The US is in damage control mode over its remark to India about how it might lose a technology deal with the US if it doesn't vote against Iran on the UN Security Council. The remark has been downgraded to a "personal opinion... taken out of context."

Like hell.

In the spin, the US still didn't completely decouple the deal from the vote, but put it in terms much less blunt than the previous statement. I'll bet India is still miffed about this arrangement and will likely request much more in order to secure its vote, or perhaps side with Russia and back their plan against the US policy.
