fools dare where angels fear to tread by Dr.G.G.Rajan on 09 Oct 2008

Indo-US nuclear deal:US strategy in this deal is to expose how foolish the present Govt is and upto extent they will be cowed down. It is certain the contents of the deal will not be in black and white and many cocditions will be implicit and above all UPA Govt's leadership failure will be exposed.

Back Room Deals by Anon on 09 Oct 2008

Will Bush have signed the deal by then? I dont think so....Think there is a back room deal worked out between Singh and Bush. Singh knows that if Bush were to give the signing statement, it will not be politically possible for indian to sign the deal. Bush has to give a signing statement with some anti india stuff because that is what it took to pass it through the US legislature. It will be interesting to see how much of Indian interests Singh has given away.

Indo-US nuke deal to be signed on Friday: Sources by suresh sheth on 08 Oct 2008

After having refused to sign on n-deal during Secretary Rice’s visit despite ‘getting India to sign it’ was the sole purpose of her visit, Singh government should not underestimate Bush administration’s capacity to fool India by not giving entire or correct ‘signing statement declaration’ either. There may be even two signing statements – one given to India to satisfy her and one deposited in US government records with ‘top secret label’ to satisfy US Congress.And what happens if Bush’s signing statement does not include what India is looking for? What happens if signing statement declares that ‘US will work hard at next NSG meeting in November to ban export of enrichment and nuclear reprocessing technology by NSG members to India’ as promised by Secretary Rice to Howard Berman? What happens if signing statement ties 123 agreement to Hyde act? What happens if signing statement declares that 'US will cut off nuclear trade with India if India conducts a nuclear test'?
