HEAD COUNTING AND MEDIA WARS

THE grotesque head counts that are bandied by both the Defence Dept and the Tigers area reaching unsustainable levels. If at all, the Tigers seem to have more credibility in their claims, even for a hawk like me. In the meantime, the blogsphere key-board warriors take each declaration by which ever side they support into a howling match which makes the original intent of some of those blogs often meaningless.

Without a doubt, the Sri Lankan military has performed impeccably in their role and the present government has allowed themilitary to do its job. The current world dynamics also have helped incredibly in the pursuit of the goals teh government set for the military.

For all intents and purposes, the war is already won, for the concept itself has been defeated. All that remains is the fighting and in that the SL Defence Forces hold the upper hand.
