| Message | Won't have nothing=We will have something. Your argument is self-defeating. But, in seriousness, using chemical weapons or biological weapons will make our country as bad as a terrorist group. |

| Message | No, the difference is that we don't want to USE them, we just want to have them, as a visible deterrent. Terrorists WOULD use them, no matter what. |

| Message | i agree with the second proposal, and beyond, but I don't like the first so I don't think i'll support. |
| Date | 18:20:03, January 25, 2006 CET | From | The Green Hornet Party | To | Debating the A Small Military Tweak |
| Message | We like article one but not article two. We need to have the weapons and be able to use them when and if needed. |
