- I ___HEARD___ that the factory that the United Nations thought were making
- nuclear weapons were ACTUALLY making Falcon030 computers.
-
- Since it was targeted by the U.S. and DESTROYED, we will have to wait
- another six months for Falcons.
-
- I believe I heard a represenative from Iraq saying that they will "rebuild"
- this factory, however.
-
- So, at least there is some good news.
