You ARE funny..... you are ready to believe Talbot, but not the government of the day.
Why would Talbot NOT say that THIS deal is better for India, if in US's primary interests to get the deal signed SOMEHOW?... (everyone knows how anxious Bush is to get the deal... though if is so one-sidedly Anti-USA, why he is so anxious, god only knows)
I think you should give the Nobel Prize for Acting to M/s Talbot and Bush, and the Nobel Prize for gullibility to M/s Singh and Mukherjee.. The Filmfare award for best acting can go to Mukherjee for his superb acting in Singh's absence.... remember his solemn assurances about the trust vote?.. :-)
