  Moduli stabilization in the type IIA massive string theory so far was
achieved only in the AdS vacua. The uplifting to dS vacua has not been
performed as yet: neither the analogs of type IIB anti-D3 brane at the tip of
the conifold, nor the appropriate D-terms have been identified. The hope was
recently expressed that the F-term uplifting may work. We investigate this
possibility in the context of a simplified version of the type IIA model
developed in hep-th/0505160 and find that the F-term does not uplift the AdS
vacua to dS vacua with positive CC. Thus it remains a challenging task to find
phenomenologically acceptable vacua in the type IIA string theory.
