Teresita Schaffer, director of the CSIS South Asia Program, was quoted by the Associated Press, "Diplomat's Departure Muddles Nuke Deal."
The departure of the State Department's No. 3 official adds uncertainty to a U.S. nuclear deal with India that is already in deep trouble. . . .
"I think he is willing to see this baby through, and I think he will pull it off," said Teresita Schaffer, a former U.S. ambassador to Sri Lanka and current director of the South Asia program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, who supports the deal. "I don't see this as any administration signal that they are giving up."
