This is a war against terror how do you expect to handle them . . . with water guns? Need to ask LTTE to let the civilians leave

[covariancee]

these countries trying to blame SL for everything..They haven't face a terrorist organization like ltte yet..They don't know what the fuck SL has to deal with. Get one hour from praba to let people walk out of the conflict zone before asking days from SL...if the international community think they are so good do that first.

What is relevent is whether the LTTE let the civilian go during the pause when they proved twice before they won't heed to a pause.

100,000 moved to safety in 2 days when the military intervened but non during 2 days of pause.

What the LTTE is expecting make a pause and offer the Eelam on a plate but unfortunately for them It is not Ranil Wickramesinghe is the president.

So that was the second blunder LTTE did for themselves but the best they did for Sri Lanka and for the Tamil people!!

If a temporary ceasefire is declared only the following will happen.

LTTE will get a chance to stop running and get hold of the remaining civilians again. This will help the LTTE to effectively re-control & retake the civilians as hostages.

So the best is to keep the LTTE on the run so that they cannot hold the civilians & civilians can escpae.

Please remember LTTE is shooting at the escaping civilians. The best way to keep the civilians safe is to chase the LTTE & keep them on the run.
