HELLO ELEPHANT PASS...

NEWS from various sources seem to indicate that the SLA is determined to try out its new mechanized brigade and a brand new set of tactics in a frontal assault on Elephant Pass.

While the rhetoric from some of the SLA's top rankers reminds one of a certain western leader who talked of 'shock and awe' in a war that has now mired his soldiers in a hell with no end in sight, there are other veteran soldiers who think an attack on E'Pass is not really all that important to the anti-LTTE drive at this point. But the planners have done a great job so far in conducting the present anti-terrorism efforts effectively and with specific, meaningful goals achieved. Losing E'pass would deny the LTTE the ability to choke off an armed assault on the rest of the areas from the northern side.

Here's a great article on the subject...http://sf-3.blogspot.com/2008/02/should-sla-make-move-on-eps.html
