No alternate proposals or solutions from any of them, aside from more or less immediate withdrawal, which is the obvious prelude to doing nothing. I think that part of that is legitimate. Say you have a football team that can't get anything going and is losing badly. You look to replace the coach with the general manager and ask him for a gameplan. He can readily articulate a gameplan he would have used had he been coaching the whole game. But what ideas does he have for pulling out a victory now that they are down by fifty points, their quarterback got knocked out of the game after he was put in to run back a punt, and their defense is exhausted? Can you fairly criticize him for not having a gameplan on the tip of his tongue to recover from that? If, when put on the spot, he yammers vacantly a bit about how dumb the previous gameplan was? Sure, it's not useful to present what he would have done differently had he been coaching from the beginning. We have to play the cards we are dealt and move forward. But if the situation has already been rendered all but hopeless, it doesn't seem fair to beat on him too much for not having a miracle to offer.
