This is one point I can't understand .... you (the USA) is able to invade a
country in a matter of 1 or 2 days (I don't want to argue about *that*
right now), bring thousands of soldiers from one side of the planet to the
other one ... but: aren't you able to bring several thousand of soldiers, a
carrier, etc. down to New Orleans? Let your troops do something useful.

Actually it took about 6 months to get the soldiers in place for Iraq.
