"Longterm Planning" is a handy spin-line that allows you to take credit for things that looked as though they were going to end-up terribly to everyone, but which turned-out right at the end.
If something is bad, it will be due to 'Unknowable Unknowables' or 'New Developments', while surprise successes will be down to Bushes "Longterm View".
This isn't a comment on policy, just a way to take advantage of unexpectedly positive news. It's marketing and spin, nothing more.
