The "truth" is that the Al Rashid hotel was not actually struck by an errant
cruise missile... the damage was caused by some dweeb in the lobby who powered
up an Iraq made 110v Falcon on 220v ac and the DSP blew!!!

And if you believe THIS, I've got some prime beachfront property in New
Mexico you might be interested in!  :)
