The C-130s are exactly what's required. When what you have is a disaster area hundreds of thousands of miles long, but one block deep, the critical thing is not a lack of supplies, but getting them to the place they're needed.

It turns out the C-130s can not only take things to the location but take off with new supplies for another location. A water purification system that stays in one location - great for that one location, too bad for every other location... unless you have helos and C130s to move that water around.

Now remind us, how did the critical C-130s take off without that executive decision that was supposedly required on day five?
