This echoes the theory advanced by Daniel Ellsberg in 1971 in his famous essay "The Quagmire Myth and the Stalemate Machine", in which he put the case that the politicians, backed by the US military-industrial complex, were publicly saying that the Vietnam war was a quagmire in which the injection of just a bit more public money into the war effort would see the US prevail, when in fact they knew that the war was in stalemate and had been from fairly early on, and that no amount of extra resources could break the stalemate - but that stalemate very nicely suited the military-industrial complex and many politicians whose constituencies were reliant on military industries and contracts.
