Pakistan will ‘fall’ if France leaves Afghanistan: Sarkozy

* French president rules out talks with Taliban, Hamas and Iran

PARIS: Pakistan will fall like a house of cards if France abandons the Afghan government, French President Nicolas Sarkozy told a primetime television show.

“Next to Afghanistan there is Pakistan, there is an atomic bomb,” he said on Thursday. “If we let Afghanistan fall, Pakistan will fall like a house of cards.”

Sarkozy earlier this month announced that France would send another 700 troops to Afghanistan while stressing: “This is not a war, as the immense majority of Afghans need the coalition that is there.”

The move signals a tough stance on some of the world’s trouble spots.

Sarkozy has said that he would not hold talks with the Taliban in Afghanistan, Hamas in the Palestinian territories and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Sarkozy rejected calls from some quarters for dialogue with the Taliban, who have fought back against international forces since they were forced to leave power in late 2001.

Sarkozy had a similar message for the Hamas leadership and Iranian President. “There are a minimum of principles in our diplomacy,” the French leader declared.

What the bloody hell? I think he is potentially unaware of pakistan's capabilities, afghanistan has always been a fallen state nothing new and we unfourtantely have a border with these no good thugs and we came this far.
I just wonder how can people come up with such remarks, how can sending 700 more troops help pakistan from getting fallen. What bloody nonsense.

 

[sajan]

I have a doubt...
why most of the western contries and some in the east aswell always have -ve comments about pakistan. Why do everyone make alliance with Pakistan for their benifit and dump them after their use..? Is that beause of the policy of Gov in Pakistan ? Why there are not like this towards India? I mean i never see anyone saying that India is a failed state and it will fall or collapse into pieces if such and such country was not there....

Actually after the sad demise (removal from office due to his pro US policies) of Tony Blair, the US needed another His Master's Voice (hope u remember the old gramophone records). Mr. Sar Kozy is actually fulfilling that role and probably getting a lot of US aid. Let it be. dogs bark but Caravans go on.

I wonder why USAF just gave the $40 billion tanker contract to France-based EADS instead of Boeing.
