Oxidus,
Your point is made every time a reporter asks Bush about an alternate plan to the current circumstance.
For example, one will ask him, "I understand you are doing X but what will you do if Y happens."
Every time I've seen him he replies, "You aren't understanding me, I don't consider Y happening."
"But what if it does?"
"It won't."
Back and forth like that. Even if there are alternate plans that he doesn't want to share I would be more comfortable with someone stating that they would rather not discuss them rather than stating that they refuse to even consider alternate possibilities.
