They should have been sent before they knew who needed them where, to what area they would be tasked, or even where they could land.

Rich world 'failing' on quake aid
Many of the world's richest countries have so far failed to support a UN appeal for victims of the South Asian quake, a top UK-based charity has said.
The charity, Oxfam, said less than 30% of $312m (£175m) sought by UN aid agencies has been pledged.
It said the US, Japan, Germany and Italy had given less than their "fair share" and others nothing at all.
The criticism comes as donor nations meet in Geneva on Wednesday to try to increase funding for the quake appeal.
The UN had earlier warned that a serious lack of funding and practical difficulties, such as blocked roads, were creating what it described as a death trap for some 800,000 survivors.
The UN says up to 20% of those affected by the earthquake have still received no help.
What a disgrace. A terrible disgrace. Were all human beings for crying in the lake and we should all help our fellow man in times of need. Piss on politics or political agenda's.
