Indeed the Main Opposition United National party (UNP) would like very much that a visiting United Nations Experts Panel should be allowed to meet former Army Commander retd. Gen. Sarath Fonseka as he has “expressed willingness to face any international probe without harming the country or the security forces” which sounds like a joke ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ knowing fully well what the real outcome of this would be. Especially in the face of all the threats Fonseka has made against the Government in his futile attempts to discredit it through irresponsible verbosity and more!

What a spoof this sounds to be as the world at large now knows the intentions of both the UNP as well as Sarath Fonseka’s objectives which are collective towards discrediting the Government as well as attempting to bring it down, blatantly proven through all their posturing towards this but perhaps a wasted effort as there is no obligation on the part of the Government to entertain the UN Panel whose insistence towards the investigationsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ stinks of a possible response toƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ constant lobbying by the residue of Ealam separatists and pro Tamil Tiger activists around the world,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ some of whom have even been able to creep into the onceƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ prestigious UN organization which seems to have lost a lot of credibility due toƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ such types as well asƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ politically impotent goons manning its leadershipƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  one of whom certainly appears to be the present leader MoonƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ as well as his predecessor whose international bunglings on world issues cannot be swept under the carpet or hidden from the International CommunityƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ due to their blatant transparencies as well as being puppets on a string manipulated by those who want them to dance to their tunes with no real motivations towards creating a better world!

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ That the UNP has called for a Sarath Fonseka interview as part of theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  visiting UN panel’s agendaƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ whilst carrying outƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ an ‘investigativeƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ probe’ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ comes as no surprise as their chief objective appears to be as always, one towards discrediting the GovernmentƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ in the vainƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ hope thatƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ it could be brought down by hook or by crook and in this case by a bunch of crooks whose hooks don’t seem to be able to snag anything beyond their own duplicities and innuendo and worst of all led by an incompetent leader who cannot even hold onto his leadership with unified respect from the entire party!

Hence it would seem quite appropriate for theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  GovernmentƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  that instead ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ saying theUN PanelƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ visit would beƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ to testify before the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) it needs to banƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Ban Ki Moon andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  his goons from entering the country to dabble into an internal matter of a sovereign nation where the Moon goons have areas ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ much greater critical importance of real human rights violations in other very visible parts of the world where human rights violationsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ take on catastrophic proportions almost on a daily basis rather than continually poke their noses into a Nation trying to rebuild after a reprehensible terrorist insurgency and merely getting in the way of its progress through pontificative bufoonery!.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ To be precise the UN move ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ seems to be no more than a ploy to appease residual Tamil Tiger support by pro Tiger activists who have crept into the UN and also happen to be cronies of theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ‘Moon Goon’ entourage while their transparencies show them to be painfully laced in a conflict of interestƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  scenario being ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Tamils and their voices towards discrediting the Government,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ of no recent occurence and something that has prevailed for all the time the LTTE were operative and even after their demise!ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Hence, all things considered there seemsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ no realƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ obligation on the part of the GovernmentƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  of Sri Lanka to dance to the tune of the present UNP cacophony calling for a UN interview with an incarceratedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  ex Army General whose collective conflicts of interest on the issue are painfully visible and any depositions by him asƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ retired General Fonseka who was fully awareƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ of what happened during the final stages of the warƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ appears to be from someoneƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ready to distort the real facts behind who was responsible for human rights violations despite being one of the architects of the tumultous war waged against it and the terrorists involved ~ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ by the brave and dedicated Sri Lankan Armed ForcesƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and should not be permitted to create innuendo against the Government, which he will in collussion with the UNP if given half a chance.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ And ironicallyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ if there are allegations against theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Armed Forces, of human rights violations the greatest liability will then rest on the shoulders of Sarath Fonseka himself and what the UNP are doing in calling for Fonseka’s participation is perhaps an inadvertent tightening of the proverbial noose around his neck and in the end it could be Fonseka himself alone who might be tried for war crimes albeight the likelihood of an attempt by him to pass the buck to his superiors and all in all a can of worms the UNP would be well advised to avoid as the repercussions for such insensibility as well as imperceptions could be disastrous as then the Administration could easily view this as treason and the ramifications unimaginable and very rightly so when a sovereign democracy is involved and foreign interference plausibly apparent through the coercion of unpatriotic Sri Lankan nationals who should by all rightsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ be brought to justice!

In this case if the tables are turned on the UNP and Fonseka both the UNP or those involved from within the partyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and retd Gen Fonseka could face reprisals within the provision andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ statutes of Sri Lankan Law and something both entities could ill afford.
