I say the dust storm before we even reached Baghdad. It was within the first two weeks, don't recall exactly. I do say it was prior to Jessica Lynch, as Dux states... I think they bit on that one simply because it fit into the Lost-White-Girl the media loves so much.
The reason I point out the dust storm was because at the time it was the only true resistance the offensive faced. The entire military was slowed down to a crawl because of a storm which engulfed the entire country. One would obviously say, "wait it out, and start driving once the sand stops".... however we got "QUAGMIRE: IRAQ".
