Whose “bomb” is it anyway?
By Under Dog
Is anyone else out there in the least bit suspicious about the real origins of the bomb at Fort Railway station that did no damage when the station was mostly empty on a platform that doesn’t get used a hell of a lot? Is the LTTE honestly this bad in planning out attacks against civilians, given their bloody record in the past?
Wonder if it’s similar to the bomb that blew up a phone booth near Regal cinema several minutes after the air force commander was supposed to pass by? Hmmm…or the claymore that went off in a part of the city so heavily guarded that if you piss in any direction you’d hit the foot of either Air Force or Army personnel? Or the claymore that blew up Mr What’s-his-name, Minister of something or another?
Or the bomb in the clothing store that the bomb squad never reached forty-five minutes after they were notified, and only blew up because ninny-scissor-hands directing traffic decided to cut the blue wire in the middle of the street (it’s the red wire dammit!–doesn’t anyone watch movies anymore!?). Or the claymores that we tend to keep “finding,” so conveniently placed that the police can pick it up on their way to the office?
Honestly, I’m scared. So scared in fact I forgot all about the price of gas, if only for a moment. Didn’t you forget as well?

NIce one Under Dog! It the usual suspects who get blamed anyway for these things …you know, the striped ones, the NGO’s, Foreign diplomats, Christian missionaries….anyone not in the majority!
And hey, no one gives a toss about the ridiculous cost of living…coz…[edited out - Shami mentions someone high up in government] knows best…if its war he wants, its war he gets. Who cares about us ordinary citizens right?
You read my mind, underdog…. and at least twenty others’.
There are too many coincidences taking place these days, think you not? Like the no limit bomb going off just before certain politicos proved their point to have a defence budget passed… and a minister losing his life just before he was due to expose the baddies…
Hmmm.. food for thought…
There’s an interesting article in the Sunday Leader of 13th January 2008 in light of the article above that notes:
“Minister Fernandopulle did not mention the Supreme Court by name but referred to the ‘Aluthkade’ law and the rulings given on the security checkpoints, the arrests and search operations of houses in the night as the reason for the wave of killing.”

LTTE ‘not responsible’ for blasts – President
Earlier, a monior blast occured in front of state-owned Lake House, in the heart of the capital.
“I personally believe that the LTTE was not responsible for them. They wouldn’t risk the arrest of two cadres with just sand bombs,” he said.
