The details about the deal dont show any clear benefits for the US, except for a strategic partnership with India, Bush cant be this interested in the deal unless there was something really good for the US. Talking about strategic partnership with the US, it is a double edged sword, one hand you will get new technology and your economy would be better off with the US, other hand your status becomes that of Pakistan, reason is India cant be Israel or UK or Japan because we are not powerful enough economically to influence the American economy. This deal has been kept very much hidden from the public eye so people fear it might result India becoming a dog of the US, though a much better breed than pakistan.
