MMS was correct
by Sandeep on Aug 08, 2008 03:17 AM

Berman is a Democrat so he will try to add clauses which cause this deal to delay.

Also, this opposition by some US politicians is clearly proving that whatever MMS had said was correct. There is no tie-up mentioned between NSG waiver and US law!

Berman has urged the Bush administration to shelve a nuclear trade deal with India unless it can guarantee compliance with a U.S. law that would suspend trade if India tested a nuclear weapon again.
Berman warned that Congress would not act before its September 26 target adjournment date unless the Bush administration pushed the NSG to attach conditions to its waiver copied from legislation Congress passed on the India deal in 2006.
Meanwhile other countries might rush in to take advantage of a more lenient NSG waiver and do business with India on their own terms, Berman warned.

Hopefully, the gullible folks who thought India had sold out to US will be pleasantly surprised by this.
