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.
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.
Why not merge India with USA? We love Bush.Bush loves pak? All will welcome this.We need no 123 agrement? Let us vote and see response.After all our leaders are US biased.Let us have no visa to USA. People vote for union with 2nd big democracy.All our problems will vanish.We will have free energy for agriculture too.
Read John Kerry statement on India, in Wall Street journal today, outlining India America friendship. Let C.P.I{Kaumnasht} read that and illiuminate themselves with new brave world, India is entering, hope these Kaumnasht party can read and write.
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'?
I warmly congratulate USA and India for signing the agreement which will benefit both the countries
