| Message | These are not tactical weapons, they are not used against soldiers, they are used against civilians, and such an act would be beneath this country |

| Message | Why not? These are not the weapons of a civilised society, soldiers have protection against such things but not civilians, a nation that think it is justified in using chemical and biological weapons is lead by barbarians. |
