Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting
to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we
know we know. 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. And if one looks
throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is
the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.
OK, dave, are you lucid enough to understand what Rumsfeld said, and if so,
does that not make Sanders an even bigger idiot than he has already demonstrated
himself to be?
It's a false dichotomy. Just because I can puzzle through what he says
doesn't make it any less funny.
I mean, really, to talk about unknown unknows *is* pretty funny in a
military briefing. Especailly when you talk about the difficulty of
knowing unknown unknowns.
