New Peacekeeper Commitment?

A British military team were visiting Jaffna in Sri Lanka to assess the security situation. Was it a possible prelude to the deployment of international peacekeepers (including British soldiers) in order to allow Blair to bask in the glow of the Gladstonian sun?

Tamilnet also said that Sri Lankan tactics, based upon British counter-insurgency, methods failed. I don't see them celebrating their independence, do you?
