“We are giving India a one-of-a-kind deal that no one else gets: civilian nuclear technology and no cap on the number of bombs they can build. The least we can do is ask them to cut off their military ties with the biggest state sponsor of terrorism--Iran. Iran is building the IEDs that are killing our soldiers in Iraq. The least we can do is ask the President to certify that they have cut off military-to-military relationships with Iran. Why is it important? Look at this Defense News: ``Indian Navy Trains Iranian Sailors.'' We know they have these ties. If we really believe we are doing something good, we should at least expect India to cut off military ties with the leading state sponsor of terrorism--Iran. I urge an ``aye'' vote.”
