Two and a half years after the Bush Administration kicked the Iraqi anthill and then realized they didn't know the first thing about rebuilding a nation (let alone maintaining their own) they produce a 35 page document to prove *they* believe they're on the right track. In the attempt to sell the magical elixir of warfare for fun and profit to the American people, they've gone slogan-ing again.
Something about the tagline's been bugging me and until just now I'd not been able to put my finger on it.
Plan for Victory
* Plan: v. t. To scheme; to devise; to contrive; to form in design; as, to plan the conquest of a country. [1913 Webster]
Something they should have been doing all along, no?

A Plan for Victory
Plan: n. A scheme devised; a method of action or procedure expressed or described in language; a project; as, the plan of a constitution; the plan of an expedition.
Something we should have already had in place given the homework the neocons at the PNAC had done.
Why use plan as a verb and not a noun, especially after releasing supporting documents?
