Gen. Sarath Fonseka's winning military strategies

A contributor to Groundviews writes on a recent presentation made by the ex-Army Commander Gen. Sarath Fonseka to Sri Lanka's key business leaders in Colombo. As Concerned Citizen notes,

The complex planning and strategizing described by him that went into winning the war was indeed awesome. He was the chief architect responsible for strategy, restructure, and implementation of the entire war. The small group guerilla tactics of’ ’search and kill’ in contrast to conventional battles for territorial conquests was the major deviation from previous war strategies. The strategy was implemented with clinical precision and thus effective in achieving a kill rate that stealthily and steadily destroyed the enemy despite no major show of grand battle successes.

However, Concerned Citizen asks towards the end of the article,

Isn’t the business community purely towing the government’s line in order to safe guard their business empires to the detriment of national interests by inviting the most inappropriate strategist to counsel them?
