The New DU. Anyone else besides me think it's stupid to announce ahead of time that you're going on the attack?

So I've been thinking about how Barack Obama has made in known (i.e. in the NY Times) that he's going to go on the attack against Sen. Clinton. John Edwards has also made his intentions know that he's going to start attacking Sen. Clinton outright.
And it got me to thinking: it seems pretty stupid (to me at least) to announce ahead of time that you're going to attack your opponent.
I always thought there were something to be said, for the element of surprise.
Announcing you're going on the attack, is tantamount to a football team leaving their playbook in the locker room of the team they're going to play.
