Fonseka: I Will Win

General Sarath Fonseka confirmed his entry into politics at a well-attended press conference yesterday. General Fonseka said he would contest the Presidential poll under the swan logo with an unnamed political party. For a novice in politics General Fonseka’s handling of the questions posed at the meeting was exceptional. He was scathing in his statements on corruption and nepotism, stating that the war victory was not the sole preserve of any one family.

He confirmed that differences with Ranil Wickremesinghe and Mangala Samaraweera were in the past – the country’s needs were paramount. Promising an open economy and vowing to abolish the Executive Presidency, General Fonseka’s pronouncements were considered to be very much “on the ball.” The General denied any involvement with the assassination of Lasantha Wickremetunge, and promised appropriate investigations once elected.

    ohhh….just forget this war victory stuff for god sake.
    War is over…thats it.
    now use the brain n elect SF which is good for the countries future.
    Lets not fall back into the MR and family BLACK HOLE.
    We had enough of MR and executive presidency, which has as almost equal power of a dictatorship.
    We dont want dictatorship, to uphold democracy, SF is our onky hope.
    concept is so simple,
    FORGET ABOUT WHO ONE THE WAR……A COMBINED EFFORT OF 300,000 ARMY MEN WON IT.

      Kugan says’ SF is our onky hope”.
      I suppose you were meant to say “SF is our DONKEY hope” .

      True that..

      SF should be making arrangements at SuperLink travels for his one way trip to the US on the 27th of January.

        i said SF is the only hope, typing error.
        i’m sure u should have figured it out.

        I’m not a great fan of SF but to chase off MR and family rule, we have only one weapon, that is SF,

    General! first you have won the war, Second you have won the opposition with your swan logo and now your got to win the third is the election. When you win please dont repeat the past mistakes done by the former leaders and try to compromise. We hope that you will make every effort to protect democracy . We want you to make a firm statement that you will protect democracy.

        UNPers, dont get fooled.If SF wins by any chance Ranil and Tilvin will lose their heads first. He has proven his ungratefullness, disloyality right from the start. He never once mentioned after how long he ‘abolish’es the EP. His fight is for himself not for anyother. He just took revenge from LTTE by carrying the orders given to him.

          Guys,
          SF or MR iss just one of the 300,000 war hero.
          forget about war victory, war is over and good.
          now we need to chase MR off, or he’d become another dictator.

    SF would have carpet bombed all tamils if not for MR.

    In the present context a “CHANGE’ is imperative. The heirachy of the present government is intoxicated with “POWER” and their eyes are veiled . The whole mechanism is in chaos. They must be sent home at any cost. The General should win and he must practice what he preach if we wishes to set an indelible print as a patriotic Politician.

    Keep to your words. Good luck to you General.

    sf will at the very least give mahinda rajapaksa the shock of his life translate that to mean that the result will be something like 52% to 47% with the rest towards the non starters. Sri Lanka is set for the moyher of all elections – with apologies to Saddam – but Mahinda Rajapaksas superior ortorial and PR skills will see him through. We must all without exception applaud rajapaksa for his attemot to free srilanka from the vestiges of military rule and to uphold democratic governance. its all upto the voters they have the trump card in their hands.
