Sarath Fonseka’s Dog

Sarath Fonseka’s dog is a big dalmation. He’s caged now, in the front garden of the family’s rented house on Queen’s Road. Anoma Fonseka is holding a press con, saying there’s no men in the house. Her daughters are abroad. She’s concerned for her husband’s health as he languishes in jail. I try to get close to the dog but he barks at me. From a distance watch. He naps. He plays with a rock. It’s a large, heavy rock, but he plays with it anyways. I wonder if he misses his obdurate master.
This is not a political post, despite being election day. I was just thinking about the dog. At Mrs. Fonseka’s press con she didn’t talk about politics much, just work she had been trying to do with Army families and her husband’s conditions. People make fun of Fonseka for requesting A/C in custody, but it’s hot out. He lost half his guts to the war and his freedom to politics. His wife is just asking for better conditions. Not even a vote. That’s where we’re at, in a ways. It’s hot out there, I understand. That’s just the weather. All one can ask for is a little A/C.

its a shame :(
It’s a absolute shame indeed! Real heartless asses!
I feel really sorry for the dalmatian.
I don’t know what will happen today. I mean if the goons get 2/3rd, we’ll no we are screwed properly! Everyone will know it was rigged but whats the use, we voice it out, a white van will be sent, we’ll be missing in no time!
Very sad, very sickening time for Sri Lnka!
good post!
Cheers!
Most people in SL don’t have ACs, why the ef is Fonseka so special? It’s funny how anoma tries to make out as if not having an AC is a violation of his basic human rights.
It is kind of bad for anyone to be in this position. But what goes around comes around. Don’t think he was a kind officer when he was in command & so many Tamils got tortured, abducted & killed, I am sure he had something to with white van abductions too.
But what makes me sad is that he was turning into be a better person (thanks to politics) and that is when the past came to haunt him!….”As you sow so shall you reap”
True… he massacred and butchered Tamils and now is complaining and whining and wanting an AC because it is too hot… what a laugh.
any evidence of this genocide?
hehe…You joker!
No, show me you evidence. Otherwise, stop this nonsense. If you claim that ethnic genocide took place in this county there should be evidence of this. Where is this evidence?
what kind of evidence do you want to see? Wake up dodo…Haven’t you read news in the last few months? By news, I menant independant unsensored news & not lanka defence.net. Even some Sinhala news papers published it & anyone who lives in reality will know that this happened. I suggest you go and speak to the people in the country (not only Tamils but also real genuine Sinhalese)…then they will tell you!
Bah, this news that news, rhetoric without substance. Where is evidence once again? just like in Bosnia, you can’t hide a genocide from the eyes is the sky.
If you have problems with your lungs and chest, then access to an AC when it is hot means a lot for his respiration, sitting in a small hot room as he does. It must be a nightmare to not getting down oxygen enough.
If you donĀ“t understand this you are a very cold hearted creature indeed…
I agree, it’s plain petty not to give him a A/C. But SF is also being bit of a drama queen here.
Please explain to me how access to an AC helps someone with problems of the lung and chest? If aything, if one has crappy lungs one would want to AVOID air conditioning lest one get pneumonia (esp Legionnaire’s disease). Room temperature air is actually the PHYSIOLOGICAL normal by which the body works. Don’t be a retard with retard arguments.
Oh the Dodo strikes again! No genocide, drama queens, bah humbug.
Must be all that heat but some of us remember that the reason why Sarath was put into jail was because he was going to present evidence about genocide against the Tamils. Remember that Dodo? Sarath was prepared to talk.
Unless he is killed, he can still talk. He’s a vain man and sure he had a loathing for the LTTE but he still decided that it’s time to move on. That he should do the right thing and expose the Sri Lankan Government.
The bottom line is, what he knows, his wife knows, his daughters know, his nephew in Australia knows. This is the gambit. If anything happens to Sarath, they will talk.
While Indi plays at being a journalist, the real issues are swept under the carpet and Dodo along with a few other crawlers (Jack Point etc) go round and round in circles with their big heads stuck deep down a stinky black hole.
At the end of the day, this is what is wrong with Sri Lanka. Not Mahinda Rajapakse. It’s this bunch of lower middle class spoilt little mummy’s boys who have nothing to contribute (for example none of them ever joined the army) and nothing to offer (for example none of them have become politicians and lead the charge for democracy).
So there in the dolldrums sits Sri Lanka. Hookers, child molesters, diminishing figures with the garment trade, the stain of Tamil blood and genocide.
Have you tin pot election, you know who’s going to win, either way it won’t be Sri Lankans.
Shame, shame what you arrogant pricks are allowing to happen to Sri LAnka. When you grow old and grey and join Sarath behind bars, know that it will be too late and that Sri Lanka is changing for the worse and forever.
I seriously think you should do something about your diarrhea, it’s seriously unbecoming since most of your rectal spasms make zero sense.
Do you have any idea what Sarath was going to say? And you are a moron if you think family’s testimony amounts to anything.
@twoheaded.. What about child soldiers, bombing buses, shooting down 141 civilians in Anuradhapura, murdering monks in Aranthalava? Have you ever spoken against those BLOODY CRIMES? I’m just curious… I think Fonseka tried to do the right thing for wrong reasons. He just wanted to get more votes… But if war crimes truly happened, as I’ve said countless times before, the culprits should be appropriately punished. One of the reasons there are those unsubstantiated genocide charges against us I think is exactly because we haven’t probed into those war crimes allegations. We don’t need Ban Ki Moons or Milibands to do that.
Yep I have LeapFrog. I say that anyone who has committed a war crime should be brought to trial and should pay compensation for what they did. Not by being killed or genocide but by proper judicial process. In fact I hope that despite the brainless twits like you we will actually get to that process where those who have suffered as a result of suicide bombing by the LTTE will receive compensation. Not Mahinda, not you but those that actuallyh lost someone. Same with child soldiers.
As for the evidence, well we know that you know that we know that you know that you think that Mahinda is very clever in hiding it all. But you can’t.
Don’t think Fony is Phoney. He didn’t need to stick his head out for a few votes. As I said he’s a vain arrogant man. He did it because he probably couldn’t stomach all the killing that you sat on your big fat kottu arse and did sweet f-all about. He felt guilty. Allow him a moment of redemption and take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Fony has had real military training. Not training how to rape women and act like a thug.
How sickening is it to think that you are going to inherit Sri Lanka.
@twoheaded… And have you been this passionate about it? Have you ever said, crush those murderous LTTE bastards while the war was going on. Just curious… About Fonseka. What do you think about him taking back what he said about war crimes? How do you explain that? You know what, putting some grey matter into your otherwise empty two heads won’t do you any harm.
Fonseka is a war criminal. He should be hanged.
Yawn.
Oh Blacker – put us out of our misery then – go to sleep and stop leaving your inane comments on this blog.
Each of your two heads can kiss each of my butt cheeks :D
I think the government should reconcile with Fonny. It seems like he’s not going to go commando any longer and there is very little to be gained by keeping him lock up for any longer. Unless of course the damn fool decides to go bonkers again
I think Gota will keep him in jail till he loses his Parliamentary seat at least
How does that work? I thought he would be free to attend the parliament by law
LAW .. what in Sri Lanka? Good God – you are such a dimwit.
