, your enemy call you an extremist. See you go from one extreme to another. It is far far too high, Mr Nadesan. Too high.
Mr Nadesan: You are the fussiest journalist I ever faced. Very fussy man. Ok, just put 2891 then.
I reluctantly agreed to Mr Nadesan's request. I was sandwiched between my forthcoming all-paid holiday and the code of conduct of my profession. The squash caused me a dizziness and I wound up my interview with Mr Nadesan, which may be the last one.
Q Rious: Thank you very much Mr Nadesan. I hope you will succeed and may god bless you!
it looks like the albums would be celebrating the death of the LTTE.
ReplyDeleteOf course...
But when they counter attack then al you will talk about the weakness of our forces. its happen within us. you all are blasting LTTE and their supporters on this blog and asking LTTE MF supporters to go to a new blog etc. and you all the ppl who sit and browse Pro Ltte Sites. and commenting here.
Good example is the Katunayake Attack (Air) No body could not reach Tamil Net Site cos of Band width. soon after GOSL blocked Tamil Net. Do you think all these Ltte supporters are hanging on Pro-Ltte sites? NO.

Pakka-Lanka,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your comment bro.In parliment right now there are a lot of traitors.However right now in order to stabilize the country the Hon President needs them.Without stability we cannot conduct a war.I am praying that Commander karuna and Hon chandrakanthan(pillian)+a elected member(s) from the north are given places in parliment once they have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they are for a united Slanka.Under these circumstances and after the end of the war the Hon president can look at said traitors(buffoons) in parliment SEVERELY punish the guilty(by confiscating property&assets) and kick the useless out.We need to expand the number of "tea boys-(thea mahaththuru)in parliment. Right now i suspect that MI is gathering info about these guys from this guy nathan or whoever-cant remember.As for their behavior it cannot be really helped right now.There may be just one/two ways to calm them-offer Canadian/US citizenship to those who are civil for xxx yrs in parliment or employment at a "prestigious" Mcdonalds overseas of course in the guise of a DPL posting.Right now i have high praise for Hon President&Prime minister,Rajitha senarathne,Hon douglas devananda+few others
srilankan,
ReplyDeletei don't much like a UNITED SL. if you rank the alternatives...
1. UNITARY WITHOUT PCs
2. UNITARY WITH PCs
3. UNITARY WITH PCs + MORE POWER DEVOLVED TO PCs
4. UNITED WITHOUT FEDERAL
5. UNITED FEDERAL
6. TWO COUNTRIES.
we are at 2. should we go to 4 which is closer to the two countries alternative?
UNITARY means ONE-NESS. UNITED means DIVIDED BUT WORKING TOGETHER.
what does SL need? i think 1,2 or 3.
thankfully we have a pro-GOSL guy as the CM in the east. imagine rauf hack-him became the CM (which was VERY MUCH possible)?
in 2001 he declared a seperate *STAN in the east WITHOUT controlling the EPC. with it under his control what NOT will happen?
under whatever conditions perumal did it and i'm sure a future CM will do it.
then the govt MAY dissolve it. then what?
if it was not dissolved, then what?
these are scary questions we MUST answer b4 it is too late.
Qrious,
ReplyDeleteIt is a good interview. Sounds almost real. Perhaps, you forgot to ask how the exorcist coach Nadesan to make sure that he will not be caught by an evil spirit. This should be the Tamilnet story of the month.
Moshe,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment.I am for unitary.Let this war finish first.this entire problem is to do with the number of displaced people who have been denied their initial homes.I think that is the key..when that is sorted i dont think there will be a problem for a unitary SLanka.
srilankan,
ReplyDeletewith you 100%.
good piece of work qrious. nade-sung seems to answer every question and didn't slip one! a happy nade-sung using carrots on you.
next time you should raise the hurdle. he might use sticks!
Criewatch,
ReplyDelete"But when they counter attack then al you will talk about the weakness of our forces"
Yes correct. This is the difference between Pro-LTTE & Anti-LTTE persons.
Anti-LTTE: when they see a weakness of SLDF or something which could not be accept, they will speak against that and they will blame for that. Reason: they are not brainwashed and they have a brain to think.
Pro-LTTE: 100% accept whatever the garbage from LTTE. Reason: brainwashed and brainless like you.
Qriuos,

Here is an idea.
Call Nadesun for real if you can find a number. And make a real fool out of him...

ReplyDeleteBefore I went to bed last night at 4 am I seem to have read 3 of your comments about MR and VP are Karvila or something and they are both Catholics. What is it all about? Was I dreaming or what? Sounds absurd to say the least. I think this not the time to snipe at MR,just as our rathhu brothers and UNP trying to create street protests. Perhaps you are from the CBK camp? There should be unity in the party as well as in the country at this crucial moment.
Karuna and others should only be given a Parliamentary seat only after a bi election somewhere in the country and before that they must renounce violence and even after that responsibility for law and order,defence,civil and criminal law and that aspects of governing the province should not be given to them nor any more advantages or favours than that is not normal to other provinces. We must not reward anyone, just because they are from a minority sect and because they have unfairly rebelled against the state.Gosl should have been disciplined and strong enough to put down any rebellion in the country without seeking the help of any renegade or any ex rebel.Karuna is in a weak position, even if he rejoin the rebels, due to the SL forces doing the job now they are assigned to do, therefore the gosl should be able to call the shots on Karuna and anyone else that is willing to lay down arms and join the political process. Then it is up to the Election commissioner to decide the suitability of a person like Karuna to be a candidate. Horse trading with rebels and ex rebels is not proper, that only exposes our weakness as a state. Whatever it costs we must have full control of the defences of North and EP.
A country's power should be with the Central Government on few key areas,
ReplyDelete1. Military, Police and National, regional Security
2. Land and mass resources
3. Diplomatic and Bi-lateral Relations with foreign governments
4. Law (other than bi-laws)
5. Currency and Central Banking function
6. In Sri Lankan context - Higher Education
If those to be given away to provinces etc., we would be in a huge jumble in few years

ReplyDeleteTmail Gang Attacks LTTE Arms Dealer in UK
http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2008/07/ltte-arms-agent-assaulted-by-tamil-gang.html
DN / Moshe / Perein
ReplyDeleteORBAT on defence.lk has been updated to show the current position of all divisions with 61 placed in a holding role.
It also shows 56 division in Vavuniya. havne't heard of 56 in this area befoer, have they been inserted recently?
It has been published in May 07, but worth a read!
ReplyDelete"“The LTTE’s main strategy for implementing their Colombo plans is very complete. They have invested lots of money in Colombo hiring Tamil businessmen, with two conditions. One was a percentage of their profit being put into LTTE accounts annually. The second was that any persons sent from the Wanni or any other place by the LTTE should be engaged with their business without any fuss,” he said.
In all likelihood such persons who are sent from the Wanni by the LTTE are working as intelligence officers for them. Their task was simply to collect information on their enemies or be sleepers till the day they are activated for some mission. An example is when the Black Tigers come to attack and stay for short times in the area. It is a non-suspicious way to strike at the right time without being caught or suspected.
Intelligence services in Sri Lanka have been monitoring this kind of Tiger strategy and started taking counter-measures again such Tiger moles. But the specific unit assigned this task against the LTTE is established under politicians. The late Minister Sripathi Sooriarachchi especially had given his full support and backing to this unit but he had leaked lots of secrets when he was ousted from the Government by President Rajapakse.
The LTTE’s Colombo network was facing a very troubled situation when Col. Karuna Amman broke away from the LTTE in 2004. The LTTE faced severe challenges to their money collecting operations in Colombo because Karuna’s members started collecting money for themselves from Colombo. Some intelligence services members also supported Karuna and they came to be aware of core LTTE sources and elements in Colombo. They can break the LTTE network from Colombo if they wished."

The army captured only a few of them, mate. They were in bad shape and the army is whitewashing them and making the calculations to send the bill to Vanni. They were really in a run-down condition.
I think your concern of not fully seizing on the base is addressed.

1-4 base is not seized yet but 4 of the satellite camps (there are around 14) have already been overrun. LTTE is putting up fierce resistance there so it may take longer.

ReplyDeleteCome to think of it there seems to be a relatively better peace now in country, compared to what we had during the CFA.

....
It is history that during Indo-China war and the Indo-Pakistan war, the Sinhala governments were anti India and that on all those occasions, the Lankan Tamils were fovurable to India and were supportive of the interests of India.
But, today, when the Lankan Tamils fight for their freedom, India supports the Sinhala government. It is our expectation that India must reciprocate and extend its solidarity with the freedom struggle of Tamil people
.......
Folks,
IS THERE NO WAY TO STOP THESE LTTE RABID RACISTS DOING SEPARATIST PROPAGANDA UNDER OUR OWN ROOF?
[Canadian Tamils hold rally, condemn Ottawa's ban - report]
ReplyDeleteSome time ago some people shouted this country is bad, this government is bad. So those people went and settle down in some good country with good government. Now the same people shouted "this country is bad, this government is bad". I think some thing is wrong with those people: not with any countries or governments.

[India says Sri Lankan refugees can't buy land in tamilnadu - report]
Some time ago some people had the 'privilage' of not selling thier land to sinhalese. But they were unhappy about not having all the land in the country and left to neighbour country saying all our borthers and sisters are there, we live hapilly there. Some how those brothers identified them as refugees and now live in refugee camps while thier brothers live in thier own homes. Some of those refugees try to buy some land there to build ouwn house by hard earned money from others credit cards and toilets. However, brothers said " brother, No land for you here. You are still refugee, stay in the refugee camp."

Most of my Tamil Nadu visitors say that they are not happy about SL Tamils coming to their country to make mischief against another country, besides they have little connection with the Tamils of SL,just has the English speaking New Zealanders have with the Brits.They are not happy with their TN politicians who are trying to cash in to our problems which the voter in TN will not buy. They are not in sympathy with the terror outfit in Vanni.

Indian support is a fluid concept right now. It is in their best interest to prevent both sides from winning and having a slightly unstable Sri Lanka.
ReplyDeleteIf the Indian government lets the LTTE win, then the next day they'll find that the will be fighting tamil seperatists in Tamil Nadu.
However if the Sri Lankan government wins and stablizes the Sri Lankan economy then Sri Lanka will be a competitor, with a much better location.
Morale of the story: Don't trust other countries, they always have their own agenda.
2 things of interest from defence.lk & TN.
ReplyDelete1. 12 civilians have escaped from north of puthukudirippu. this is marvalous! they can be VERY vital sources of information into this HIGHLY secret location and its surrounds. they seem to be providing it too!
2. 2 air attacks on paranthan. aparently MiG27s were the main players. TN claims those have caused huge craters in paddy fields.
A. if true, SLAF gravity bombs have gone off-target as there cannot be a "base" in the place shown in TN pictures.
B. if half true, may be the 1015 strike has be a bit unsuccessful but the follow-up strike at 1330 had taken out the targets.
C. if untrue, that means a self-constructed display by the LTTE itself, LTTE may stage "retaliatory" attacks for attacking their "economic" targets. even A or B would.
one more thing.
A. july has seen high terror activity.
B. it is the 25th BLACK JULY!! the jubilee for ALL terrorists!!
C. no major attack for 8+ months like the AAB attack.
D. SAARC
high possibility of attempts by LTTE. VERY high probability of REPEAT targets. col. harbour and oil storages are likely to be HIGH in terror target lists. white vans are a MUST to take out LTTE groups BEFORE they strike. there is no time to experiment. also IMMEDIATE and VIOLENT retaliation or re-retaliation is ESSENTIAL as a deterrent.

Guys,
ReplyDeleteI have a serious proposal. Once our SLDF finishes the job, we can do the formal submission.
Proposal:
I propose Mr. Vezapizza for the prestigious Darwin Award for the service rendered to humanity by eliminating quite a number of undesirable genes from the human gene pool.
If you read the qualifying criteria for this award (link below), you'll see that Vezapizza is over qualified.
I'll bet no one else will beat him for a long time. (He has quite effectively removed all such persons from future too! That's what this award all about.)

Some words of Gem from a Genaral,
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dailymirror.wijeya.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/frmNewsDetailView.aspx?ARTID=19967
"I think we all agree that terrorism is the most serious sickness
of the 21st century although we cannot agree on a definition of it," he said.
"...the terrorist organization PKK/Kongra-Gel is responsible for 80 percent of the heroin smuggled into Europe, extortion in several European countries, and even running guns to terrorist organisations like the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka. "
Buyukanit said no type of terrorism should be considered legitimate, no matter what the organisations ideals are.
"More than that, even tendencies to legitimise terrorism are unacceptable," he said. "

2. "White van involved in attack on Anuradhapura JVP offices"
so the sympathy of the LTTE has fallen on the JVP ONCE AGAIN!!!
B. ms. waduge has raised an important question in lankaweb. JVP strikes to get Rs. 5,000 pm salary hike. so if the GOSL gives them the increase they will call it off. BUT to call it off they have OTHER demands that have NOTHING to do with WORKERS!!!! these bullshitt include implementation of the fcuking 17th amedment, etc.
LTTE is also VERY desperate to cling onto ANY crap that looks like providing some support to them.

Moshe,
ReplyDeletei think the people(the bahuthara janathawa)seem to have FINALLY worken up to what all these strikes are really about because it is mostly their sons/daughters that are dying on the frontlines."Theruwan saranai" to them.this is good news for the LTTE websites which will carry a large selection of photos of MILLIONS OF SRILANKANS(say 20Mil approx)protesting against the govt about the C.O.Living.Why does this stink of Ranil.Lets see how many actually attend(ed) and of these how many are "purchased" by the UNP to participate.
srilankan,
ReplyDeleteyes. but most workers in the "target group" WILL go for the 5,000.
=5,000*12 = 60,000
if salaries are raised for half a million ppl, tht means,
=60,000*500,000 = 30,000,000,000!!!
a fcuking 30 BILLION rupees.
this has to be collected from ADDITIONAL tax. who pays? those who didn't get the 5,000. this is BS. it will continue to raise inflation.
why?
bcos NO INCREASE in output!!
JVP idiots know this very well. they want to make things miserable for the pll and the govt so that they (think) JVP will become ppl's sweethearts.
As sinhalese we are a dam stupid to do things like this. We are creating our own downfall because of these stupid politicians. JVP only think about making havock and UNP only thinks about coming into power why for god sake these idiots can not do something for coutry for once.
ReplyDeleteEconomic hardship is true but then ask things for the working poeple than demanding stuff on political issues.
we need a ruling party with SLFPs nationalism and (AT LEAST) UNP's economic management.
ReplyDeletein short a strong RIGHT WINGED party like the BJP or the republicans or the liberals or the conservatives.
If there were to be any bombs going off tommorow i am sure these idiots will say its the work of the goverment.. wait and see..
ReplyDeleteIf they wanted to strike why choose July?
Knowing its black july?
Malin A,
ReplyDeleteand the funny thing is for this type of CRAP the JVP, UNP, TNA, etc. are all UNITED!! i'm sure the CWC and UPF will also join in striking sooner or later.
as i explained above, it is the non-striking ppl who will eventually bear the tax bill to pay for these bastards at a time when the country goes through an economic turbulance!!
Moshe,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you.However lets wait and see what happens.I would not jump to conclusions just yet although what you say is a possibility.Keep in mind that this is an LTTE ploy( a financial/fiscal attack by the LTTE) a first step in order to bankrupt the SLDForces.Correct me if i am wrong but did the govt not offer an increase of Rs 1000/-?.We have to await the outcome of the strike.If they have to increase taxes it depend on what tax(es) will be increased.

Ya Its huge, But at the current situ of the civilians Rs. 5000 is not enough. even 20000 minimum salary is not enough a person to run their family. Who ever talking about this Rs. 5000 will be getting more than Rs.70,000 as their salary or more.
Majority is Poor's think about them. (they might be getting Rs. 9000 to Rs.15000) War created my Moda GOVT issues not by Civilians.
Let the GOVT Suffer More.
MD, SriLankan Your state was correct if poor's (Middle class) getting above Rs. 20,000 at least.
For you all Talking in Billions cant live five days with Rs. 20000 with current COL. Can U?
Moshe
ReplyDeletewell said mate, agree with you wholeheartedly
i heard the deputy finance minister say today the increased expenditure for 5,000 rupee salsy hike would amount to 72,000 million because it also involves increase in overtime rates, holiday pay, bonus and pension / EPF payments. it's much more complicated than just the raise.
also said the development will slow down. obviously because though salaries are increased there'll be no increase in output of these government employees. the additional expnditure will only be a burden on the economy and the taxpayer (who works very hard to pay for the non starters)
no issues on increases or whatever is given if it increase uotput and provides a better service to the public
MR. MD
ReplyDeleteEvery body's hope is to end this war. NEED Peace not PIECE. but the war never ever ends. Even if Sarath Fonseka doubles the force power. beet you.
All are playing a game till next Election. IF MR Elected Second time the next 6 years will be worse than the current situ. Spend Rs. 100 for bread ha.
on COL, folks living in SL earning in rupees will only know the true hit of this :)
ReplyDeleteand talking about expenses...can't the government also shed some extra weight like all people are doing in SL now and help the situ a wee bit...
maintaining a jumbo cabinet with all their add-ons also can't be a cheap exercise...
Financial cock-ups like mihin air etc is also not doing any favors to the country...
people suffer from all sides while the government is nicely chilling out with all luxuries...
Maybe i'm wrong but there's something not right with that situ!!!!
CW
ReplyDeletei do agree with you on sufferings of the people due to financial situ of the country but i do disagree when you say this war can't be won...
few months, years ago... chasing ltte from east was not possible... taking on 1-4 base in mullativu was not possible and the list is long...
admittedly there are pockets of ltte folks in "liberated" areas but you do have to agree their major firepower and admin capabilities are long gone...
Has ltte been able to launch a major counter-offensive against this major push by sldf so far? what were all these ltte boot licking goons were saying about sldf never been able to take on wanni?
War wont be over soon but what's sure is the end has begun and we're making good progress like we have not done before...
And what's the alternative....give into some under-educated murderous terrorists claim of a fake uni racial homeland???
what's wrong with the present government is that they are using the gains made by sldf to their personal gains and living off luxuriously with that blood money and tears and sweat of the people.
fighting terrorism is no excuse for corruption and abuse
shan,

ReplyDeleteI wish had a copy of that article by that ex ltter as we had a very successful gathering at the House of Lords on the 7th and I would have presented it them. Please let me know if I could extract a copy from a web site as I would meet a roving diplomat that visits frequently from Norway.
With respect to this strike the gosl should have done much more to avoid it by getting other parties like JVP and UNP involved. It looks like the UNPers are hell bent in toppling the government. My partner tried his best to get the President’s staff to make arrangements for Mr Somawansa to meet the President in the same flight they were from London to Colombo.Mr Amarasinghe travelled in the economy class and so many hangers on in that travelling party would have offered one’s seat in the business class so that such a gesture would have strengthen bridges between the government and opposition. You mentioned about divide and rule by the IC but we don’t need their help but we are doing it so well before the colonials and after the colonials.Kehelia too says that the JVP is in league with the tiger terrorists and this is utter rubbish and he his doing some cheap propaganda to rubbish the patriotic people who seem to have a different political view. I don’t agree with this strike but we are a true democracy and as long as it is legal then they have that right but the question is if it is appropriate and proper and if the people in the country is not in the mood for a such an event then they will not forget these parties during the next election. But we must not allow the country to a state that of Zimbabwe whre any kind of opposition is brutally opposed. People who agitate against the government must go by the mood of the country and gosl must respond to this mood as well by cutting down on waste etc.Also by being more accountable to the people who put them there and it seems that the politicians in power in the third world detach them selves from the electorate nor sooner one get in to power and you know who will be their sidekicks from then on, people who did nothing to get them elected in the first place. Here in UK we could write to any MP and we get a personal reply and they too will do their best to meet you and that’s democracy.
ranil,
ReplyDeleteagree with you.
shouldn't it be better to negotiate a corresponding increase in output as well? salary hikes for so many ppl without any value addition in return only raises inflation. then we are in worse shitt.
govt should also (in addition to long term plans) look at some short term cash generating industries as well. some cash crops, some fish produce, etc. can earn alot of hard currency. these short term avenues should be encouraged. a cash-strapped situ is very dangerous.
also govt should expand wholesale and retail outlets including the damned co-ops. if managed properly ppl can buy at fairer prices, farmers can get a fair deal and will become a source of revenue for the govt. but the challenge is to manage profitably without political influence. otherwise it will add further burdens like mihin.
hopefully tensions around iran will fade away. this is one fcukung big reason for price hikes. but the news from there is not good. if a war erupts and if iran manages to block fuel supplies as they have promised, ALL military ops will come to a standstill not to mention the whole economy. i think the rest of the world should do more to settle this.

ReplyDeletewhat's pissing me off is that when "people" as for something... it's a huge issue... But when politicos are loosing money in millions cos they want their bloody name on an airline etc etc nobody says anything...
I work for private sector and earn a decent living compared to most sri lankans but still it's a struggle to get through a month. I can't imagine how poor folks are doing...
Maybe asking for such a raise is not fair at this juncture and at the same time all these government corruptions are also not fair.
People will be silenced one way or the other but politicos always gets away with everything...
In-efficiency is government institutions is also partly politicos fault... they appoint their stooges to these places when the said place is already over staffed etc and what do you expect... Sometime ago i was told by a persona at lakehouse that there are over staffed by a thousand or so... who is to blame...
whose finally picking up the tab...
the whole political culture of this country has to change and that wont happen if people don't make a change. People can't make a change cos they don't know the true story about everything cos bloody media is controlled and not strong enough... It's a vicious cycle..
This is why a country with so much of promise with so many great minds is still suffering the way it now...
Dear Kevin,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your comment.I know exactly what you mean.About this book..defence.lk does not give the publishers details.The first step is to findout who is publishing it.I think all big book stores..foyles dillons,waterstones, etc are sent a letter with the titles of new books these guys publish.Its not that difficult as it sounds because you only have to look at the name of the author because i am sure you will recognise the name simply because it is long and does not end with cyzcwz..polish.Lets hope that defense.lk gives details of the publisher/title.On the other hand this guy lives in france so it is very likely some members of the tamil community or our embassy in france close to the Eiffel tower has an idea.Through your friends in france.On my part i will do my best to find out as much as i can or get a copy of the book and let you know when i do.It being on the internet is out of the question right now.The other idea is to try these anti LTTE tamil groups in the U.K..but i dont think this is wise right now.

ReplyDeleteI have already sent 3 of my staff to look for this book in the West end and one is assigned to telephone around with our contacts in the T Diaspora etc am running out of time here in UK as I have to visit SL,Malayasia and Singapore soon. Perhaps I could present it the appropriate people there as well.
haha so funey. MR cannot manage his OWN MIHIN LANKA (PVT) LTD. (calling it as Govt Organization as well AS Mahinda Chinthata - Its his future chintana) Trying to control PPL in this contry.
ReplyDeleteppl cant take a day off for strike thats the current situ, cos they will loose their day pay (they cant let that happen).
If All country join hands to gether raise against COL MR chinthana okkoma P*ke gahagena thamai Duwanna One.
I agree MD your pointings but it want feed kids hunger. a mother cant enjoy WAR while his daughter son cry for milk.
Think an average person getting Rs.20,000 a moths salary devided by 30 days. Rs. 666 a day pay. (have to feed father mother wife childrens etc+ other day today expence) can you manage? not enough for your fuel even per day.
but for # malli can drive his car without issue (HE IS GETTING FUEL FOR FREE CHINTHANA MAMA UTA NIKANG DENNE)
in that situ u cant blam the ppl for asking for more salary. I am on the ppl's side.

Kevin,
ReplyDeleteHon president has made a lot of mistakes.However you cant go back in time and change them but change your attitude about what your going to do in future.Hon president has always wanted to get the UNP and JVP involved but it seems that they were/are un interested.Kevin it appears that Ranil+co are still convinced that they can win an eletion after the war is over blaming the govt on C.O.L for starters.They(UNP) dont want to change.As for this jumbo cabinet the president cant do anything because he needs to stabilize the country right now..if not you cannot conduct a successful war.See the UNP are still of this mindset that the "bahuthara janathawa" are gona's who says "Jayawewa" to any goat who gives them bread or says "i live in a big house in ward place".I think happily for me the rural people are changing their attitude fast because they can see light at the end of the tunnel.
Kevin,
ReplyDeleteThats very nice to hear.Hope you find it before your departure.If you find it maybe one of your staff can convert it to a PDF file and load it onto a USB for you which saves you carrying hard copies if your constrained by baggage weight.
Hon president has made/will make a lot of mistakes.
ReplyDeleteCos the surrounding was thugs. end of the tunnel ppl see litted hell not light. you all are live in heven. dont compair your self with an ordinary person he will kill you.
MR is a nariya, to come to power used JVP and kicked off. Vimal and them never ever can come to power IF stand for election by them self. Kata hari Mukku gahagena godayana minissu saha athmarthakami.
i dont blaming you Mr SRILANKAN. there are two sides to look in to.
SriLankan mate
ReplyDeleteif i may butt in...and btw i aint no UNP fan...my real name is what i've been using and sadly it's got a bad name :(
with all due respect ""bahuthara janathawa" are gona's who says "Jayawewa" to any goat who gives them bread" that's exactly how MR also won don't you think. I'm fully on with his ways of tackling the LTTE cos to my limited knowledge i don't see any other way to sort this. But that is absolutely no reason to be doing the things he's doing. And no it's not Hon. President has made mistakes he is still making them.
Mihin affair is a classic case of short sighted ego trip... All that money down the toilet and it's not like his daddy left it for him right...
If people don't criticize when they see something wrong that's the best way ensure things like that will continue...

Parliament debates on a bullet proof car given to Pillaiyan
ReplyDeleteThe Government Chief Whip Dinesh Gunawardhana said in the parliament today (08) that under the present parliament, 31 bullet proof vehicles had been imported and to whom they were provided could not be revealed due to security concerns.
In response to a question raised and given time to answer by MP Ravi Karunanayaka, The Chief Whip said that the vehicles had been imported from the countries like UK and Germany.
An interim question of MP Ravi Karunanayaka asking if Pillaiyan was also given such car, the Chief Whip refused to answer and stated that it could not be revealed due to security concerns.
When MP Karunanayaka stated that the Opposition Leader Ranil Wickramasinghe had not been provided the pledged bullet proof car, the Government Chief Whip said that the government had provided maximum security to the Opposition Leader.
The Opposition Leader Ranil Wickramasinghe rose at this moment to say that his security was affected due to probes against his security staff based on anonymous complaints against them.
The Chief Government Whip Dinesh Gunawardhana promised to look into the issue.

ReplyDeletei am not rasing any politial issue but see how the so called media giants behaving.this mean people who are not suporting to the strike are "horikadas".simply they asking to hit them.look at this.i think at least people need to point this,,, otherwise we can even think about wining the war...
Ravana,
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with your comment.
So funny. This is the reality of so called free media.
LEN = fully UNP biased website
Nemesis,
ReplyDeleteThank you for inviting me to contribute to Defence 'Country First Scheme'. Surely, want to do something..!
BTW, you should be the one there with your vast knowledge on ordinance.
"horikada udgosanayata kunu biththra".
ReplyDeleteLeN states: they are not involved/ funded by any political party or NGO. They get money from some individuals who 'love' SL. They stand for media freedom, HR, etc. However some times they can't hide thier true nature.
Now they have gone one step futher and now they give judgements on what protests are horikada.
I am always opposing any kind of strike.... Strikes are the tools of idiots. This July strike will take us back for another few months as a nation.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that the cost of living and inflation is high, and we need to do something about it.
Salary increase without any return is not a great answer. GOSL can increase the salaries by printing more money. Then again, the adverse affect on the economy would be much more higher, and there won't be any meaning to it either.
There are several 'extreme' as well as 'difficult' measures that the government can take to finance a salary increase without increasing the level inflation.
One of the extreme measure is to cut government jobs by 30% and increase the salaries of the rest.
Do the government workers want that? I guess not (however, J.R. did it).
Then would the government workers take measures to improve productivity at least by 20% or cut down waste of resources by at least 30%?
The above would instantly provide the boost it needs to increase salaries.
Else, there are other moves too that may not be highly favorable to the masses. One such strategy is to create/restructure a 'tiered fee structure' for different government services, depending on number of variables. One variable may be 'speed'. If you want 'One Day Service', you pay a higher fee etc. Unknowingly, this may increase employee productivity too.
Other strategies could include, mass economic i.e. put higher taxes on certainly none-essential items to meet the wage costs.
Above all, the best strategies include, bringing in more and more investment to the country. FDI is one of the key. BOI should work twice hard with the Diplomatic missions and promote more and more investments. 'Investor confidence building' is one of the key factors in this regards. It needs lot of talking to the investors. Investors ignore war when the facts are presented right. Therefore, loads of promotion and active investor confidence building is necessary.
All the developed countries are in that state because of 'Good Governance Practices'. We have to bring those to the country.
We all agree that war is an economy as well as social killer, and the Vezapizza and his immediate team should be destroyed for the good of the whole nation. While we are at it, we have to promote all the rest too.
I am running out of time folks..will talk sometime soon!

The LTTE Intelligence Leader of Vavunia has been caught with another two.
Guys,
ReplyDeleteThe military thrust moves forward steadily with the intending target at the core taking the form of a bubble - sending the fighters who refuse to surrender to their Maker.
The logic is simple: we can go for land grabbing and then grab eye-catching headlines too in its stride. The savages, then creep into jungles, come back at a time of their choosing, cause mayhem, later, giving plenty of food for thoughts for our wonderful opposition. In this context, the current military thrust is the most intelligent operation ever mounted against the savages, while keeping our own casualty figures to a minimum.
A general strike is looming over our motherland and everyone is going to stay at home. This is a bit boring.
So, I ventured out, boarded a plane and caught up with one of our diplomats for a chat, as they are not the most admired folks in the land at presetn. I want to get their side of the story.
A diplomat, by definition, is someone who leads a double life: in real life, he acts; in the un-real life he lives; in real life he is sober; in the latter, he is under the influence or ethanol, the substance that is going to replace petrol and make cars doped and zig-zagging on our highways.
So, we were sipping coke in the first part of our chat. Excerpts:
Q Rious Good morning sir, Q Rious from the news organization UFO
DipLowMatVery nice to meet you, Mr Q Rious.
Q Rious You are a Sri Lankan diplomat, I presume.
DipLowMat Yes, I am. I am the ambassodor to Disneyland.
Q Rious Oh, I see. What a place to represent your motherland! I am sure you are honoured.
DipLowMat Yes, I am. The best place out of all my postings. People are very relaxed here. Cost of living and inflation never exist. It is so fantastic. But picketing exists, just for awareness.
Q Rious Is this the world's newest state?
DipLowMat No, it is Eezam, isn't it? Disneland has been in existence since Walt Disney had that famous brain wave - quite an old state.
Q Rious Who are the heads of state?
DipLowMat The President is a chap called Mr Snooty, and the Prime Minister is an equal laid-back man, called Mr Sooty. They have one more in the top hireachy - the Prime Suspect. His name is Mr Micky Mouse.
Q Rious So, basically these three chpas run the show - I mean the country - and pretty effectively too.
DipLowMat Spot on, Mr Q Rious, spot on.
Q Rious How do you account for the harmony among the citizens of this country? I never heard of any grievances or strikes.
DipLowMat Pretty simple, Mr Q Rious. The top three people, Mr Snooty, Mr Sooty and Mr Micky Mouse, all have one thing in common - big ears. So, they always listen to their people and address the grivences; the bigger the ears, the bigger the input.
Q Rious I didn't notice it. Yes, the big ears is the secret. Now, let's move on to our real discussion. Diplomats come in for criticism from all quarters. How do you defend yourself, sir?
DipLowMat It is all rubbish. We do a very good job in the most difficult circumstances, yet only get insults in return. Typical Sri Lankans! just typical!!
Q Rious Is it really difficult to become a Sri Lankan diplomat? How do you get in?
DipLowMat It is very difficult, Mr Q Rious, very difficult. If you fancy, dream of Spice Girls, but never ever dream of becoming a diplomat with us, it is a non-starter. You need a very high IQ, a collection of degrees, a broad smile, good personality and the ability to communicate effectively.
Q Rious You people take the flak from the journalists and bloggers for failing on the last one, very badly.
DipLowMat F*****n B******s
The diplomat suddenly started freezing up and sweating profusely. He seemed to be down, but far from out
Q Rious You lost your nerve, sir!
DipLowMat You misread me, Mr Q Rious. It is a coded-message for - Oh, I see - in our diplomatic circle. You get what I mean.
Q Rious Oh, I see. So, you have your own language too. By the way, you said about the need of high IQ for a diplomat. What is it for? They are not in the business of invetion or creation?
DipLowMat Mr Q Rious, you got that one wrong. We are in the business of inventing. We cook up stories.
Q Rious You cook up stories: but they are not marketable; nor are they best-sellers. What's going on?
DipLowMat Of course, we haven't come up with a Harry Potter yet, but I can tell you we have done quite a few Winnie the Pooh.
Q RiousI certainly agree with that. They all stink! How come Pongu Thamil becomes such a big event under you breath?
DipLowMat Well, I can't speak on behalf of my fellow diplomats. But, a big but, these events are very common in Disneyland and they don't get any unusual publicity or notoriety. So, my hands are clean.
Q Rious It shows our diplomats are not efficient folks. Your comments?
DipLowMat On the contrary, it shows Tamil Tigers are good at organizing and our people are bad at sabotaging. What is the more noble in diplomatic sense, Mr Q Rious?
Q Rious Of course, the latter. The English skills of the diplomats is an issue too. Your views?
DipLowMat We devoure Shakespher, then vommit the Merchant of Venice. The rest is absorbed, by default. This simple mechanism makes us fluent in English. Of course, we may not sound intersting on the small screen, because we feel claustrophobic in studios, that is all. Is it a big deal? We are after all human beings, when we are out of our embassies.
At this stage, I thought of suspending the sober part of chat with the diplomat. Since I was not over the international waters in flight, I couldn't punch him in the face for fear of prosecution by the relvant country. So, I took a well-earned nap befor starting the second part after a few glasses of whisky. You may see that part later, at some point.
