OMG ... really , for something that has caused such
world wide concern recently wouldnt you think that the
CWC voluntary funding balance would be more than a mere
1.3 million EUR !!!!!
wow , that tells me that theres not much interest in the
convention at all , 1.3 million EUR is less than a
dinner party for those who got us into this position.
and it clearly shows that big money isnt interested in
helping nations to rid themselves of chemical weapons.
but they sure are interested in starting a war against
any nation who has supposedly used chemical weapons.
