People are saying Kalam approved of this deal. He is a scientist not a military strategist or a power specialst. Has one retired army general approved of this deal? Speak to the Army and its implications on defense strategy.

Mr. Suraj, It would be better for you to understand what Indo-US nuclear deal is, before giving your opinion. What you are saying is not fitted to support the debate you want to put. Indo-US nuclear deal is an essential energy security option for the long run.

The Nuke deal in question is of civilian nature, not meant for military use.

Myth #14: The deal is not primarily about making money; it is about creating a new U.S. strategic relationship in south Asia.
Fact: The deal is primarily about making money. The main effect of the deal will be to pardon India – to remove it as a violator of international norms. After such a change in status, there will be no impediment to U.S. arms sales. This is where the real money is, not in nuclear reactors. U.S. exporters have mentioned selling as much as $1.4 billion worth of Boeing airliners, hundreds of F-16 or F/A-18 fighter jets, as well as maritime surveillance planes, advanced radar, helicopters, missile defense and other equipment. The Russian press has even complained that the nuclear deal is a ploy to squeeze Russia out of the Indian arms market.

Dude - I replied to your above message yesterday. See below. Please stop spaming the message board.
"They way china is growing and as more an more people there own cars, the energy crises world over is only gonna get worse. If oil prices grow so will inflation and if inflation grows as its is doing now, then forgot about the india shining story. Get ready to beg. Nuclear deal over the years will help India to loosen itself from a future energy crsises.

Dear Sooraj, Dr. Kalam's brain is surely above an average Indian Citizen/Defence Person; especially in Science.

In science not strategic military affairs. If he was he would be a Field Marshal.
