Of course, Gandalf could have saved everyone a whole lot of time and effort if he simply decided to use the eagles.

This would have meant they could have just flown over Gorgoroth and dropped the ring inside like from a bomber over head.

And then, in this day and age, that very short story (as it wouldn’t have taken three books to tell) would have devolved into some sort of “Angry Hobbits” game on a slingshot instead of “Angry Birds”. =)
