| #13 A Haas CNC machine. That's what y'all are talking about, right? |

| #11 "next time we need to get a Haas" A Dutch rabbit, Thing? |

| #10 Think of it as buying time until we get a real CINC. Yah, Ima thinking next time we need to get a Haas. |

| #9 Yes, I am thinking the tech specialists in Iran still don't know what they don't know, and thus neither do any of us. I would just like to be a fly on the wall when each of the centrifuges emits a blue puff of "Iranian technology" smoke, sort of like Mario Andretti's race car on the back streach of the Indy 500... To that I say Allah be praised. |

| #8 Numbers do not seem to be a fixed philosophical concept in that part of the world (except for Israel, of course). Who knows what the real number is. I don't see why the processing problem would not have been applied to every centrifuge in the place, myself. |

| #7 1k damaged probably another few thou in process of being damaged in the meantime, the mullahs are diverting a huge amount of the country's electricity to this project |

| #5 also if you take out 10% of them in one virus attack then every attack after that takes out another 10% or even 5 % then it's worth it too keep on doing it. It cost them alot of money time and effort. |

| #3 Slowing down the process is not ideal, but it's still desirable |

| #2 Mitch, IIRC, every one of those centrifuges has to work perfectly every time, otherwise you can't be sure of what you're getting. Mike |

| #1 Impressive until you read on & discover that they're putting in 10,000. A 10% disablement rate isn't going to do much more than slow down the process, is it? |
