Classic Rumsfeld line

[iwearnosox]

?Reports that say something hasn?t happened are interesting to me, because as we know, there are known unknowns; there are things we know we know,? Rumsfeld told the briefing. ?We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns ? the ones we don?t know we don?t know.?

Sounds like a typical Rumsfeld "ask a stupid question..." response to me.

Unfortunately, it was just another unsolicited remark by that incoherent fool.

Hey cut him some slack, he is getting up there in age!

I like Rumsfeld, at least he's entertaining to watch. Anyone that's not PC in government nowadays deserves some kind of kudos!

 

[tomwolfman]

he later apologised said he was drunk when he said it!.remember before the gulf war all the press used to pester him with questions,it was funny
question:sir,are you going to use M.O.A.B."
rumsfeld(exasperated):"i doont know if were going to use MOAB"

A charismatic speaker is not necessarily a good leader and a good leader is not necessarily a charismatic speaker. It's easy to judge a person on how well they speak but some of the brightest people stuttered. I place no importance on how well a person speaks.

[Amorphus]

Since you're stating that as fact, I trust you can provide a transcript of the news briefing where it was said. Linky?

Well ol' Rumy is 0 for 2 there...neither a charismatic speaker nor a good leader.
