Bushwhacked: Why the nuclear deal is (still) a bad idea

It's been a month since the Bush show made its way to India to rave reviews all around. However, despite all the fine sentiments expressed and the strained bonhomie on display, it is foolish to be taken in by this new-found 'Hindi-Yankee Bhai Bhai' that seems to have infected even normally sober strategic analysts.

The very first issue is the time it has taken Bush to visit India. He is a lame duck, at the fag end of his career, embattled and faced with Congressional elections wherein the Republicans will almost certainly lose the House of Representatives and perhaps even the Senate. He has become so unpopular that he wasn't even able to ram through the Dubai Port World deal.

At this late stage, Bush simply doesn't have the political capital to push through the nuclear deal -- despite the fact that it is overwhelmingly one-sided and accomplishes through the back door a total crippling of India's deterrent capability -- just because his is a sinking star.
