I really don't understand why people make fun of Rumsfeld for this. Sure, I strongly disagree with his politics and policies, but what he's saying is actually quite sensical. Epistemology much?
@JeanRomanRoaming That's all well and good (believe me, I wasn't happy about the war), but all I'm saying is that people act as though Rumsfeld was talking nonsense, when in fact he's saying something quite intelligent.
osama died10 yr ago search Dr steve pieczenik works above gov& is takin gov to court for murder. now we know y gov admitted putting fake videos of osama after 9/11.bc he was dead.srch Benazir Bhutto, she was assassinated, after stating to live news in 2007that osama was dead. she died,that year. fact 92% of ppl killed in war r civilians.23yr old solider Bradley manning released secret documents frm war. to wikileaks 4 us.hes torched for life in jail frm gov ppl call him a hero
Tea-Partiers are sell-outs to the genuine cause of Our Forefathers. They are all opportunists who would support terrorism against minorities in this country and wish for segregation of all non-majority citizens. Do not look to them for a source of encouragement. They are no better than the Nazis in World War 2. Tea partiers want a revolution as long as it serves their arbitrary ends. They are liars, deceivers, and thieves. True Libertarian ideals are the exact opposite of the Tea Partiers.
According to this speech... He knows what he knows and doesn't know what he doesn't know... Isn't that the case with everyone??? He gave a speech on such a subject???
but the quote makes sense. It's ridiculous in context, but It's true. There are some things that you don't know that you don't know. (god thats so long to say!)
You can't attack a country on what you don't know..Well we did but it's was an unlawful preemptive strike,all in the name of this NEW WORLD ORDER.The US government want's to train civilian's as THE UNITED STATE'S POLICE!!WAKE UP PEOPLE!
no no im not saying what he did was right. im just saying the knowing bit is true. Like I did not know u existed before u commented. and I did not know that I did not know that. Now I kno that I dont know ur real name. see? Known Unkowns and Unknown Unkowns. Now that doesnt justify the invasion of Iraq which was unlawful, terribly handled and just plain ludicrous.
I understand completely.This corrupt government wanted to deceive people into aa war.What better way than to make them think Iraq is a threat.Now it's Iran.This government is rotten to the core.
this is how the US justifies a war. What a liar, a hypocrite and a warmonger. Which makes me think, who is responsible for having elected this government twice?
Dont get me wrong, I hate Rumsfeld and his neocon point of view about the world. However, this statement is maybe the most clear Rumsfeld I've ever witnessed, what he just said is actually how unknowns in the government work, there are 3 types of unknowns and he describes them well here. That being said, I wish Rumsfeld wasnt ever in charge of these unknowns.
This shouldn't make people laugh. It should make them cry. This man, together with a lot of other ignorant war-mongering people, killed thousands of innocent men, women and children. That, clearly, is unforgivable. But will he ever be tried for his crimes? Of course not.
I agree. It's sad that these people are actually the ones running the country. Look at President Bush and all of his incompetence and yet he has been in Office for two terms! That will be 8 years!
The sad part is that it makes sense. Example: Think of the history of the Universe......anyway there should be no excuses only mistakes and responsibilty. Shame on you Rumsfeld.
Will he ever suffer the consequences he's made the people all over the world suffer? Nah! He'll live to be a rich old fart with tons of money in the bank.
A wise man knows that he knows not. A wiseass blows smoke up everyone's ass and pretends not to know about any mistakes that are made. A dumbass who knows nothing gets selected by the Supreme Court and surrounds himself with wiseasses to hide the fact that he knows nothing.
Q: Could I follow up, Mr. Secretary, on what you just said, please? In regard to Iraq weapons of mass destruction and terrorists, is there any evidence to indicate that Iraq has attempted to or is willing to supply terrorists with weapons of mass destruction? Because there are reports that there is no evidence of a direct link between Baghdad and some of these terrorist organizations.
