The Democrats have been playing to their standard game of "criticize, undercut and second guess". Anybody who watched the debate ensuing in the House of Reps. saw that Dems were trying to work little nuances into the wording, the cumulative effect of which would be to render the Indo-US deal a useless document. There was nothing to discuss any more in the Senate, the bill could have been passed without further debate.... the House has approved the bill, the president and the Secy of State have made a commitment to India and the US Senate must prove that it is capable of standing by a solemn assurance to an ally.
