"We have procedures in place that were carefully developed in calmer times after prolonged analysis and debate. They are designed to handle just the situation we are facing."
"No. Using those will be too awkward and they won't be a perfect fit. Besides, just dusting those off won't demonstrate bold leadership. Let's cobble together, in the midst of a crisis and with limited information, an untested procedure. Let's draw on the expertise of many of the same people who got us into the crisis. Then let's hope that the new approach will somehow be superior to the established one."
"Hmm. 'New approach.' I like that."
