President Rajapakse went to the extent of avoiding telephone calls from the US State Department and the British government leaders.-Claims Editor of Island Newspaper today.

In a revealing editorial praising President Rajapakse's arrogance the editor of the Island Newspaper well known for his ascinine and sarcastic attacks on the West, as he earns his "brownie points from the Temple Trees and President's house occupied by the first family claimed today that President Rajapakse went to the extent of avoiding telephone calls from the US State Department and the British government leaders.

He also claimed that " And the real objective of his visit to Jordan, while the war was raging, was to prevent the UNSG from coming here".

Let the UN be urged to appoint a panel to probe how Norway, the US and the EU manipulated .......................

Another bravado claimed by this editor was against India " Exasperated beyond measure, he minced no words when he told the visiting Indians that even if India were to violate Sri Lanka's air space and ‘drop lentil’ again–India ......... 

If this was indeed the attitude and arrogance of President Rajapakse, and there is no doubt to dispute such shocking claims

of the editor it is no wonder 16 months after the war ended against the Tamils and the LTTE, with 40,000 Tamil civilians dead, 60,000 injured and 300,000 incarcerated no world leader want to shake the blood stained hands of President Rajapakse in garments soaked  with Tamil blood.

President Rajapakse is to meet the Iranians, Malaysia Prime Minister a country which illegally arrested K P and renditioned him to Sri Lanka, and another small Asian country while in New York. The Chancellor of Germany already refused to meet President Rajapakse in Germany, when he dropped by the country as an uninvited guest or tourist using his diplomatic passport.

Quote"  

Ranil's approach was in sharp contrast to how President Mahinda Rajapaksa handled the Co-Chairs and the other meddlesome members of the international community. The latter had the intestinal fortitude to stand his ground in the face of unbearable pressure they brought to bear on him in a bid to stop the war and rescue Prabhakaran and other LTTE leaders. He went to the extent of avoiding telephone calls from the US State Department and the British government leaders. And the real objective of his visit to Jordan, while the war was raging, was to prevent the UNSG from coming here.

When a powerful Indian delegation consisting of Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon, Indian National Security Advisor M. K. Narayanan and the then Indian High Commissioner in Colombo Alok Prasad, under pressure from Tamil Nadu, visited President Rajapaksa on April 24, 2009, and sought an immediate end to the final assault on the LTTE, he saw red. Exasperated beyond measure, he minced no words when he told the visiting Indians that even if India were to violate Sri Lanka's air space and ‘drop lentil’ again–India, which saved Prabhakaran in 1987, had done by way of a dire warning during Operation Liberation in the North––he would go the whole hog to destroy the LTTE! Had he given in to Indian pressure and suspended the war, the international allies of the LTTE would have made use of the opportunity to rescue Prabhakaran.

Let the UN be urged to appoint a panel to probe how Norway, the US and the EU manipulated the CFA to aid and abet the LTTE against a UN member State and, in the process, helped the outfit with the launching of its eelam war IV, which left thousands of people dead and about 300,000 others displaced.

A western diplomat commented that President Rajapakse's behavior reminded him of Idi Amin's era, or when President Saddam Hussein killed thousands of Kurds despite appeals of the international community. Sudan's leader is another example.

Israel's attacks on civilians with their relentless bombing in Lebanon and Gaza last year killed leass than 3,000 in the two wars compared to 40,000 Tamil civilians in a matter of weeks.
