I've been in regular dust storms and they are awful.

Sandstorms have got to hurt, and it's gotta be hell to keep the weapons clean. Plus which, every bite of food would be crunchy.

Then again, the Iraqis have to deal with it, too, and I'm guessing they're having a harder time than we are.

They said on the radio that the sandstorms in Iraq are much more like dust storms because the sand is so fine. Much finer than the stuff in Saudi Arabia - whatever that means. LOL!

Also heard what you said, that our guys are much better equipped to work in the standstorms than the Iraqis so it could work to our advantage.
