ajc.com | News | Al Rasheed hotel hit by missiles from mobile launcher

ajc.com | News | Al Rasheed hotel hit by missiles from mobile launcher: "One official said the military had specific intelligence that an attack was imminent on the hotel, the Rashid, where senior personnel of the American occupation live and eat, but that no special precautions had been taken.

Wolfowitz, who arrived here Friday, was one floor above where one of the rockets hit, officials said. He was not hurt.

Officials said the wounded included five American soldiers, seven American civilians working in various Iraqi ministries as part of the American-led effort to rebuild Iraq, and four non-American civilians. The identity of the dead colonel was not immediately released."

O.k. Now how long until Wolfowitz is quoted as saying (again) that progress in Iraq is going great?
