$12 Billion a year on the military, and no options???

Since that rant wasn't terribly helpful.

What if we called up the hospitals in Iraq, talked to the staff there on what they need. I.e. Security, Equipment, electricity. Then using the funds we have already allocated to Iraq, drop ship medical supplies from nearby countries.

Then commercially fly in what ever military people need who can stabiles the hospitals, stage all of this from Kuwait or Turkey. Turkey probably has more airport and transport resources available.

Perhaps there is the possibility that the Americans can accommodate Baghdad airport for a handful of commercial flights or military cargo flights from an allied country with medical supplies.

Just an off the cuff thought...
