As the husband of a woman who had to work very hard to
get diesel fuel into the gas tank of a car that was expecting
regular gas, I find the point of the original post completely
right on.

It was a long way from anything that a consumer would see. I'm no fan of Ford or George W but this didn't seem so strange to me.

Using the same strategy as GWB is using in Iraq. 1. Act like it'll be a simple task. 2. Don't prepare for difficulties, since it'll be a simple task. 3. When it proves more difficult, keep trying the same approach, only harder. 4. Respond to critics by saying they don't understand the real problem. 5. Keep escalating force until something breaks or explodes Step #5 solves the original problem by creating an entirely different one. This is just the long-winded version of what I first heard as the Repairman's Strategem of Murphy's Law: "If it jams, force it; if it breaks, it needed fixing anyway." “How does one plug a power cord into a Hydrogen tank?”

Using the same strategy as GWB is using in Iraq.

1. Act like it’ll be a simple task.

2. Don’t prepare for difficulties, since it’ll be a simple task.

3. When it proves more difficult, keep trying the same approach, only harder.

4. Respond to critics by saying they don’t understand the real problem.

5. Keep escalating force until something breaks or explodes

Step #5 solves the original problem by creating an entirely different one.

This is just the long-winded version of what I first heard as the Repairman’s Strategem of Murphy’s Law: “If it jams, force it; if it breaks, it needed fixing anyway.”
