The 'Enigma' of Prabhakaran
Or The 'Enema' That Needs To Be Administered To The BBC To Purge Their
Misconceptions!

Once again the BBC has served up one of its contentiously duplicitous
submissions about the Tamil Tiger terrorists of Sri Lanka and its psychotic
leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.( courtesy of Mr. Alistair Lawson this
time around) The following is a contradiction intended to confound the
damning manner in which the BBC tries to portray this ruthless killer
as a folk hero and a case in point also for the Government of Sri lanka
not to negotiate under any condition with this megalomaniac unless they
themselves are demented and deluded into believung that this piece of
trash who calls himself a human being could be rehabilitated under any
circumstance!
Alistair Lawson of the BBC writes :- that From a secret jungle base
in the north-east of Sri Lanka, Velupillai Prabhakaran heads the Liberation
Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) or Tamil Tigers has a reputation as a fearless
and ruthless guerrilla leader and under his leadership, the Tamil Tigers
have become a highly-disciplined and highly-motivated guerrilla force
fighting for a separate homeland in the north and east of the country.
To confound this somewhat myopic opinion it has to be stated that Prabhakaran
is no fearless (albeit ruthless) guerrilla whose indiscipline and lack
of motivation has driven him and his motley insurgents to the point
of elimination at the hands of the Sri Lankan Armed Forces and is a
coward who hides behind screens of innocent civilians and undergroung
bunkers totally obvious of the concept of Bunker Busters!
It seems hallucinatory on the part of Mr Lawson to suggest that "For
much of the past three decades his organisation has shown no sign of
being defeated militarily by the Sri Lankan army, even though it is
vastly outnumbered." which sound typical pro LTTE propaganda often
spewed by BBC and others who support Tamil Tiger terrorism just before
an anticipated Tiger crunch as the truth is that for the past four decades
despite every attempt to acheive their objectives to form a separate
state they have failed miserably and today are running helter skelter
in disarray with nowhere to hide as they await their nemesis which is
total annihilation at the hands of the Sri Lankan Armed forces!
But it seems a reluctant admission by the BBC correspondent that in
recent advances by the Army - including the capture of rebel-held eastern
parts of the Island in 2007 -it has meant that Prabhakaran is now under
more military pressure than at any time which is an understatement as
Prabhakaran is literally 'wetting' his pants for fear of his life and
probably contemplating his options either of surrendering to the Armed
Forces or swallowing the cyanide pill which is sealed in a capsule around
his neck!" Prabhakaran is reputed to wear a cyanide capsule around
his neck, to be swallowed in the event of his capture. It is fair to
assume that he expects the same dedication from his troops, many of
whom the Sri Lankan government says are either women or children"quoting
Lawsons BBC item.
It is not merely a strong possibility but a foregone conclusion that
the town of Kilinochchi will fall soon where such a loss would be a
death blow to the terrorists because the town is assumed to be the rebels'
de facto capital, with political offices, courts, a police headquarters
and other administrative buildings which were of no real significance
where more thetrics than reality were presented to a gullible world
about its real credibilities!
It has been concluded by many terrorist researchers that he has been
wrongfully depicted as a man whom supportives say is much more at ease
fighting in the battlefield than he is sitting around a negotiating
table partly true perhaps as a result of his slight acumen to manouver
an army of insurgent thugs. Whilst being moderately educated and having
his speeches written for him by aides and more of an incoherent babbling
country bumpkin turned criminally insane killer as his track record
proves he also has no intellectual means to communicate with wisdom
and depends on brute force when afforded this by weak opposition towards
his ill intended objectives.
It is no mere argument but an inalienable fact that any peace process
is doomed to failure with Mr Prabhakaran as leader of the Tigers and
that even after a Norwegian brokered ceasefire was signed in 2002, the
rebels used the lull in fighting to re-group and re-arm as the only
means towards sustaining themselves and their pathetic existences as
an insurgent group ably backed by dissenting frustrated Tamil Diaspora
in a feeble minority although ambitious to attempt overcome the Sinhalese
majority comprising of 75% of the nations populace at any cost and what
a cost it has been for them for what little gain from the point of view
of Sri Lanka's enemies whose losses have now become unsurmountable!
It is a blatant concoction when Prabhakaran's supporters argue that
he fully embraced efforts to secure peace, pointing out that in 2002
he began de-commissioning arms, allowed a land route to be opened to
the rebels' northern stronghold in the Jaffna peninsula and even gave
support to his movement dropping its demand for a separate state which
has no tangible evidence or proof to corroborate these and mind boggling
as to where the BBC and Mr Lawson obtained these fabrications which
is what they are, tantamount to cheap rhetoric perhaps picked up from
the babblings of dreamers aspiring to overcome the moderators of Sovereign
Democratic Sri Lanka! through insurgent means
When in 2002 to 2008 - the The Mahinda Rajapaksha Government announced
that it was formally withdrawing from the ceasefire - Mr Prabhakaran
suffered a number of setbacks as his means to regroup were disrupted
and the security blanket spread around Sri Lanka to secure it from Prabhakarans
terrorists proved a cropper against terrorist ambits and set in motion
the wheels of destruction carrying the Armed Forces hell bent on wiping
out the terrorist scourge which had plagued the Island Nation for nearly
four decades!
The curtain finally fell on Prabhakaran when in 2004 a renegade Tamil
Tiger commander once a Prabhakaran loyalist known as Karuna, led a split
in the rebel movement in the East - a huge breach of Prabhakaran's security
was initiated and a body blow to his ranks dealt which has prevailed
to this day and is said to have been the turning point in Sri Lanka's
war against terrorism which was then picked up by the Armed Forces under
the present commander Lieut Gen. Sarath Fonseka together with the leaderships
of the Naval and Air Commands which have equitted themselves to the
task of ridding Sri Lanka of Prabhakaran's insurgents very admirably
and efficiently!
Thus the BBC's latest litany conducted by Aliatair Lawson continues
in it tedious and long drawn tirade of moaning and griping in favour
of the terrorist leader Prabhakaran who is also sought after by Interpol
and India for the crimes of killing India's much loved Prime Minister
Rajiv Gandhi and the many crimes Prabhakaran has committed against humanity
and is certainly not deserving of any accolades where realistically
the BBC and Mr Lawson's broadcast information should be trashed effectively
rather than being dispensed as the salient truth which it is the furthest
from, to an unsuspecting and at times gullible world! It is an affront
to rational thinking based on logical interpretation to even suggest
that "Prabhakaran is the dominating force in the rebel movement,
and that without his consent peace in Sri Lanka will never be attainable"
asto the contrary, he is a very sick puppy suffering from both physical
as well as mental impediments rabid on every count who needs to be put
out of his misery sooner than later!
This in a manner of speaking is the 'enema' needing to be administered
to the BBC towards purging it from broadcasting trashy bulletins as
opposed to the suggestion by the BBC that Prabhakaran is an 'enigma'
~ one which might not have been had the jungles of the Wanni been cleared
effectively with no though to the civilian population and the beautiful
flora and fauna which surrounds it now sullied by his evil presence.
