Gen.Fonseka shoots himself on the knee right royally
by Kusal Perera

Gen SF argued that all political leaders who were in power before President MR also wanted to win the war, but failed as the army was not led properly.
Gen SF therefore always claimed he is the war hero and he alone was responsible in defeating the LTTE and eliminating the LTTE leadership. (Others including the media contributed little bits from here and there, he said lately)
Gen SF thereafter tells Sunday Leader (SL), he was not provided with all ground information during the last 2 - 3 days of the final battle.
Gen SF also says, Def Sec Gota was giving direct orders to field commanders and thus ordered the killing of surrendering LTTE leaders just 2 days before the war was declared over.
Gen SF later backtracks on that statement and says he is misquoted, but does not formally ask for a correction from SL news paper.
Gen SF thereafter says he was responsible for all what the field commanders did during the entire war and they did not violate any international law.

What conclusions can there be, on these SF media operations ?

1. He wants the Sinhala voter to side him as a war hero
2. He wants the Tamil voter to believe he did not kill LTTE leaders
3. He wants IC to know Violation of intl law was not his, but Gota's
4. He is a great betrayer - remember, to date, no one who took part in the summary killings of Wijeweera and Gamanayake ever talks of it, betraying others.
