you realize that we are getting a full plate of Zionist propaganda and double-game fooleys (as if I needed another reason to stop patronizing them)!!
Gee, ISRAEL BEHIND BOTH SIDES, huh?
No wonder it is a bloody, mass-murdering mess. Everywhere they go, death and destruction are sure to follow.
"Sri Lanka presses on with fight against rebels" by Associated Press | January 4, 2009
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - Sri Lankan forces launched air strikes and ground assaults on ethnic Tamil rebels in the north yesterday, a day after dealing the separatists' struggle for autonomy a devastating blow by capturing their de facto capital, the military said.
But in a sign the insurgents remained determined to battle on, a small bomb planted under a car exploded on a busy street in Colombo yesterday, wounding three people, said Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara, a military spokesman. The attack came a day after a suspected rebel suicide attacker blew himself up near air force headquarters in the city, killing three airmen.
Yeah, about those "suiciders": please see Occupation Iraq: Israel's IEDs and related links, readers.
Ethnic Tamil politicians, warning that the beleaguered rebels would simply turn to guerrilla warfare, appealed for an end to the fighting and for new talks to resolve the Indian Ocean island nation's ethnic conflict....
*****************
The rebels have been fighting since 1983 to create an independent homeland for Tamils, who have suffered decades of marginalization by governments controlled by the Sinhalese majority. International mediators, including the United States, have long called for a political solution, saying that warfare will not resolve the underlying tensions.
That's your conventional myth supplied by the Zionist MSM anyway.
But a 2002 cease-fire collapsed amid new fighting three years ago and a new government offensive has squeezed the rebels into 620 square miles of jungle, an area about the size of Los Angeles. President Mahinda Rajapaksa vowed to destroy the group this year....
The rebels have come back from major defeats before to surprise government forces and retake territory, but many analysts said the unrelenting government offensive made such a comeback less likely this time.Yeah, and WE KNOW WHY and with WHOSE HELP, too -- although maybe Israel has abandoned the Tamils seeing as they are getting their asses kicked!!!
Of course, if they make a "comeback," well.....
--more--"
