I assumed, because of my reading, and I assume they assumed, that their intelligence was near perfect

I assumed that, too. It really never occurred to me that they couldn't pull off whatever it was that they had in mind. Surprise.

I might have been a good idea (I didn't say "would") had they been able to pull it off. Terrible idea if they can't pull it off. Sort of like Iraq. <g>
