It is very noble of them indeed! Very professional and caring to the letter!!<BR/><BR/>The lady doctor in question was killed over a personal dispute: the army folk had some previous problems with her and then when he was humiliated while his wife was seeking treatment, he became nasty and got the revenge. We don't advocate either.<BR/><BR/>The GMOA tries to depict a picture of an organized killing - targeting the doctors - which is a blatantly misleading.<BR/><BR/>We thought only Tamil Tigers are terrorists. Those who terrorise vulnerable patients by staying away from the duty are also on the same wavelength - <B>Terrorists-in-Overalls</B>.<BR/><BR/>Army generals, Navy Commanders, High Ranking Police officials got killed - both on duty and off-duty. The organizations that they represented did not go on strike in seeking after sympathy. <BR/><BR/>Is the bodyguard for each and every doctor the latest demand of the GMOA?<BR/><BR/>If public sympathy is the goal of the GMOA on this occasion, what they get is public hatred, instead. I think they have accumulated enough of it already by the conduct of the majority of this organization. Do they want more of it?<BR/><BR/>Well, if the organization does not behave itself, the day that the disgruntled public will take the law into their own hands is not far away.<BR/><BR/>Nowhere in the world, do the doctors go on strike on petty issues like the above, when they are fully publicly funded.<BR/><BR/>The minister of health can use his influence as the Head of the WHO to cut down these folks to size - both nationally and internationally - by exposing them as the serial abusers of Hippocratic Oath.Vivaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389611860445104274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-30337259977208742392008-10-03T17:02:00.000+05:302008-10-03T17:02:00.000+05:30Srilankan‘about a protest against the "singhala bu...Srilankan<BR/>‘about a protest against the "singhala buddist chauvenistic govt".’<BR/><BR/>Yes they can say any thing against us but their backers knows the facts. They know that we are a democracy still elected by the people etc.They also knows what these terrorists are up to what they have been doing in their own Areas. It’s a pot of gold they hold and the Diaspora numbers that are talking. Since their poll ratings are down they are desperate enough to clutch straws. Perhaps the next administration might change things in our favour.GOSL must do things right that is credible like abandoning building an international airport in a god forsaken place in SW of the island and trying to bring back Mihin Air. People who wants to help or speak for us see these as evidence of poor judgement. I would sincerely urge the state to move their high security officers and other establishments out of commercial areas as the country’s wealth and wellbeing depends on business and enterprise which is suffering at present. People who pay rent and interest on loans for their business can’t wait for the war to end. They contribute both to the coffers of the state and not forgetting the jobs they create.kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14237448680173590312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-79992385857877370652008-10-03T17:00:00.000+05:302008-10-03T17:00:00.000+05:30SCENARIOS-Where does Sri Lanka's war go if rebel c...SCENARIOS-Where does Sri Lanka's war go if rebel capital falls?<BR/>Fri Oct 3, 2008 4:42pm IST Email | Print | Share | Single Page [-] Text [+]<BR/>By C. Bryson Hull<BR/><BR/>COLOMBO, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Sri Lankan soldiers on Friday were within 3.5 km (2 miles) of Kilinochchi, the headquarters town of the Tamil Tiger separatist rebels they have fought since 1983 in one of Asia's longest-running wars.<BR/><BR/>Here are some possible scenarios for what happens if the army takes Kilinochchi, a symbolic target:<BR/><BR/>MORALE, MARKET BOOST: Taking Kilinochchi would by no means mean an end to the war, but it would be a major political boost to President Mahinda Rajapaksa's government and also to the armed forces' morale. Most financial analysts expect a very short-term rally on the Colombo Stock Exchange .CSE. But it has generally moved on its own fundamentals since the war has been running so long and players are used to it. The rupee currency is unlikely to be affected, since the Central Bank routinely intervenes to prevent any rapid movement.<BR/><BR/>TIGER CENTRE SHIFTS EAST: If the army occupies the town, it will force the Tigers into hiding in the jungle -- to which they are very accustomed. It will also mean any Tiger administrative offices not destroyed in airstrikes will likely be forced to shift east to the rebel-held port of Mullaitivu. But soldiers are moving toward Mullaitivu from the south, and fighting there has been heavy in recent weeks.<BR/><BR/>ARMY MOVES DOWN FROM JAFFNA: If the army holds Kilinochchi, it will control all but about 40 km (25 miles) of the A9 road, the main north-south highway that goes through the narrow neck of the Jaffna Peninsula, the northernmost part of Sri Lanka. The army has been garrisoned there since 1995, but the Tigers are dug in across a short no-man's-land on the neck. It is heavily mined and Tiger artillery batteries there and southwest across the water at Pooneryn have inflicted heavy casualties on advancing troops. Should the army punch through the western port of Nachikuddah, where some of the bloodiest fighting of the last month has gone on, it would aim to hit Pooneryn and neutralise the artillery. Doing that would free troops in Jaffna to begin fighting their way down to squeeze the Tigers from two sides.<BR/><BR/>COUNTERATTACK: The Tigers could do what they have done after losing territory in the late 1980s and early 1990s, which is regroup in the jungles,then drive the army back while inflicting heavy casualties. But security analysts say there are several reasons that is less likely now. First, the army has grown to more than three times its size then, and gone from being a largely symbolic unit to a battle-hardened corps. Second, the military has improved its weaponry and adopted small-unit commando tactics that have proved an effective counter-insurgency strategy. Third, the rebels have been hit hard by the application of anti-terrorism financing laws around the world and interceptions of weapons shipments at sea by the Sri Lankan navy, with Indian assistance.<BR/><BR/>COLOMBO ATTACKS SPIKE: If the Tigers feel cornered in the conventional war, many analysts fear an increase in bomb blasts in the capital Colombo, more than 300 km to the southwest of the war zone. There have been six in the city since Aug. 30, when a bomb exploded in a market and injured 45 people. It was the worst of the series, but earlier bombs have killed hundreds over the years. However, the city is under heavy security and the government has no compunction about carrying out heavy-handed sweeps of Tamil areas to avert future attacks.

All the structures and monuments built by LTTE without the consent of Government of Sri Lanka should be demolished and cleared to the extent that nobody will ever remember there was such a thing. I know that it is a distraction at this point. However, this is a great time to take care of all illegal structures since they will get more attention after a few months. Obviously, nobody needs to know that they have been taken down. In the future, we may be able to utilize such spaces to build sewage treatment facilities that serve peaceful citizens of Sri Lanka.Sam Pererahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07809036198381030982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-4947399302612398392008-10-03T15:29:00.000+05:302008-10-03T15:29:00.000+05:30Qrious,I was reading Athas, from a recent issue of...Qrious,<BR/>I was reading Athas, from a recent issue of ST; it suddenly occurred to me that Qrious could write a better column, whilst having his breakfast, scanning the morning newspaper and listening to Haydn. <BR/><BR/>So how about an Occasional “ Not the Situation Report by Qrious”?<BR/><BR/>Oh, make sure you use a few:<BR/>“cannot be disclosed for obvious reasons”<BR/>“He spoke on grounds of anonymity since he is not authorised to speak”<BR/>“Other very important aspects relating to this matter cannot be discussed for reasons that are now obvious”<BR/><BR/>You could quote Moshe as " a senior Army officer in the Wanni told ” <BR/><BR/>And always call the sun god Mr. Prabhakaran.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Look at the career opportunities: Wijaya newspapers … CNN … Jane’s ….BBC Sinhala (oops, never mind).No_MESShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904843712616500009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-8187975186614528772008-10-03T14:44:00.000+05:302008-10-03T14:44:00.000+05:30aney budu padesan aiye, umbata mokada wuneeeiiii. ...aney budu padesan aiye, umbata mokada wuneeeiiii. api heenen wath hithuwe ne umbata mehema deyak wenna kiyala, aiyyooo mage padeSithsalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946306752147923415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-45916117460693293642008-10-03T14:35:00.000+05:302008-10-03T14:35:00.000+05:30Guys,Pee-ter is back; so, I interviewed Pottu Amma...Guys,<BR/><BR/><B>Pee-ter</B> is back; so, I interviewed <B>Pottu Amman</B> and dedicate my interview to <B>Pee-ter</B> who seems to have his own brand of sense of humour. Here are the excerpts:<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> Mr Amman, good evening!<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: It is early morning hear, brother.<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> I guess, it is pretty dark inside bunkers - simulated dusk!<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: Yea, yea. The situation is a bit fluid now.<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> Mr Amman, you are an introvert!<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: Who says so?<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> The <A HREF="http://www.interpol.int/public/Data/Wanted/Notices/Data/1994/43/1994_9043.asp" REL="nofollow">Interpol</A><BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: Why did they single me out?<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> The term is not insulting. It is just a personal trait. Lots of clever folks are introverts; for instance, Einstein.<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: What else do they say about me?<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> You are always on alert. Is it true?<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: Of course, I am. I am the Head of the Intelligence wing - TOSSI<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> You are credited with showing quite a few high profiles, an early grave. Your comments!<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: I deny it. We are freedom fighters and do not advocate violence.<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> Mr Amman, you talk as if you were borne again. Who committed the countless deaths then?<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: The other groups<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> For instance?<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: I can't betray our cause by naming them. We all fight for the same cause.<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> Who killed Rajiv Gandhi?<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: I think our supreme leader clarified the issue in an international press conference, a few years back.<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> He said he can't talk about something that happened more than 10 years ago.<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: I fully agree with my leader; if something is older than 10 years, we must forget them and move forward. Life is too short to fume and fret!<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> But, your leader still vividly recall the events that happened over fifty years ago.<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: You have to spell it out for me...<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> The riots by the Sinhalese against Tamils in 1953. He has neither forgotten nor forgiven the Sinhalese.<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: That is because you repeated it in 1983.<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> But still, it is more than 10 years isn't it?<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>:Listen, my broher. Our supreme leader is semi-divine. You know he is also called Sun god by very loyal Tamils. He has an evolving calender. So, the definition of year may be changing from time to time. You know, in the Bible, it says that the God created in 6 days followed by a rest, the next day. It doesn't say that <I>day</I> had 24 hours. Times are changing and so are the terms.<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> You hardly move about with the rest of the seniors. Your critics say it is because you are superior in caste - the only Wellala man in the organization.<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>:I deny it. I am secretive by nature, because of my role. <BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> Any leadership ambitions?<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: I am No 2.<BR/><BR/><B>Q Rious:</B> Soosai, thinks so as well.<BR/><BR/><B><I>P Amman</I></B>: He had better stayed away from boats, then.

The obvious title is “The Crisis of Human Rights in Sri Lanka”. Our attendance is a must as we need to refute and challenge some of the outrageous and fabricated issues the speakers (under the guise of intellectual concern) are going to discuss there.<BR/><BR/>Dr Brian Seniveratne, who is the most ardent LTTE lobbyist in Australia, is one of the speakers!!!<BR/><BR/>The details of the seminar are:<BR/><BR/>Date: 10 October 2008 (Friday)<BR/>Where: University of Sydney (main campus), Professorial Board Room, Main Quad <BR/>Time: 3 – 5 pm<BR/>Cost: Free – contact the events coordinator on (02) 9351 0238<BR/>Email:law.scil-rsvp@usyd.edu.auAntidotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993349812674249343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-25879072399510546182008-10-03T06:48:00.000+05:302008-10-03T06:48:00.000+05:30Sam,I understand what you mean.

But after the liberation, terrorist remnants would be dealt by Special Force and intelligence units.<BR/><BR/>And I think many misunderstood my following comment. "Total of seven divisions. I guess Mulathivu is too small for that." By this I did not mean that having seven divisions in Mulathivu is bad. What I meant is quite the opposite (that LTTE would be in a very disadvantageous position).<BR/><BR/>Ninja,<BR/>Current LTTE activities in the Eastern Province cannot be compared with what would be expected in the Northern province after the liberation. It would be quite a different scenario. Currently the East is fed (by supplying more cadres) by the North. But after the demise of northern terror regime, the flow of cadre would slow down to a trickle. I bet you wouldn't see a sudden increase of terror activities like today. There would be continuous mop up operations and if Tamil people are lucky, terror activities would die down slowly (similar mopping up operations are going on in the east today). I don't think we require three hundred thousand strong Army for that. Dedicated and capable hundred thousand would be sufficient. But under one condition satisfied. That is by keeping the economic and political paths on the correct track.hemanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075005485723598181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-46856602522047854622008-10-03T06:37:00.000+05:302008-10-03T06:37:00.000+05:30"What they didn't know was that Lt Col Maran is a ..."What they didn't know was that Lt Col Maran is a Muslim.

He probably died sometime ago in an intelligence operation. Just because VoT announced his death on 29 September does not thst mean he died on the day. They announce deaths within the year to ensure that the name comes up on the list in time for Heroes Day.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008397586569019159noreply@blogger.com
