There has been loads written about the stupid things George W Bush says, but is Rumsfeld any better? Slate has taken some of his speeches and pulled out direct quotes. No editing. No changing. Just direct quotes. Is this man less a military strategist and more a poet?

The Unknown

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.
