RPGs hit Baghdad hotel

Two rocket-propelled grenades hit the Bourj al-Hayat in Central Baghdad early on Friday morning, but there were no casualties, said security guards with the foreign firms that use the hotel.

Staff working for the companies, contracted by the US-led occupation force in Iraq, are regular guests at the hotel.

"The first and fourth floors were hit. No one was wounded," said one of the guards from the companies.

4. Another donkey cart attack?
What is it about the donkey carts only lobbing RPG's at hotels? Practically every time you hear of a hotel attack, it comes out later that it was a donkey cart attack.

What do the fucking donkeys have against hotels, anyway?

6. Saddam raised some badass donkeys, that's all I can figure
Screw WMDs, Saddam was training a new breed of killer donkey that packs RPGs in an innocent-looking cart. This "donkey artillery" was to be deployed in the USA via seemingly innoccuous agricultural exchanges. :crazy:

5. Centcom says multi-sided dice are worthless weapons
Gen. Sanchez: "The Saddam loyalist's reliance on role playing games show how desperate they are."

Rumsfeld: "My goodness! Did they think we would just leave after being pelted with a few 20 sided dice? I could answer that, but I won't."
