Is the Government Building and stockpiling WMD?

As the usual Conspiracy Nuts come out of the woodwork as President Atreus's term winds up a new book published by the so called "King of Conspiracy Theory" Theodore Mendes asks a question that has been asked for over 14 years, is the government sitting on a secret stockpile of WMD?

The book, titled Behind the Nuclear Veil; Is Taligari Hiding WMD?, has for some odd reason reached #5 on the Bestseller List has been declared by the government to be "Poppycock" and "A pile of Misinformation". However rumors of a WMD Stockpile have flourished since the Lady Yne Office when Taligari was believed to be "Pure Pacifist" but no evidence was ever found by investigators.

This book claims that a General in the Taligari army (who is always refered to as "The General") held an off-camera interview with Theodore and told him that not only was the nation in possesion of WMD but that the nation had been building these weapons ever since the Lady Yne Office 14 Years ago. Quote from the book, "...Yes Taligari is in possession of the most advanced nuclear weapons in existance... Since Alia was voted into office with the backing fo the new military budget scientists have been working on a biological weapons stockpile... and there are massive underground storehouses that contain huge stockpiles of Chemical weapons as well."

The public has mixed feelings about the book and the uneasy questions it raises that they have been asking themselves, Is Taligari a WMD Power or Not?

"I'd like to think that we have managed to maintain our honor by not building these weapons but my gut tells me that the Government isn't telling the whole truth."- Maxwell Barry, 24, DJ

"This book is just another Conspiracy Theory written by a nutcase, next question?"- Senator Alex Shrubb, 41

We did our own investigation but we have been unable to find anything of the sort (of WMD) in our nation. But we will keep you informed.

Now for a Commercial Break.
