Lalin's Coloumn: How would the USA have defeated the LTTE? (2)
By Major General (Retired) Lalin Fernando
Had SL, when a earth shaking victory was nigh, acquiesced to pressure
from the West for a ceasefire to be followed by negotiations, the LTTE
as it had done at each and every ceasefire would still be carrying out
never ending assassinations, suicide and baby brigade attacks in towns
and cities, murder attacks on isolated villages and bombings of public
places, trains, buses and utilities. The 300,000 hostages would have
probably all died long ago if one accepts the accusations of deliberate
starvation and lack of medicines made by Sewage 4 media of Snow and
Weiss.
Further the USA and the West would have forced SL to consume their
patented devil’s brew that ruined every country that quenched its thirst
for liberation from them. That is the incontrovertible truth that
Butenis and Blake etc cannot deny.
All SL would now ask the West and its stooges is to state how they
would have taken out the 10-15,000 conventionally well armed cadres of
the LTTE that had an ersatz air and piratical sea element, while
holding 300,000 hostages captive .
The USA should look at its own track record. Its Attorney General has
said recently that the USA can and will kill its own citizens even in a
foreign country if they posed a threat to the safety of the USA. It
should reflect on its decision to nuke Hiroshima and Nagasaki which it
justified by the ‘law’ of necessity’. The fire bombing of German cities
in WW2, killing nearly a million in each including Dresden that did not
have even one regiment or an anti aircraft gun, was apparently done with
barbaric not tactical motives. Read more...
