Apparently they have done this to cover up their lost of Adampan and to get some attention from the Diaspora. I agree with you on what you said about our security loopholes but what I was trying to explain is that how ltte is trying to nice stories about such an incident. Anyway we should expand our coastal security a bit more..MasterOfAllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774007664758689868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-26460791421830490852008-05-10T08:36:00.000+05:302008-05-10T08:36:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.MasterOfAllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774007664758689868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-23922345600373941262008-05-10T07:56:00.000+05:302008-05-10T07:56:00.000+05:30Does it matter now whether the vessel was full of ...Does it matter now whether the vessel was full of takaran or explosives or piduru or whatever? (Though of course if it was explosives, the situation would be more grave) The thing that's important now is that they managed to carry out a successful underwater demolition. Next time it can be an explosive filled vessel as well. It's about time we dropped our 'we are so better than them and they can't do anything right' attitude and start learning from our past mistakes to avoid such blunders again. Naturally the pro-LTTE media will start shouting about this for weeks, but we got bigger problems than that now.chamalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127419044238870804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-4957502035197086112008-05-10T07:45:00.000+05:302008-05-10T07:45:00.000+05:30Blogger MasterOfAll said...

I guess it's no use imagining the Navy had taken security measures against divers, seeing how even the country's air defences are not yet ready. <BR/><BR/>I think Parakrama is right. When we suffer losses we shouldn't try to cover it up with bullcrap, but we should learn from it. It's no use saying we killed the diver after he sunk the SLNS Sayura.....

I wouldn't go as far as calling for navy chief's resignation.<BR/><BR/>However, if I am to be realistic about this attack, then I'd say an enquiry should be held immediately. If somebody is guilty of negligence, then they should be punished.<BR/><BR/>The most serious point about this attack is LTTE's ability to infiltrate into the heart of SLN operations. This time it was a logistics vessel but next time it'll be a ship with 1000 troops in it.<BR/><BR/>So, rather than being sarcastic, we have to be ruthless in determining what went wrong.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, if it was due to sheer brilliance of LTTE, then we need to study how they did it and adjust our defences accordingly.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637603484772784114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-91444853561604446062008-05-10T05:40:00.001+05:302008-05-10T05:40:00.001+05:30Blogger Vibe said...
