Or did all those have to be planned and have logistics gather everthing first? If the exercises had to have logisics first how long did that take? Unless you are saying you had a teliportation device, that could instantly transprot the resources and personnel to where they were needed, it took time to get them there, AFTER A PLAN WAS FORMED!!!!!. In forming the plans are you saying it was instantious(sp?)? no working out of problems , no looking for potinial problems? everything was correct and right in the very instant the thought of a possible plan entered the comanding officer's mind?
It took 6 weeks to formulate a plan and engage in the invasion of Afgahnistan - not 6 months. Defending a country is even easier especially when the plan was already in place!. No intel to gather, no shifting of resources half-way around the world, no plan to formulate... [/QUOTE]That's not what I asked Skunk! BUT you are wrong! the plan used in the attack on Afgahnistan WAS the plan that is in question that took the Bush White House 6 months or more to formulate. THAT PLAN WAS the basis, the Blueprint, the model, the foundation for the actions taken in Afganhistan. A fact that your post testifies to and I quote your post again:

What the "Hale" do you mean no shifting of resourses half way around the world?????? Last Time I checked Afganhistan was halfway arround the world from the U.S.A. unless you are using one of those teleportation devices I was asking about!

Even if they used a new plan, you are trying to compare a plan for a possibility, a "WHAT IF" to a plan for a certainty "THIS IS", anybody that has ever even attempted that understands a "what if" plan will take longer to create by it's very nature.
