Disaster; he should be given free supplies of sticking tape to keep his mouth shut.
We already have the white flag case which tarnished the image of our valiant soldiers. When he comes out we will have the ‘red amudey’ case if he doesn’t keep his mouth shut. The sticking tape will help.
Are we just dump to presume that Sarath Fonseka will go on talking free against this government? In fact, he must have been admonished by some thugs not to involve in tarnishing the MR families or the Country’s image.
I wouldn’t be surprised…if he becomes a humble servant of MR once he’s back…
Politics…Politics….& Politics…
What a System….in a tiny island

SF victim for political issues…..he did superb job for nation – he lead the Army team with support of Presiden & Defence Ministry. We all must agreed all three forces, Presidnet and peole of Sri lanka behind this victory.
May some of you not agree with this, think always from out side the box all these kind silly & sad things were happenings. Lets work together as one nation & one family.
