Tank crews from the Alpha Company 4th Battalion 64 Armor Regiment pray during a heavy sand storm before convoying to a position near the Iraqi border today. The commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, Maj. Gen. Buford Blount III, ordered his troops to reposition to locations near the border as President Bush's deadline for Saddam Hussein to leave Iraq approached. (AP Photo/John Moore)

(Having been in a big dust storm last autumn - but without anyone shooting at me - I know a little bit of what they're feeling...)

A flotilla of small Iraqi ships sailed into the Gulf on March 18, 2003 in what a U.S. admiral said might be a bid to sneak out explosives to attack U.S. or British warships. Rear Admiral John Kelly, in charge of a battle group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, said a U.S. ultimatum giving Iraqi President Saddam Hussein 48 hours to leave or face war had raised U.S. fears that Baghdad might strike first.

Streaks of dust and sand kicked up by strong winds, can be seen streaking across Kuwait, southern Iraq, and the Gulf today. A fierce sandstorm in parts of the Kuwaiti desert briefly cut visibility to a few yards, but a U.S. commander said the dust would not disrupt plans for an imminent invasion of Iraq. In other parts of the assembly zones for tens of thousands of U.S. and British military personnel, Reuters correspondents said visibility was about 200 yards. Three hundred 300 miles to the northwest, Baghdad was also shrouded in dust. (Lrrs-Modis/Reuters)

Shamrocks in the Gulf

British soldiers of the Irish Guards regiment parade with shamrocks in their berets to celebrate St. Patrick's Day today at Camp Coyote in Kuwait. While the regiment is traditionally presented with shamrocks by a member of the Royal family, this year Lt. Gen. James T. Conway in command of the 1st U.S. Marine Expeditionary Force did the honors because of the regiments participation in preparations for a potential war with Iraq. (AP Photo/Ed Wray)
