The United States today hailed the reconciliation efforts of the Sri Lankan government in the past year as “very impressive”.
“I want to congratulate the Government of Sri Lanka for their very impressive continuing steps towards reconciliation,” Secretary of State John Kerry said in a joint media meet with Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera.
“Their efforts to try to address the regional issues, and most importantly, to make peace in their own country are very, very significant. And we really welcome you here,” Kerry said.
Samaraweera, who is in Washington to attend the US-Lanka strategic dialogue, said the relationship between the two countries has elevated recently.

Ranil is the standard bearer of what democracy is all about. In one year he has managed dilute the opposition. Now there are over 70 ministries and with the deputies amounts to about 140 portfolios and still counting. Field Marshal Fonseka is a minister of rural development. And there are more ministries in the offing like oceanography, molecular biology and human rights. Mr Kerry these cost money and what our government need is money dollars which is more than flattery. The government is in debt for the tune of 5 billion dollars and you are in a position to redeem this debt. Mr Kerry when you make this concession make it an outright grant and in return we will give you exclusive rights to trincomali harbor

Thank You Mr Kerry.
Did you agree to provide US military intervention to restore democracy in case the Yahapalana Democratic Government is overthrown by dissatisfied Army officers who are likely to face the guillotine when foreign judges find them guilty of war crimes?
Oh Kerry shut your smelly mouth and practice what you say in America.
