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.
