Ed Markey?
This guy, ashamedly, is my Rep. and any time he speaks out against something, it simply validates what a good idea it is.
He is an unabashed liberal who is owned by the most corrupt unions in the country.

Interesting timing. I believe that strengthening Democratic India's nuclear capability is important, being neighbors to China and Pakistan, but how can you technically argue against Iran if India isn't willing to sign onto non-proliferation itself? This almost appears to be an admission of Iranian capability, and lowering the importance of non-proliferation treaties, neither of which are good.

I liked what the President had to say about this deal today. He said that the more Nuclear reactors in India, the more fossil fuels available to Americans.
We can't build any new Nukes here, so let's outsource them to India! Brilliant!

"Bush Ushers India Into Nuclear Club"
This headline was written by the typical MSM imbecile - we can't 'usher' India into any nuclear club when they made their own way into the group of nuclear nations many years ago. Unlike Iran, N. Korea, or various other nitwit nations, India is not a threat to provide nukes to terrorists and not a threat to ever use them against us. THAT is the fundamental difference that all the chicken littles like Ed Markey cannot seem to grasp....

India's already got it, and hasn't used it. Just like Israel. Neither nation sponsors terrorism. There's a world of difference to Iran.

How can you technically argue against Iran if India isn't willing to sign onto non-proliferation itself? Besides, Iran has signed the NPT. IT is treaty-bound to not develop nukes. The treaty was signed by Iran itself.
India is not. India objected to the NPT right from day one, because it limits the number of nuclear powers to the five UN SC permanent members, China included.

Abandon nuclear weapons, China tells India "P!$$ off!" India tells China (or should, at any rate).

I really do not see that there is a direct relation between Iran and India. Vastly different societies and interaction with world affairs.
I think the President's stance makes complete sense and he has defended his position well.

India should say,
"In the matter of nuclear arms, we shall be more than pleased to follow your example China. If you wish us to disarm, lead the way."

Well, it's a fait accompli anyway. I'm glad that so far India and Pakistan have managed to not to blow up the subcontinent.
All I'm saying with regard to Iran is, hopefully the President won't be welcoming them into the Club too.

Sure, but India being awarded for bucking the system just as Iran is proposing to do now. And why isn't India willing to sign the treaty, if they have no plans to proliferate? That should be a minimum requirement for our assistance.
India and Bush could have won the day by using this opportunity to set an example, and having India sign the non proliferation treaty, and apologize for not signing it sooner. But this just puts our whole formal policy process in question, surprise anouncements like this that contradict our public policy.

NEW DELHI (AP) - Reversing decades of U.S. policy, President Bush ushered India into the world's exclusive nuclear club Thursday with a landmark agreement to share nuclear reactors, fuel and expertise with this energy-starved nation in return for its acceptance of international safeguards. This is great news!
