   Apparently your mind is sufficiently made up so presenting any facts may   
   only bring down your abusive wrath and achieve nothing else. But the   
   fact is that about 80% of the content will be manufactured at various   
   sites by various subcontractors in the US. Yes final assembly will be in   
   Hornell. Alstom has a waiver to produce the first two sets in Europe,   
   and then they are required to set up most of the supply chain in the US.   
      
   This is similar to the mix that Siemens has in its manufacture of the   
   engines and the train sets for AAF too.
