I am speaking from experience. Our military as a whole is not always as ready to go as you would think. Mainly the first days are covered but it's follow on supplies for extended stays (say over a week) that would have been the major problem. Not only that but we outsource a lot of things like networking and communications that need to be put in place quick, not after the years the normal acquisition process takes.

"Have the troops starve"? Are you seriously suggesting that we entered Iraq with no plan to feed our troops? That the only way to feed them was to forfeit legitimate processes for "last minute emergency decisions" involving politically valuable, no bid contracts? I'm sorry, but I always suspect unwarrantedly extreme arguments. They tend to mask illicit behavior.
