I will illustrate the problem here regarding a "plan" with a story.
I am the king of LaLa Land. My General comes to me a says that we face the possibility of an attack from a neighboring kingdom. I ask him to develop a plan. He comes back with a detail plan, in summary he says if we are attacked we must sacrifice Jazz City and Roachville, garrison resources and concentrate our defensive efforts on the grand city of Ventura. Then after 90 days we will be able to mount a counter attack and drive out the invaders from our land.
Given the above, if you are from Jazz City you would conclude, that "we" had no plan. You might go to the media and complain about the lack of response, about incompetence, negligence, etc. You may even confront me about "our" lack of a plan. But, the reality is that there was a plan, a plan that may be the best plan available to save the kingdom where the alternative of trying to do everything or save everything at once may have been more tragic than the loss in the two cities in question.
Given, BP and our government, we clearly know now what the plan is. And from the very beginning everyone in the know, knew it would take 90 days and that anything less was a bonus. I bet on the first day, Obama knew it was going to take 90 days to get the leak stopped.
