on reading dr rice's release in washington post about the indo-US nuclear pact i couldnt but help think is in wouldve been what was running in her mind (marked bold and italics)pl note this is just a parody and you dont have to let the CIA know

The week before last President Bush concluded a historic agreement on civilian nuclear cooperation with India, a rising democratic power in a dynamic Asia, which he suddenly realised when he went to teach kids geography lessons for photo-shoot opportunities.This agreement is a strategic achievement: It will strengthen our security. It will enhance energy security and environmental protection for the US. It will foster economic and technological development for noone. And it will help transform the partnership between the world's oldest and the world's largest democracy. Well, i say we are the worlds oldest democracy cos we dont count the brits who are sychophants and the french who are traitors or switzerland or iceland who are watch makers and icemakers respectively
First, our agreement with India will make our future more secure, by expanding the reach of the international nonproliferation regime. The International Atomic Energy Agency would gain access to India's civilian nuclear program that it currently does not have. Recognizing this, the IAEA's director general, Mohamed ElBaradei, has joined leaders in France and the United Kingdom to welcome our agreement. He called it "a milestone, timely for ongoing efforts to consolidate the non-proliferation regime, combat nuclear terrorism and strengthen nuclear safety." in other words the inspectors get to go to india on a free trip and try some of the vada pav that they say is pretty good to taste and will sign papers that are delivered to them when they go to agra and and hopefully they will state what are civilian nuclear stations. inspection of nuclear sites is anyhow such a vague subject. remember how all thoe weapons of mass destruction we thought were there in iraq got carried away by ghosts??

Our agreement with India is unique because India is unique. India is a democracy, where citizens of many ethnicities and faiths cooperate in peace and freedom. India's civilian government functions transparently and accountably(the politicians are transparently corrupt too unlike the japs). It is fighting terrorism and extremism(read pakistan), and it has a 30-year record of responsible behavior on nonproliferation matters. actually 18 is a legal age in most of the states in the US but we waited for another 12 yrs cos we didn't know where india was situated. only during the last few years due to our exposure to indian call centers while paying the electricity bill for the white house we came to know more about it"
Aspiring proliferators such as North Korea or Iran may seek to draw connections between themselves and India, but their rhetoric rings hollow. Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism that has violated its own commitments and is defying the international community's efforts to contain its nuclear ambitions. North Korea, the least transparent country in the world, threatens its neighbors and proliferates weapons. There is simply no comparison between the Iranian or North Korean regimes and India. We are not mentioning here about the pakis cos our president is going there next. We will also act as if we are not worried about minor states of erstwhile USSR who dont even have a clue whats in a nuclear submarine and are selling them in the black market

The world has known for some time that India has nuclear weapons, but our agreement will not enhance its capacity to make more. Under the agreement, India will separate its civilian and military nuclear programs for the first time. It will place two-thirds of its existing reactors, and about 65 percent of its generating power, under permanent safeguards, with international verification -- again, for the first time ever. This same transparent oversight will also apply to all of India's future civilian reactors, both thermal and breeder. Our sale of nuclear material or technology would benefit only India's civilian reactors, which would also be eligible for international cooperation from the Nuclear Suppliers Group. "Of course it benefits the big companies in the US who are going to be the sellers of the technology and we will keep away the french traitors and the russians who would anyhow sell it to the indians. Its a pity we missed 30 yrs of sales but not anymore"

Second, our agreement is good for energy security. India, a nation of a billion people, has a massive appetite for energy to meet its growing development needs.(read money) Civilian nuclear energy will make it less reliant on unstable sources of oil and gas we need the oil for ourselves to run our huge hummvies and if the indians start running autorickshaws on it it will be a disaster. we rather have the indians use the more expensive nuclear power and we hope they will buy the reason that it is a long term solution. Our agreement will allow India to contribute to and share in the advanced technology that is needed for the future development of nuclear energy. we might even outsource the work at nuclear plants in the US to indians. And because nuclear energy is cleaner than fossil fuels(when it is used in developing countries only), our agreement will also benefit the environment. A threefold increase in Indian nuclear capacity by 2015 would reduce India's projected annual CO2emissions by more than 170 million tons, about the current total emissions of the Netherlands. I hope you dont get on the net and google the fact that the plants in the United states in 2004 had emitted 5802 Million metric tonnes of Co2 alone. india had contributed about 1024 MMT which itself is slightly greater that central and south america and much more than the whole of africa. only china stands between the US and India at 3000 odd MMT of emissions

Third, our agreement is good for American jobs, because it opens the door to civilian nuclear trade and cooperation between our nations. India plans to import eight nuclear reactors by 2012. If U.S. companies win just two of those reactor contracts, it will mean thousands of new jobs for American workers. We plan to expand our civilian nuclear partnership to research and development, drawing on India's technological expertise to promote a global renaissance in safe and clean nuclear power. imagine all those call centre jobs you sent away to India we will get them back with higher paying jobs Finally, our civilian nuclear agreement is an essential step toward our goal of transforming America's partnership with India. For too long during the past century, differences over domestic policies and international purposes(the commies in india and the global commies called USSR) kept India and the United States estranged (sounds a bit mushy doest it??). But with the end of the Cold War, the rise of the global economy and changing demographics in both of our countries, new opportunities have arisen for a partnership between our two great democracies. As President Bush said in New Delhi this month, "India in the 21st century is a natural partner of the United States because we are brothers in the cause of human liberty."

Under the president's leadership, we are beginning to realize the full promise of our relationship with India, in fields as diverse as agriculture and health, commerce and defense, science and technology, and education and exchange. Over 65,000 Americans live in India, attracted by its growing economy and the richness of its culture. There are more than 2 million people of Indian origin in the United States, many of whom are U.S. citizens. More Indians study in our universities than students from any other nation. Our civilian nuclear agreement is a critical contribution to the stronger, more enduring partnership that we are building$$$ and qualified workforce

We are consulting extensively with Congress as we seek to amend the laws needed to implement the agreement. This is an opportunity that should not be missed. Looking back decades from now, we will recognize this moment as the time when America invested the strategic capital needed to recast its relationship with India. As the nations of Asia continue their dramatic rise in a rapidly changing region, a thriving, democratic India will be a pillar of Asia's progress, shaping its development for decades. This is a future that America wants to share with India, and there is not a moment to lose. we also need to go to pakistan and not offer them any treats for being bad boys and because mushy boy is somehow managing the show there we will not rip them off our list yet. we need to make sure we have bagged india and wait till pakistan goes to china and gets its weapons and then therefore raise the tension in the south asian region and whats better than tagging 1.1 billon ppl to 1.3 billon ppl imagine the consequences if the indians and the chinese got to gether
