Dang, if the same mindset ruled the roost during WWII:

Today, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill ruled out a military landing at Calais. "I know we want the Nazis to believe we are landing there. But we are in fact planning to land at Normandy."

Field Marshall Rommel could not be reached for comment. Aides were trying to revive him after reading about Churchill's comments.

Field Marshall Rommell was actually at his home in Ulm, Germany celebrating his wife's 50th birthday when we hit Omaha Beach. He had to rush back to the coast but it well past the point of stopping the invasion.
