According to the&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; media reports, General Fonseka was in total control of this operation and&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;he appointed commanders like Major General Jagath Dias and Brigadier&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Shavendra Silva, etc to lead the army from several fronts.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; As we all know, they succeeded in their operations in spite of the stiff&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;resistance from LTTE. Even though LTTE was weak at this time because of&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; lack of supplies, credit should go to General Fonsekafor appointing the&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;right people at the right time and for the operational tactics. But recent report says that General was not in the country when the war was won. Most probably he was not needed during that phase of the war. Our Security&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;forces without the General, Diplomats, Administrators and Politicians&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; completed the job in style with the public support. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; During this phase LTTE had the indirect support of the NGO &amp; INGO as well&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;as the SL opposition (UNP,Mangala Samaraweera, Mano Ganeshan, etc).&nbsp;&nbsp; Finally SLSF won the war.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;What if – the SLSF forces lost this war, what would be the situation now?&nbsp;&nbsp; Whose head would go to the chopping block first? Of course, as Commander&nbsp;&nbsp; and Chief, Mahinda’s head would go first followed by Gotabhaya, General&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Fonseka, etc and not the other way around. This is where the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;“Responsibility &amp; Accountability comes into the picture”. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;6 War at the UN Human rights in 2009&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;While the physical war was happening in north of SL, two other wars were&nbsp;&nbsp; going on in UN Human rights council and in Colombo. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; When the west failed in UN Security Council, they tried again in UN human&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;rights council where there are no veto powers to anyone. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Fortunately, SL had people like Dayan Jayatilake, Rajiva Wijesinghe and&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Minister Mahinda Samarasinghe to stand up in this council and counteract&nbsp;&nbsp; their arguments and brought new resolutions to safeguard the independence&nbsp;&nbsp; and the human rights of Sri Lanka. This victory is as equal as the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;military victory in the north of Sri Lanka.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; If SL lost this battle at the UN Human Rights Council, UN would have sent&nbsp;&nbsp; a Peace Keeping Force to SL and that would have been the end of war and&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;thus created the birth of Eelam. Mahinda Rajapaksa, Mahinda Samarasinghe,&nbsp;&nbsp; etc would be blamed for the failure.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;7 Battle in Colombo. In 2009&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; As far as I am concerned, this is the most satisfying victory of the whole &nbsp;war. &nbsp; During the near end of the war, the West and LTTE Diaspora tried&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;their last trump card by sending British Foreign Minister and French&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Foreign Minister to SL, to give a life line to the LTTE and to rescue&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Prabakaran and LTTE leaders. Swedish Foreign Minister was not given the&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;visa to join British and French. It was a very tensed situation.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; This was the first time in history (after Keppetipola ) that a SL&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;politician stood up to our previous colonial masters and asked them&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; “Please do not interfere with our internal affairs”. It was the first time foreign ministers of two powerful countries came together to Sri Lanka and &nbsp;left empty handed.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What if – SL govt gave in at that moment? Prabhakaran and the LTTE would&nbsp;&nbsp; have survived and the fight would have continued for few more generations. &nbsp;Ranil, Mangala &amp; Chandrika would have taken the upper hand in local&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; politics and SL would go back to colonial days. Mahinda and the current&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;govt would have lost the power. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 8 Capture of KP &amp; War Crimes &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; If one thinks that the war with LTTE is over, they are sadly mistaken.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; LTTE Diaspora with plenty of money and resources will keep on&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;obstructing/harassing Sri Lanka in every possible sphere. Fortunately we&nbsp;&nbsp; have capable people like Defense Secretary Gotabhaya who understood what&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;was happening outside the Sri Lankan borders, initiated and coordinated&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the action to arrest the current leader of LTTE KP and brought him to SL&nbsp; &nbsp;which took everybody by surprise. From the LTTE war perspective, this is a remarkable achievement. Only the Israelis used this type of operation&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;before. Please note that SL does not have resources like Israel. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The West and LTTE Diaspora know the abilities of our defense establishment and that is why they are all out to stop this type of operations and try&nbsp;&nbsp; to accuse Defense Secretary and the other commanders (except the General&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;who was in China during the final phase of the war) on war crimes.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I have a feeling that if General wins the election with the help of West,&nbsp;&nbsp; Ranil, Chandrika, etc, he will have to obey his masters and he might&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;handover our key defense personnel to trial at the International Court of&nbsp;&nbsp; Justice on “war crimes”. You may also remember what happened to the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;personnel who used to work for the Millennium City project. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;If that happens, it will be a very very sad day for Sri Lanka, we may not&nbsp;&nbsp; only lose whatever we have gained during the last four years, but also SL&nbsp;&nbsp; will go back at least 60 years – back to Colonial era.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 9 Conclusions&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; From the above, one could easily see who was taking the biggest risk in&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;conducting the above war and due credit should go to the correct deserving persons and not to anyone who is just claiming it.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Recently, I read another report saying that President and Defense&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Secretary prevented General Fonseka in speaking to the press.

These are politically&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; incorrect statements.
