| Message | We filed this bill in response to the Ligat stolen bioweapons scandal, but it also reflects out long-held beliefs on the subject. |
| Date | 16:16:27, December 16, 2007 CET | From | Beiteynuan Pan-Majatran Ba'th Party | To | Debating the Biological and Chemical Weapons Disarmament Act |
| Message | If we are going to stop purchasing, producing and/or storing any biological/chemical weaponry, how are we supposed to use them as self-defence, if another nation uses them first. That's quite a contradictory. This preposterous bill should not pass! |
