		While the statement that "surprise is difficult to achieve" does not speak to the past, it certainly describes current and expected conditions of war fighting.
		Each of these services has relegated strategic surprise to the annals of history or, at best, to the realm of being "difficult to achieve." The nature of strategic surprise, however, suggests a future different from that which is currently supposed.
		If surprise is inevitable, as this article and the weight of history seem to indicate, then some changes need to be made in the way we view strategic surprise.

		It is actually possible for a nice surprise to backfire and turn into a nasty surprise, for example when the recipient feels they are being manipulated or when the sense of obligation is felt to be excessive.
		A simple way we avoid embarrassment is to pretend that we are not surprised, and that we had expected the surprising event to happen after all.

	The Washington Monthly
		The visits are "surprise" visits because they have not been announced to the press before they actually occur (except probably in the case of Rice, where it was clear that she was intentionally waiting longer than the Bush critics wanted.)
		Calling them "surprise" visits successfully distracts the media from the fact that the surprises are part of security arrangements in a region the Bush administration has made more unstable and more dangerous.
		Everything is a "surprise" because they make it up entirely as they go along, with almost no understanding of the past or visions of the future.

	Windows XP and Surprise Removal of Hardware
		Surprise removal of hardware is a common end-user scenario that has always been a challenge for Windows.
		Because surprise removal resulted in system instability or other problems, and because the hardware community could not integrate physical locking mechanisms due to cost constraints, Microsoft added a mitigating feature in Windows to warn users with a pop-up message anytime surprise removal of hardware occurred.
		Because the hardware community had not designed locks to prevent surprise removal, and because users prefer surprise removal over controlled removals, it became obvious that the operating system had to address the problem and provide support for these scenarios.

		Later, under oath to the House of Representatives' October Surprise task force, he doubled back yet again, this time declaring that he had fabricated all previous claims about the October Surprise as revenge against Uncle Sam for his drug bust.
