Robert Einhorn India Quotations

Basically the nuclear establishment of India dug in its heels, Prime Minister Singh backed them up, and the administration caved again.

This deal permits India to do much more than continue producing fissile material for weapons. It allows India to vastly increase its nuclear arsenal.

The nuclear options that India insisted on protecting in this deal cast serious doubt on its declared policy of seeking only a credible minimum deterrent.

The deal appears to give India complete freedom not just to continue but also to expand its production of fissile material for nuclear weapons. In the future, any reactor it designates as 'military' can be used for the weapons program. ... It's less clear what the U.S. got out of the deal.

India appears to have fully achieved all its negotiating objectives: importing uranium and nuclear technology, gaining recognition as a nuclear weapon state and preserving full freedom to expand its nuclear weapons capability as it sees fit.
