More lies from Lanka
In “news” from the failed state of Sri Lanka, a certain H. L. D. Mahindapala at an “online newspaper” known as the Asian Tribune bleats:
He said: “Norway will present no new mediation or peace initiative in the Sri Lanka conflict.”
This act is compared to the pilot jumping off the plane in mid air. Analysts state that this could lead to a deepening of the crisis. Analysts also agree that this is an admission of Norwegian failure in peace-building after being engaged in it for over six years.
The Asian Tribune, which I refuse to dignify with a link, is perhaps the most dishonest online publication I’ve yet encountered in twelve years on the Internet. Basically a shrill propaganda outlet for Sinhala extremism of the absolutely crudest kind, it has shied away from nothing to undermine the peace process by constant bitching about Norway being “biased” toward the LTTE. Not content with accusing the peace broker of ulterior motives too lame to repeat, it has insinuated that the Norwegian peace envoys have masterminded terrorist attacks to boost their importance.
The evidence? “Analysts state,” “analysts agree,” “analysts note.” These are the Asian Tribune’s euphemisms for “we have pulled this out of our rectums, aren’t we great?”
No, you are shameless hacks. If the “pilot” has indeeed left the “plane” — and at this point I only wish that were the case — rest assured that Asian Tribune helped push him out. Now, as the aircraft is tailspinning to the ground, it scolds him for having been so ejected.
Oy, that’s rich.
PS. The aforementioned H. L. D. Mahindapala won’t be affected by the civil war. He’s an expat in Australia.
