I am not sure if you thought about this, but making fun of the enemy and denigrating them is also a propaganda technique. So what you are doing has its uses. But you may also be pulled up by someone like Abarip (I wasn't commenting here those days, but I read your comments to the three questions Aparip raised - there are people who never forget!) for what you write, and I except an erudite answer, like the one that you gave to Abarip, then. ;)Roverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17767233435017760334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-85642441289715516382008-04-29T22:06:00.000+05:302008-04-29T22:06:00.000+05:30Casc,Thanks bro.fully agree with you.Casc,<BR/>Thanks bro.fully agree with you.Srilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-83779807513697114842008-04-29T21:33:00.000+05:302008-04-29T21:33:00.000+05:30puran appu said,"Qrious, your posting on Mr Nadesa...puran appu said,<BR/><BR/><I>"Qrious, your posting on Mr Nadesan was quite funny..."</I><BR/><BR/>Thank you Puran Appu; I will entertain folks, without blowing up the main purpose of this blog - discussion of defence.<BR/><BR/>Defence and humour can co-exist, but Rev Rayappu and divinity can't!Vivaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389611860445104274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-24329361177922854972008-04-29T21:23:00.000+05:302008-04-29T21:23:00.000+05:30http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ7Q1-2Qh-0Look how ...http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ7Q1-2Qh-0<BR/><BR/>Look how GOSL trated the Great Soldier who brought Thoppigala victory. be patient and thee the exercise equipment they got.

The political leadership must proceed with caution but at the same time hold some of the military leadership accountable for their actions. A merit based system can't be created if people are not held accountable for their actions. CBK created an ambassadorship in Brazil for General Rohan Daluwatte, who was the first person to hold the CDC rank. As you have suggested, the military top brass can be removed by promoting them to basically non-operational positions or in the case of service chiefs, sending them abroad as ambassadors (General Sri Lal Weerasooriya was sent as Ambassador to Pakistan not long after the 2000 EPS debacle). After the LTTE raid on the Navy's Dakshina base in Galle, a commission of inquiry instituted by the Navy found the CO guilty of negligence and ordered a reduction in rank and a loss of some benefits. The CO later appeald to the Supreme Court but lost his case.CASChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01362520666064815560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-30523412357420043842008-04-29T17:47:00.000+05:302008-04-29T17:47:00.000+05:30Rover, Kevin and all,Let us do our best at constru...Rover, Kevin and all,<BR/><BR/>Let us do our best at <B>constructive</B> analysis & auto-criticism when things go wrong.MathaMathicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866127874212066759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-18629516243073098072008-04-29T17:22:00.000+05:302008-04-29T17:22:00.000+05:30Qrious, your posting on Mr Nadesan was quite funny...Qrious, your posting on Mr Nadesan was quite funny...Puran Appuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09059911118545505214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-60912131007838586462008-04-29T17:00:00.000+05:302008-04-29T17:00:00.000+05:30slsolar,this "tigers arrested in the U.K" is exact...slsolar,<BR/>this "tigers arrested in the U.K" is exactly what it is.The problem here is what happens to the arrested tigers AFTER their arrest.If jailed the buffoon enjoyes "steak and kidney pud and chips followed by tiger spotted dick"..Maybe this fellow is getting arrested because he is unemployed and not bothered to get a job.when they are arrested this fellows face is replaced by that characteristic stupid "Thaamilsellum-EELAM" smile.Of course this buffoon only murders innocent people in SLanka..he is a little cuddly gollyworg in the UK..according to many of my sources.Srilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-9740110695151038132008-04-29T16:58:00.000+05:302008-04-29T16:58:00.000+05:30out of the topic how tamilent gets these photos h...out of the topic <BR/> how tamilent gets these photos http://www.tamilnet.com/img/publish/2008/04/29_04_08_02.jpg<BR/><BR/>because our websites didn't published these detaild photossanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654267738224543252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-26133387292804600482008-04-29T16:51:00.000+05:302008-04-29T16:51:00.000+05:30Gringo,Many thanks for your input.I posted a long ...Gringo,<BR/>Many thanks for your input.I posted a long message to you but deleted it. hope you read it in the meantime.Srilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-53626746716260186972008-04-29T16:49:00.000+05:302008-04-29T16:49:00.000+05:30Abhaya,Very well said.Sacking these officers now w...Abhaya,<BR/>Very well said.Sacking these officers now will cause an untenable situation within our forces.I think some of these gents just want to do their jubs till retirement and they get their pensions.So i dont think they will mind if some of their responsibilities(99%) are delegated to someone else.Its too late to sack them now because of the command structure and the attitude that we have among some of the top brass...this is a relic of pathetic politiicans of the past so we have to let it run its course sadly.Srilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-57596363540637033832008-04-29T16:28:00.000+05:302008-04-29T16:28:00.000+05:30Mathamathica,"At last., defence.lk got the stripes...Mathamathica,<BR/><BR/>"At last., defence.lk got the stripes correct !<BR/>LTTE building complex adjacent to Iranmadhu air stripe bombed<BR/>Changed to :<BR/>LTTE building complex adjacent to Iranmadhu air strip bombed<BR/><BR/>Let us let no mistake pass."<BR/><BR/>I am pleasantly surprised that they have changed it, perhaps they saw our discussion. But still, ideally, it should be one word, airstrip (because strip on its own can have different meanings, you know like taking off clothes ect.!).
