One quick point:

The mobilization for Desert Storm was <b>enormous</b> compared to the current conflict in Afghanistan. Also, advances and optimizations have definitely been made in the last, oh, ELEVEN YEARS since Desert Storm. Considering what has been done, I don't think that the month between the attack on the WTC/Pentagon/Flight 93 and the beginning of strikes on Afghanistan on October 7 is too long to get some planes down there to drop bombs. We're not talking full-scale mobilization to invade a fucking country, Muse.
