Manmohan Singh said India would not be bound by "extraneous" conditions attached to the deal when it was passed by the U.S. Congress this month, rejecting efforts to constrain New Delhi's policy toward Iran or its own nuclear weapons program.
...
"India will find it difficult to and cannot accept any such conditions beyond those already agreed to in the understandings with the United States," he told parliament in a debate.
...
Singh said the law reflected India's arrival on the world stage "as a power to be reckoned with."
...
Experts say India has already produced about 50 nuclear weapons and plans to reach up to 400 in a decade. Many fear selling India fuel for civilian energy use will free up New Delhi's indigenous uranium stocks for weapons.
Hmm... I was also saying that India already had enough resources to handle their civilian energy problem themselves, if they weren't so busy diverting it to weapons use. Now, we've just made that more feasable.
