I mean, really, to talk about unknown unknows *is* pretty funny in a
military briefing. Especailly when you talk about the difficulty of

Yes, that's my assumption.

That would make him an even bigger fool than some have alleged.

I don't believe any reasonably intelligent person could deliver those
lines without a wink. I don't suppose anybody actually heard him say
