What The Armed Forces Have Begun So Forcefully Must Continue Unimpeded

July 12th 2007

These are phenomenal times for Sri Lanka where the terrorists of the LTTE have been driven to desperation and with this desperartion also come the licking of wounds, lies, threats and all the innuendo they can muster.Their so called military spokesperson one Rasiah Illyanthiran of no known military affiliations worth talking about, a diabolical liar and apathetic con. artist has now declared that the LTTE are still operational and that they have hit a Sri Lankan Air Force Kfir Jet and have produced some odd looking metal junk with hardly a dent in them, probably picked up from a scrapyard to substantiate the false claim which has been scoffed away by credible armed forces reports as a concoction and a cooked up story intended to mislead.

He has also bragged about their big guns, air capability and fighting strength in stating to gullible media such as the BBC and Reuters that "The Tigers have vowed to resist with their entire arsenal which includes ground forces, a naval wing and light aircraft smuggled in and modified to carry bombs. which must surely be transposed towards an image of theatrics, rhetoric and running capability rather than a gunning one as better describing their fortes! while not ignoring them completely! It is the Armed Forces that must do all the gunning and maintain the LTTE's running now!

Although the Government readies itself to celebrate the victories in the East and with certain justification it may also be prudent and in hindsight to celebrate after their next intended target the Wanni is cleaned up and Velupillai Prabhakaran is flushed out of hiding and taken out before he bites his cyanide capsule as he needs to be taken alive to answer for his crimes against humanity!

Somewhat shamefully from a Sinhalese standpoint it needs also to be observed that while everyone else in Sri Lanka who has waited for this victorious time is jubilant, there is a single faction of tiny minded and dejected individuals led by none other than the opposition leader Ranil Wickremasimghe who has refused to acknowledge what is indeed a milestone in Sri Lanka's march against LTTE insurgency and has chosen to scoff and ridicule the Armed Forces' accompishments showing the man in his true colours and as some would like to dub him a conscienceless traitor of the Sinhala Nation whose yellow underbelly is gradually beginning to be exposed while calling himself a Sinhalese! He has tried everything within and beyond his means to discredit the Government and has never indicated any agreement with the imperative need to rid the Nation of the terrorist scourge where many accusations against him in the past as an LTTE collaborator now appear to have more than a ring of truth to it!

The so called LTTE 'senior leader' S.P. Tamilselvan, whose leadership qualities are dubious at best given his seedy track record has once again vowed to attack economic targets to weaken Sri Lanka's Government and something which the World Leaders criticising the Sri Lankan Administration and policies of the Armed Forces should take note of and the fortifications of National Security bolstered to meet even an idle threat where no stone has to be left unturned!

Their attacks in the recent past have been succesfully thwarted and met with admirable and courageous resistance and once again repeated if necessary where any interference from extraneous sources should be swept aside in the best interests of National Security!

A second cleanup of likely terrorist fronts and collaborators withinin the perimeter of the Capita and outlying areas as well as major towns and cities should be viewed very seriously disregarding the hooing and haaing of the sympathisers who hamper the cause of National Security! A master plan needs to be set up towards this to protect the innocent who undoubtely would be a visible entity by virtue of their bona fides!

The man who claims to be the head of the rebel's political wing, was uttering his threats in typical cowardly fashion while hiding in some ditch in the jungles of Kilinochchi where a fate similar to Sadam Hussein the former dictator of Iraq who was found hiding in similar fashion surely awaits him albeit Thamilselvan is not even fractionally comparable with the former by way of status and personality despite similarities by way of many shortcomings particularly skills at subterfuge, innuendo and a knack to mislead and a contemptible coward alongside the rest of the LTTE leaders with no scruples, morals or consciences!!Together with his head honcho Prabhakaran and Rasiyah Illyanthiran you have a personification of LTTE's version of the Three Stooges of Tamil Infamy! bungling their way through their worthless existences at the expense of innocent lives sans humour!!

The huffing and puffing by Thamilselvam comes unsurprisingly after the Sri Lankan Armed Forces announced that they had captured the entire East of the country. This indicates dejection and frustration while the terrorist leader is perhaps pondering his own future where he would be best off in a holding cell once aprehended and manacled while the Legislators decide upon a course of punitive actions for collaborating with the rest of the terrorist leaders for many high crmes and misdemeanours once all have been rounded up hopefully more alive than dead, to try them collectively for their crimes against humanity despite high faluting rhetoric and the support from those who give them even an iota of credibility as part of the Sri Lankan ethnic infrastructure dedicated to the nation's posterity and well being which they could never hope to be and a totally unacceptable concept!

In a somewhat pathetic display of bravado~ this is no boy standing on a burning deck! mind you! but a common terrorist in hiding and perhaps soon on the run!~ the head of the Tamil Tigers political wing, S.P. Tamilselvan,has insisted they were not losing the war despite the announcement by the military that it had taken control of the entire East of the country and it was becoming more and more apparent with the latest reports that the LTTE were indeed having their butts kicked, running helter skelter and a matter of time before they lose complete control!

If there is such a place as "a Tiger stronghold in Kilinochchi "where the rebels are said to "still control the town and a large surrounding area in the north of Sri Lanka and that they run a civil administration, complete with a police force and courts" it is upto the Armed Forces to prove to the contrary that this is indeed a myth which has never been tangibly proven or substantiated as such reports should not be tolerated by the Administration and Armed Forces of a Sovereign Nation whose bounden duty and responsibility it is to discredit even aspirations to such by a bunch of condemned terrorists in a miniscule minority of the Nation's total populace! BBC and Reuters in particular, please note !

The LTTE's latest threats issued by Tamilselvam, the utterances that the Tigers would respond to the Sri Lankan military's advances by attacking economic targets rings hollow, given the walloping they are being subjected to at present, the vigilance of all commuities, Law enforcement agencies and the Armed Forces. He has also said the aim was to weaken Sri Lanka's government which of course has been said before where every attempt by the LTTE if they do have the wherewithal to keep their threats which many analysts believe are mere fang baring and growling by de fanged tigers cornered by the Sri Lankan Security Forces and desperate albeit the related dangers acknowledgeable! Approach with caution! in the finall push.These are dangerous tigers nonetheless!

The commanders of the collective Armed Forces have vowed to wipe out the rebels militarily which realistically and given all the firepower and personnel they possess seems the more likely outcome where the focus of military campaigns should now shift to the last pockets of terrorist resistance namely the jungles of Killinichchi, Mullativu and the North!

What the Armed Forces Have Begun So Forcefully Must Continue Unimpeded And Unhampered Towards A Terrorist Free Sri Lanka And All Lankans As Well As Freedom Loving People Around The World Should Unite Towards This Cause!
