Was this the secret agreement to surrender our resources to India if it helped defeat LTTE?

Patriotic....????
It is already sold to India before excavation.

I totally agree with you. See what happen in Iran, Venezuela, Sudan, Kazakhstan and many other oil rich countries. The common people would never have anything from this richness.

You all wasting time on slinging mud. You can do a full scale investigation once you get into power.
Samanalaya Friday, 11 February 2011 06:28 AM
Wow. We all will be rich or only few people

Now the testing has done with new machinery. They are more powerful than the machines in 60s. :P

Even if oil is found by any chance, it will be exploited by India.
I Hussein Friday, 11 February 2011 05:37 AM
............and India cant dig wells properly. I wonder how they going to explore while there are some expert counties for the purpose.
Dont we screw up everything?
I Hussein Friday, 11 February 2011 05:33 AM
Dont be so optimistic with anticipated oil wealth. If mismanaged it, we will be like Nigeria & Indonesia - two oil rich countries.
But ofcourse the 'rulers' will fly high.

oil is soon obsolete propeller energy. hope they don't screw up the marine life like in the gulf coast, US. Cairns India should be sent back home. development of a nation is really when zero point energy propeller systems are innovated n implemented. free energy means free life, no carbon. no pollution. no poverty. check out Orion project to learn more. God save beautiful SL.

We did test for oil in the 60s and there was no oil. What are the chances of finding oil this time?
Wara Friday, 11 February 2011 04:51 AM
Very good news. Hope we could get petrol at cheaper rate after July.
