Over 1500 civilians escaped LTTE today. Why are field realities so different from LTTE reports?

Because they are lies.
Thank goodness that the confirmations via evacuations speaks of a different story than what was reported by the LTTE

What is really confounding is how these terrorists and “militants” get their hands on the same weapons and utilize them in a sequential manner. In Sri Lanka it was reported that the LTTE was burning out large areas for illumination and cover when they are retreating from the deathly mine laden bunds/moats that they erect.

The main fallacy within this construct is that it blames entire countries for actions of individuals and groups.
I believe that Janaka Perera is trying to make political hay and if you have followed his stream you would realize that he has a rigid, specific agenda that has nothing to do with Asian Security. Gothyaba Rajapaksa has a much better handle on how to retain good relationships with our neighbors whilst protecting security for Sri Lanka, the region and internationally. You will not be taking my programme and reworking it regardless of how many names you drop or are affiliated with. You want to lambaste the USA for attending to a conflict that it was duty bound to do? I will tell you to take a glimmer of hell without the USA. Those men and women from the USA did not know about ancient battles and that people were being moved to fight on events from thousands of years past and that there was a force that was trying to reawaken every ancient battle without considering all of our ancient Treatise of Peace. That is why those were reaffirmed last year. I tire of narrowness of men that have spent so much rime on one track that they cannot see past, you will never convince me that you words are a reflection of Champika. There was a challenge given to Afghanistan to grow food instead of opium so that those men would have a legitimate livelihood that did not require extremism to protect. That was supported from Araby to beyond Japan to the Americas – that was funded and there were opportunities created for it to take root and grow. There were major supports not only in segments of Taliban but also many other warring groups in the region. This support was inclusive to wide groups of peoples that believe it is more important to promote food crop growth than opiates as we are in a world food crisis.
What or who blocked it? I am asking Rohitha not to get into an inbroglio for Janaka Perera or Ranil Wickremesinghe for it is well know that these purported enemies of today were bosom buddies day before last. As it is well known who holds their lead which in American parlance is known as the leash. One man’s think tank is another man’s asylum – that is why when I was asked to sit at RAND, I twice politely refused. That is why when I was invited to “observe” at Bildenberg – I sent Champy.

It is also why when there are those that want to blame Nirval Cabraal for the Gold Key mess, I just point that the mess is billions more than Gold Key and that my peoples want their money back.

This is why though I may not agree with everything that congress or political personalities may say – and as of late many have shown their derierres for supporting terrorist organizations that I support unstintingly equal rights and protections under the law, freedom of religion with the distinction between religion and cults, the right to free speech as long as it does not violate other basic rights, the rights of each child to grow up in a world with potential, the sovereign rights and obligations of sovereign nations to bring basic services such as electricity, education, roads, jobs, a revenue stream and tax base for continuation of progress to peoples in their lands.
Now the LTTE is saying there is a hepatitis outbreak amongst infants in the terrorist held zone. I say release the peoples because we have staffs that are very capable of treating them. I also say that the intraveneous drug use that you have subjected these mothers to – you will dearly pay for. For years we have been been tracing heroin smuggling between India and Sri Lanka and the region; thus far the Nadesans, Pabraharakans, Balsinghams, Alprusalgams etc. of India have not been netted but we do know many of them live in Chennai and want free zones to transport drugs. Why is that not acceptable? Because all the arms running, the human trafficking, bank and credit card fraud, identity theft, usurping of lands and resources are not involved. If these terrorists were fighting for the freedom of peoples they wouldn’t hold them as human shields. Many regions of the world from the Americas, to Africa, Middle East, Southern Asian Isles are confronting different levels of this but the LTTE had managed to gain an unbelievable stock of weapons, aircrafts, boats, subm
What is up with Gordon Weiss? The only thing consistent about him is his inconsistency for each time his allagations are disproven he blames it on misinformed and incompltete sources but he never bothers to do confirmations with all available sources prior to releasing a statement.
“Mr. Weiss, the U.N. spokesman, said Monday that “to the best of our knowledge, the government doctors trapped with these civilians have proven consistently reliable.”
