Bitter Hilary

By Nacholibre

(October 03, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Hilary Clinton first tried to throw in a life-line to the LTTE when they were facing annihilation. It came a cropper at the end. Ever since, her band at the US Department of State has been trying to vilify Sri Lanka for emerging victorious over terrorism, while her country is all messed up in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention Vietnam. Failing in all their sinister attempts to achieve their goal of victimizing SL, she now tries to sidekick us by mentioning us in her ramblings at the UN Security Council meetings. Yesterday, Hilary was reported to have said that SL, among few other countries, has used rape as a weapon in the just concluded war! Where is she coming up with all this crap from? Has she seen another JDS sponsored Channel 4 broadcast? Or is she showing her country’s desperation at not being able to manhandle Sri Lanka?

Hilary, what a ridiculous statement!

The LTTE never allowed civilians under their control to escape to government-held territory when they withdrew to fight another day. If there were any escapees, the numbers were very few, until that last exodus from Puthumattalan happened. SL forces never captured villages full of civilian occupants that were formally under the LTTE control. Well before their territory fell into the hands of the government forces, the LTTE had withdrawn taking the villagers with them as hostages. The SL security forces were sacrificing their own lives and limbs to rescue those civilians from being taken hostage by the LTTE. In such a context, how can anyone with a sane mind suggest that rape was used as a weapon to win the war here? How can you rape women in the enemy territory and expect to use it to convince them to cross over to your side?

Or does Hillary think that the security forces used rape as bait? That they crept into LTTE enemy territory and raped women so that others, too, would willingly come to the government-controlled areas en mass afterwards? Is that how Hillary suggests that SL used rape as a weapon? Reminds me of Hillary’s nightmare experience, where once President Bill Clinton baited Monica and later Monica presented Bill with a necktie!

Get over your bitterness and hatred, Hilary. For heaven’s sake, do not be confused that the grotesque nightmare images that you suffer from have got anything to do with Sri Lanka. Leave SL alone.
