Marc, you just have to slow down and READ posts before you respond. I'll let you reread my post (that you included in your response), then read your response, and then apologize :-)

The foreigners had to get their assets into place, too. It wasn't unilateral. In fact, it's ironic that you're showing this particular kind of ignorance on the topic -- it was precisely because the Saudis allowed foreign, non-Moslem soldiers on its soil that set bin Laden off. You started off politically, first with the Saudis, to get permission to move some of the things that couldn't be airlifted in (like most of the tanks your army uses). Light infantry were only brought in when the infrastructure was in place. And Canadian, Australian and British ships can't sail any faster than their U.S. counterparts -- they headed for the Gulf months ahead of time, just like the U.S. forces did.
