When we bombed Afganastan we dropped supplies to the natives the very next day. They knew 72 hours before the hurricane came that it was coming and it's been three days.
There's no excuse in my opinion.

Think about what has to be co-ordinated, how many people have to do how many things in a certain order, how long it takes to load and truck things....
I swear that people on this board have such a twisted view of reality.
You should try working on construction sometime. For a while in my life I was running heavy equipment... even with tight schedules and working around the clock, THINGS TAKE TIME TO DO. Stuff has to be done in a certain order to enable things to happen, if one piece has a problem, everything else is held up, if one person along the process screws up, it can through everything off.... there are problems, and processes that you haven't even thought of in order to make all these things happen.
There is no magic wand.... and things don't happen that fast except in the movies.
Hell, the fastest that we can send in the 82nd airbourne is 48 hours.... and that is with minimal supplies, ammo and support that will only last a couple of days.
