| Message | I think this overly limits us. Why are you in support of this measure? I just don't quite understand. |

| Message | I see it as the way to balance out the CBW measure we passed - if we are willing to use CBW's, I don't think we should institute redundant defense of chemical and biological attacks. To be honest, I would have included this in the original CBW bill if I thought VBS would vote for it. Any hint that we will use nukes in response to CBW attacks could put us in a commitment trap, where we jeopardize our own deterrent by over-selling what we are going to do in the case of attacks. |

| Message | It could be that SNP has decided to flee your sinking ship. You're no longer top dog in Selucia. |

| Message | Indeed, due to exams (I have my last one in 4 hours) I wasn't online much, I couldn't debate much or couldn't propose bills. However, I'm convinced this will turn around within one or two weeks. |
