Singala military is in serious danger and they don't even know it! All these singala war mongers who are cheering the "victories after victories" in the east are 1/2 drunk and 1/2 mad. Rajapaksa is another singala modaya. These ppl are not understanding how endangered they are. This 'eastern onslought' can easily lead to singala nationalism's downfall. Why? Most of the tigers from the East are now in Wanni leaving behind hit and run groups in the East. Even batticoloa could fall completly - but by then most of the tigers could have gone to the Wanni. Batiicoloa and Amparai are the least stratigical places when we look at the history of this war. Mannar ha…
