Of course they will ! This was the plan all along..
After GOSL exercising it's good offices with Karuna faction, after Karuna declares a unilateral ceasefire..

LTTE is not serious about any talks.. all they do is buy time.

On the bright side, this cycle can continue for the next 50 years.

This LTTE behaviour was predicted on the day they agreed to Geneva talks.
They agreed to talk due to IC pressure and followed our good friend Solheim's advice after tasting some tight slaps across the face from IC, specially US.

Recently LTTE's operating strategy has become something like Jayasuriya's batting plan. Predictable, most of the time.

GOSL will not be able to disarm Karuna even if they wanted to.  So the LTTE should consider helping by supplying GOSL with weapons, money, cement etc etc. to fight their common foe.  Who knows, GOSL may even get some of their own guns back.

Always its the fault of the tamils.
Tigers decide on their own. They dont tell somethink today and change it tomarrow like the Gov
frm Asia to Geneva. If the tigers dont want to go for talks then they have the guts to says that.
We all very well know this talks are going to fail.Simply Gov wont be able to agree to the HZS.
So breach of agreement go to war is the next step
my dear friends. talk sences it took 50 years to agree there is a problem.
Dont take another 50 years to see you cant fight the tamils and win
 before the country is dividedmake peace
 keep karuna the ghost with you. He is full of surprises when he reads the paper every day about him being in action whiile he is under guard. Only his name is usefull not his skills for the south.

While LTTE continue elimination of opponents, if GOSL asks Karuna to disarm without guranteeing the safety of opponents, not by GOSL but by LTTE, it will be stupid. It is like issuing a license to kill  by LTTE. It will be worse than tha present CFA.

Not Tamilians... LTTE.

Of course they "say something today" and "change it tomorrow".... what else do you think this latest thing is anyway ?
So if you know the talks will fail, why do you imagine the LTTE said they would go to Geneva ? Might it be that they were pulling everyones collective leg and had no intentions of going at all ?

Karuna's name certainly seems to be useful.... everytime the LTTE hears it, they seem to start itching.

ltte is bit scared of peace because of several resons. becase prabakaran is not even safe in peaceful enviornment.
1,he could b targeted by the RAW indian becas of rajiv case
2.he could b targeted by the military intelliegense
3.he could b targeted by the karuna fraction
4. he could b targeted by  even CIA

i think these r the things that main problem ltte faces. i think even they cant choose war becas pressure from norway, europe.it is very difficult to understand the ltte s future plans. may b only vp knows.

Why on earth GOSL can't disarm karuna. If GOSL really want the PEACE, why can't they do this according ot the CFA, as they agreed 4 years ago.

He is the one wanted the war (next to JVP). If there is no war, no one needs him.

He did all recent mess to drag the tigers to war
    1. He wanted to alive with the war
    2. He is planning to declare a party with the support of RAW and Indian govt.
    3. He has in his hands at the recent colombo bombs, TRO abductions
    4. Mangala and JVP are giving Karuna full support. Even MR can't do anything on this.

LTTE needs time?? - a joke. As militery experts says, GOSL buys the time and if GOSL drags the talks for 2 more years, LTTE will loose their fighting ability, RW planned for that and did it. Now MR wants that to do, not LTTE.

"Peace talks" should involve the use of a few 'daisy cutters' in the NE. And the tamil problem will be gone by lunch time!

Karuna was part of the LTTE four years ago. If as you say, the CFA deemed that Karuna should have been disarmed, then what you are saying is that the LTTE should have been disarmed four years ago. Perhaps you should complain to the Norwegians about this.

Karuna is not there with GOSL ffor 4 years. but still there were other groups which was operating since the date before CFA has signed. That is why there is a clouse in the CFA has said like that.
Has GOSL disarm any group after CFA has signed?????

What is important to understand is that GOSL is desperate to have the talks.
Whereas LTTE is not. LTTE is therefore calling the shots.

Day by day LTTE is succeeding in getting the International Community to understand GOSL's duplicity.

All you bright guys seem to be sitting in front of the computer, while GOSL consists only of a bunch of goons who are good at deceiving the electorate to get elected. They haven't got sufficent grey matter to outwit LTTE.

The Tamil United Liberation Front (London) Tamil Democratic Congress, Tamil Women’s League, Sri Lanka Muslim Information Centre, the Committee for Democracy and Justice in Sri Lanka and the Sri Lanka Democracy Forum, have come together to form the Tamil Forum for Peace.  We are a coalition that is campaigning for peace, and a permanent political solution in a democratic frame work, a solution that is acceptable to all three communities and accords justice and protection to the Tamil and Muslim minorities.  We will campaign for human rights to become a central issue in the coming talks and for it to be enshrined in any political constitutional solution that is achieved.
 
The deteriorating security situation in Sri Lanka brought us together to form this coalition, to campaign for the end of political killings, child soldier abductions, extortion rackets and a slide into another brutal civil war between the Government of Sri Lankaand the LTTE.  Even though the two parties have now agreed to meet for talks there is much that is uncertain.
 
We invite you to attend the meeting to express your solidarity with the peoples of Sri Lanka, particularly the Tamil and Muslim communities that have suffered the ravages of two decades of war.
