Zaid Hamid Alerts: The French-German Tussle in Pakistan
The French-German Tussle in Pakistan
Ahmed Quraishi, Zaid Hamid
July 28, 2009
I have received this urgent alert from Mr. Zaid Hamid, the renowned Pakistani security analyst, regarding the Franco-German diplomatic tussle over selling submarines to Pakistan. The government of Mr. Asif Ali Zardari wants to buy the French subs, mainly because the French pay heavy commission/bribes. The German subs are more effective. The Pakistani military appears to have chosen the German subs. But the dollar-hungry government of President Zardari wants to oblige his old friend Nicholas Sarkozy. Obviously the kickbacks will be received by a group of Pakistani and French officials.
Here’s Mr. Hamid’s alert:

“The French and the Indians are using extreme pressure, bribes and diplomacy with the Pakistani government and the Pakistan Naval Headquarters to block and cancel the German submarine deal. The French want to sell their subs and the Indians are scared of the German platform and technology. Someone powerful in the government is selling the nation’s honor as we write. Someone please act immediately.”
Interestingly, the deal with the German government was almost sealed when the Zardari government began contacts with the French government to sabotage the German deal. Shamefully for Pakistan, the government of Angela Merkel actually went the extra mile and even pacified the opposition in her country to the deal with Pakistan. Now the Germans are waiting for Pakistan’s Ministry of Defense to simply issue a purchase order. This hasn’t come.

Every person doth his business best. Govt knows well about pros and cons of this deal. Zahid Hamid is a well known analyst but unfortunately he is unaware of the fact that Pakistan has much strong strategic ties with France compared to Germany. Every bird likes his own nest, so we should be sure that a democratic Govt will do the best for this country.
by the way german subs are way advane than french garbage and Mr zaid Hamid is 100% right.
I think we should buy the latest Indian Nuclear Submarine.
So sohail if Pakistan buys this Indian nuclear submarine in that case zardari get more commission as compared to France have your say.
