RE:N-deal not prohibit testing?
by Lalatendu Deo on Aug 20, 2007 03:23 PM

I shall like to amend your posting a bit. The US says that if India tests, that country may consider stopping fuel supply. And the decision is not Automatic. The incumbent President of US will decide as to whether it would stop the supply. So both parties are interpreting rightly. This means that there is a chance that US would continue to supply fuel even if we go ahead. Which further means that they are more interested to keep on supplying the uranium than to see that India does not test the devise again even though they wish India does not go ahead. They know very well that unless it is so, India would not go ahead and sign a non performing agreement. That, this is an admittance by US of India's Policy on the matter, as for US, if they say any thing contrary, India would not sign any agreement.

Simply, the US wishes to sell the fuel and there is a huge demand here. That is the reason why Australia jumped in and told the world that they were more than interested.

The very fact that the US is negotiating for the agreement says that we are not signing on a dotted line.
