"Blue sky over Baghdad after two days of sandstorms Thu Mar 27 2003 01:43:32 ET

Baghdad (dpa) - After two days a heavy sandstorm over Baghdad has subsided on Thursday.

A blue sky over the Iraqi capital and surrounding countryside permitted a clear view. The storm had slowed down military activities and the advance of ground troops.

Air attacks have continued despite the strong, dust-loaded storm."



LET'S ROLL!!!!!!!!

The Will of Allah that our Marines get a couple days of rest after 4 straight days of almost no sleep. Gee, these Muslims sure are smart.

The weather was a minor impediment to our plans. Now we can bring up close air support once it clears down south and hit em with a vengeance.

Funny that because of the sand storm they moved out of cover and now... Look Da PLANE, DA PLANE!

I woke up to a beautiful blue sky and spring day with no wind today. Quite a shocking change from the daily storm we have had for over a week. The sky is 80% blue with very light and thin clouds at a very hight altitude.

Perfect hunting weather for eagles and other birds of prey.

LOL, yeah, right. Hey Ambrose, have you heard anymore about that alleged big column coming south from Baghdad? I have been resting for the last 6 hours, due to bronchitis, and had not head any more about it.

The big bad column has been creeping along all day long now. LOL. What's nice about a day or so of minor setbacks is all the Chicken Little jackasses go jumping up and down squealing with glee. Soooo predictable.

Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
