Any bets on how long before the Iraqi Ministry of Weather, or whatever, takes credit for this?

Combat missions from two aircraft carriers were called back because of bad weather and two Army divisions were virtually stalled in a vicious sandstorm that reduced visibility to a few feet. Thousands of Marines trekking north toward Baghdad traveled only about 20 miles in five hours, buffeted by heavy winds and blowing sand. While Iraq often sees sandstorms in the spring, meteorologists said this one was exceptional.

I hope the Coalition men and women can use the down-time to catch up on some much-needed rest.
