I actually like the quote. But there are a couple reasons Rumsfeld deserves to get raked over the coals for it: 1. The Bush Administration lied like war criminals to lead us into the Iraq War. So even though he may have been referring to technical operational complications of winning the peace in Iraq or whatever, it was easy to construe it as more bullshit gibberish to justify a crime against humanity. 2. Related to 1. There were plenty of known knowns with Iraq that the Bush Administration treated as some variety of unknown. It sounded a lot like he was using a clever philosophical aphorism to make excuses for stupid blatant errors of judgment. An NPR recap of the path to war at a time when the full scope of the fraud was still coming to light: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5289399 https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=528939...
