    Dissidents in the ruling Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) seem to be heading for isolation, given the manifest lack of support for their cause, especially within the party. The three dissidents, Mangala Samaraweera, Anura Bandaranaike and Sripathi Sooriyarachchi, who were sacked from the Council of Ministers by President Mahinda Rajapaksa last week, have been unable to hold a press conference to date.

This is necessary for a leader. He should remove all obstacles on his way and make his team highly efficient, pro-active, no after thoughts.  So Mahinda, HE the President has done what should be done as a leader. This should be extended to all sectors of Sri Lanka as soon as possible, then Sri Lanka with her Smart Expert work force, abundant resources will achieve great heights.

No surprises at all., all these three fat loosers can do now is goto the biggest jonah of SL politics RW and get refuge there.

I wonder ppl like SB, RK etc., will willing to take these loosers as they will not come to power for the next 20 years with these kind of
opportunists.

Mahinda seems to be a good leader with strong motives & he shows who's the boss,thats good,Its difficult to dance to everybody's tunes.Sri Lankan Politicians are corrupted bunch of profound genius,hope Mahinda could change them (IF HE BECOME THE SAME ,GOD HELP US) but i expect he will not change in to power seeking person like chandrika or Premadasa

The one who over estimated his self importance in this group was the biggest or shall we say largest loser.  I bet if the President offers him a ministry to support his ostentatious lifestyle and give him perks and a free house he will be back in the fold by tomorrow. I bet he is drowning his sorrows now for being arrogant.  "Clowns" or "Hellish"  the moment he is offered some perks the man that the Sunday Leader UNP propagandist Lasantha Wickremetunge calls "clown prince" will be back.  RW will probably not want him back because there is no loyalty but to himself.

Actually politically Mangala and Sripathi are bigger losses to MR.

He had to be a decisive leader and protect his flanks.  That is why he did what he did.  Kumaratunge keeps plotting and lying to get back in to power politics; and it is most likely her brother was manipulated by someone to attack Mahinda in Parliament.  AB is said to be an honest man but easily manipulated for his emotions.  

Mahinda R must feel angry at the way his predecessor and her brother undermined him and secretly worked to get RW elected.  It was only VP who prevented RW from winning because VP thought he can fool MR and get international help for their cause.

VP, AB and others all overplayed their hand with a man who does not play games or lie or manipulate people like his predecessors.

Time for everyone to support the war against terror coupled with a peace deal so that sinhala racists will not ruin it for everyone.

It was always a waste to provide security to AB, who was never, and would never be targeted by LTTE. LTTE have never killed anybody that was either worthless or who has been creating problems to the government. Anura's security should have been removed long time ago, and the resources should have been used to double the security of persons like Ananda Sangaree  who are always at the top of the LTTE terrorists hit list.

But, removing security from Mangala (who has gone insane, hopefully temporarily) is a bad move. What if LTTE kills him? Are we not going to lose a valuable resouce? Won't the government fall into trouble as a result?

har's above comment assumes that LTTE is the only killer in Sri Lanka.

Surely there are many more engaged in killings. With no security given to Mangala anyone can kill him and leave behind a tamil news paper or a T shirt with LTTE logo etc

Peace for Sri Lanka

Don't worry LTTE won't attack USELESS men like Mangala and Anura. Anura, you have done nothing to our country. Bandaranayake era is well over. Please go to hell as early as possible, at least that would be good for our country.

These 3 useless political animals in their fantasies is waiting to offer MR's HEAD on a platter to Sun Goat.
The patriotic citizenery in the country will join forces in any cost to avoid this and kick those .. in to the political widerness or so called siberia.

Let the Rogue Queen with a fat a*s join forces with these 3 and together disapear from our paradise isle and get refuge in one of those numerous mansions she bought from our ill gotten monies in UK, France and elsewhere.

The Banda dynasty in now history and let make a new Sri Lanka for you new generations.

Don't swell more than your finger. This is what happened to Anura, Mangala and Sripathi. Before too long they will be forgotten by the public. Life will go on, hopefully for the better.

Agree with most of what you've said here. But not sure abuot the VP's thoughts.

There are several lines of evidence to say Mahinda made a deal with VP right before the elections.  For thier part, LTTE will force the tamils to boycott the elections, and MR when elected promised three things. One of them is to , basically, hand over Karuna.  LTTE, till the last moment didnt speak out their stand on the elections, bluffing this and that, and the airport-guy had to go down to Kilinochchi to seal the deal.
Right after the elections, thanks to the dedicated military, the army flatly denied handing over Karuna, and as usual VP got pissed and started his gimmiks.

Mahinda is a strong leader. And VP though he could outsmart him- what a fool. Then, what can you expect from a 5th grade drop out who is paranoid of his own shadow-

VP, AB and others all overplayed their hand with a man who does not play games or lie or manipulate people like his predecessors.

As long as  the LTTE leadership is alive and intact, peace deal wouldn't work. Simply becuase these terrorists will kill any Tamil leader comes forward.

It seems still there are lots of mahinda hooters. It is so sad to to see that still there are people who could not see what this joker MR is doing to the country, but time will teach them a lesson. What's the point? Nobody does not seem to learn from history. The worse is yet to come.

Now three Musketeers MR, BR, and GR seem to have the SLFPers dancing to their tune. They soon have the entire country dancing to their tune. The hooters here would keep quite once these three musketeers destroyed the country, but would it make sri lanka a better place or would it reverse the destruction.

Sripathi and Mangala would have never expected that they would be treated in this manner by MR. Sripathi, Mangala and JVP made a clear looser a winner. They made a man with no qualities the sri lankan president. Altough, it is not that I am happy that Mangal and Sripathi lost their ministerial posts I believe that they deserved to be treated in this manner.

At this moment I am happy that I am not in sri lanka, otherwise I would not be able to submit posts like this. The state terrorism would make me dissappered or bring fabricated charges against me. How many people are dying in sri lanka right this moment?

I guess most of here have landed so suddenly on Sri Lankan soil like President Mahinda Rajapaksa. MR forgot the people who helped him be the "KING" of all. Mangal and Sripathi who did what ever they can to get him the crown are no longer needed since the people who did what ever they can to defeat him in the presidential election are with him. If MR can negotiate with them, why can't he negotiate with his own people. For my understanding, this show lack of peofessionalism of MR. Also, his way of developing the country (only south). He might develop the north and east to get more votes. But as far as I can see, he did nothing but increasing the number for ministerial posts to 52 during the first year of his control. Also, Anura Bandaranaike did rescue SLFP after 1977 until some people came and pushed him to join UNP. Anyway, I have nothing much to talk about him.

MR and MSirisena says they are villege people just to get the sympathy over what they did. As I know, MR is grown up in the Villege called Colombo and he was schooled at a Villege school in Colombo. These are funny stories.

Anyway, I appreciate MR for what he has done for LTTE. MR, you can be he next president regardless of what you do if you can get a solution to the LTTE problem.

Mrs Kumarathunga did the toughest part in capturing areas (I am not one of her supporters, because I believe that she destroyed sri lanka and let MR to destroy what left), but she could not win the war. This shows that nobody is going to win this war. By resorting to a military solution only thing that any body is going to achieve is destruction. East is the most easiest area to be capthured. What the people here do not know is that MR also tried to strart from Jafna and endded up loosing some 200 soldiers. Then the clever idea came why not try to capture east.

So is there anything to be appreciated.

Sri Lanka has become one of the most dangerous places to live. The worst place is Iraq. some  people still admire and appreciate MR's regime. What a pathetic situation.

It is not that VP thought that he could outsmart MR, he has already done so. No body is willing to provide us funds. Even the aid group refuses to allocate money. Human rights situation in sri lanka is getting worse and worse. International community is not willing to support us anymore. So who is going to be the winner?

Mr. Rambukwalla and the state media and the some other media try to paint  big beautiful pictures, but what people got to realise that the reality is behind those pictures. People who enjoy on temporary achievements are going to be big loosers over the long run.

oh poor AB, the world has become so cruel for you clown prince of Sri Lanka.

What will be the life without:

free boarding in the state guest house - elegent Visumpaya (Acland House) with 5 bed rooms and 6 wash rooms.
100 state provided body guards/security
fleet of 15 limousines and back up vehicles including bullet proof vehicles though wonder if anyone want to do any harm to this Jonah.
free trips all over the world with butlers and boys to have fun...
free supply of wine, woman and song by crooked businessman who wants to pay for their ill gotten money like Harry J, who was helped
       by mother B as well as the sis - the gogue queen.
