In the desert it's not just a matter of the wind is it? Wouldn't the sand blown up have a greater affect than the trajectory of the bullet? Anyone know how fast the wind gets in Iraq?

Hmmm...I suppose it depends on the density of the sand. I'd expect it to retard the round's progress and cause it to drop a bit more, *if it's been stirred up*. Of course, high winds would presumably do that. It would also cause the round to take a little longer to reach its target, which would amplify the effect of any crosswind. Of course, this is all speculation; don't take it as gospel...
