I'm with you. What's really scaring me is that sand storm coming. Iraqis know how to fight in those circumstances -- or at least, they have a much better idea of how to take advantage of such weather.

What McCaffrey's saying is that it's going to be tough, really tough in the next few days. But, then again, which of our great victories weren't?

the only good thing about the sandstorm is the wind, the wind will blow from the southwest to the northeast, so any chem artillery will quickly disperse and blown back to baghdad city instead of our troops in the south or over karbala...

Oh, please! The insinuation that planners didn't consider desert conditions when our troops have been training for a war in Iraq for the past 12 years is insulting to our intelligence. I'd wager that our troops are better trained for fighting in a sand-storm than Saddams troops!
