They are following the old Jack Kennedy plan. No one really questioned why
his boat got run down by a Jap destroyer... and look what we got (Bay of Pigs--fisaco because the air strikes were downgraded, then cancelled from the top, which led to the missile crisis, and eventually Elian Gonzales.)
Would you buy a used Camelot from John Kerry?
No wonder they are freaking, the plan not only isn't working, it is backfiring.
