and dont believe Rumors. I dont want look at those pics, I saw how they created those pics in past few months. in a one pic group of civilians are running and another woman is smiling holding a camera.

[dileepax]

Gov shelled, so what its a war. who cares about tamils being killed. only Eric S and Devid M have concerns. If you dont like it Go Back To Thamilnadu, that is the best thing you could do.

[SuperUrizen]

Sir, I don't want to sue the Government. I don't have the pictures, the rumor is that they have more pictures that clearly show we've shelled the no-fire zone--what I've seen online is enough to convince anyone, maybe you should take a look at them too. The thing is, they have evidence--so no matter how much the Government lies, it's of no use.

[dileepax]

ok sue the government using those pics you have .lol

[SuperUrizen]

Sure, by then he'll be like Robert Mugabe--no freedom to criticize the government, nepotism, extra-judicial killings, rape & looting my the constant military that is occupying even Colombo. Yes, sure, let's have him forever and see what happens...Hitler reborn?

[SuperUrizen]

Yes, congrats on killing over 20,000 innocent civilians. Congrats on holding the displaced behind barbed wire where they suffer from various diseases; while you idiots are jumping up and down, innocent civilians are dying of starvation in the IDP camps.

[SuperUrizen]

Well the big joke is that the government is going awards to these liars...all the time they were under the protection of the army to disseminate their pro-government propaganda, while keeping every other journalist in fear that the real massacre will be revealed. But you can't lie when satellite photos are being presented, where there is evidence of mass graves too.

[dileepax]

I dont like to reply to UT videos after we defeated you guys. But I wd reply 2 dis 1.

Yes I am lucky to c those things, because they deserve that. they all thought that killing civilians in Colombo, suicide bombers and massacring innocent villagers would get them a Elam. Now they are just bunch of losers without a PIGI Leader V Prabahakaran. PS- please dont reply to me saying that V P is alive and he is going to teach a good lesson to Sinhalese etc etc etc bullshit.

[SuperUrizen]

Yes, lucky to see 20,000 people massacred in the name of 'peace'. Lucky to see the army being helped by China without which the 'lions' would've been pussies. Lucky to see innocent Tamil civilians being held behind barbed wire without lack of the basic material; lucky to seem children and elderly people who had nothing to do with the LTTE being harrassed by the brutal sl forces.
