True colors are shown. This military man used SJB as a trojan horse to get into the parliament. There are other who used SJB as a trojan horse to enter the parliament as MPs.

This foul mouth writes a crappy book and look at the expenses incurred by the tax payers money for the book launch. The entire set of political backers , the army personnel. After this you can increase the taxation by another 1pct.,

What A Disgusting Scenario and Drama Saturday, 29 June 2024 12:08 AM
Can’t comprehend this whole scenario! One moment all are against each other and now a “drama” is unfolded. It shows they are part of wider gang broken up into sections. Each section will criticise and throw tantrums at each other but are actually united. Many are suggesting SF to run the Defence and Law portfolios but how’s he gonna to achieve anything by rubbing shoulders with the others the citizens so despise with? Conclusion is not to vote for him in the coming elections as he will create endless dramas instead of moving forward the country to improve the living standards of the people. This goes to all other current and previous so called politicians not to be voted into parliament this coming elections as the country urgently needs younger professionals to run it like a private company maximising income and developments and giving good returns / results to the citizens.

Sarath Fonseka has earned incomparable services for his motherland through his military genius and successes!!! These are undisputed and recognized nationwide!!! His political development and above all his party political activities are assessed and judged very differently! After initially presenting himself as an independent presidential candidate, a few days ago there were rumors of a political affinity and closeness to Ranil Wickremesinghe!!! Now his "war history" book is being presented to a select public in the presence of the president! The photos show a relaxed and familiar interaction between two extremely different characters who in the past had more political differences than common ground!!! Fonseka should think very carefully about whether he can enter into any kind of cooperation with Wickremesinghe, who is rejected by the majority of the people! He and his political ambitions could fail and seriously damage his reputation!!!

Looks like SF is going to be eith Ranil. Ranil is a strategic politician and he will get AKD to support him too.

NPP and JVP are idealogically too different to SLPP to support Ranil Saturday, 29 June 2024 07:45 PM
NPP and JVP leaders would get killed by their own youth if they supported SLPP. NPP is against all the corrupt minded policy of SLPP, UNP, SJB and SLFP, and it would mad to expect they would not want to govern in their right.

All this big fuss made by the UNP's celebrating by eating Kiribath and lighting crackers by the rice eating kattle just for the re scheduling of UD$ 10 billion and what happens to the balance 90 billion that has to be paid. Who will eat Kiribath for that. What an uneducated and shameless people.

The voters should not be fooled by these political re-alignments in an election year eyeing powerful ministerial positions after getting elected to Parliament thru the SJB, his new-found friend lacks political base as he was uprooted at the last election and as his days in the political stage are numbered, his only hope would be to capture the elephant party as a last resort.

Fonseka should remember that even brilliant generals can fail, especially in an area where conventional military strategies and weapons are not suitable!!! Even Fonseka is not immune to the myth of invincibility when he makes pacts with politicians who have deceived the people and rejected their very legitimate demands for equality and justice!!!

Fonseka is too big headed to believe he can fail Saturday, 29 June 2024 07:48 PM
Fonseka is massive egotist. He does not believe he is anything like the failed brilliant generals of the past. In reality he is not at all brilliant, but a complete nincompoop. He will be used by Ranil and spat out like chewed betal leaf after Ranil has worked through him.

Truth Saturday, 29 June 2024 10:53 PM
Krishna tells Arjuna, "Arjuna, you always thump your chest and say that Karna is your birth rival and take pride in killing him, but do you know that you have killed a dead snake? Karna died not because you killed him. He died six times even before you killed him.
First, when a Brahmin cursed Karna that the wheel of his chariot would submerge when he was in an epic fight of his life.
Second, when Parusharam, his guru, cursed Karna that the Brahmastram (equivalent to today's nuclear weapon) that he learnt from him would not come in handy for him at the time he most wanted it and that he would forget it's usage when he most desired to use it.
Third, When Indra, asks Karna for his divine Kavach (the shiny armor embedded to his skin since birth) and kundal (ear rings) as a donation from him before the war.
Fourth, when Kunti asks Karna to promise her not to kill any of the Pandavas except Arjuna and also not to use the Nagastram on Arjuna more than once.

This is just an ordinary book launch. So why is all this lavish state funded, military and Sinhalese Jingoism on display, with all sorts of speeches and actions to further alienate the island's Tamils.

RW, Sajith and JVP tried to make SF the president of the country in 2010. Imagine the situation if SF won. Thank god it was MR who won in 2010. If MR won in 2015 instead of that joker Sirisena, we would not be facing the current problems.
