Am I the only person who knew exactly what Donald Rumsfeld (not-to-be-missed former US Sec. of State for Defence /Defense) meant when he famously talked about "known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns"??? Which category does his surprise resignation fall into???

errrrr?!?! I wasn't attempting to put anyone down by asking this question (re: flaming baby head). The quote is always presented in the media as being total gibbersih, that's all. This seemed a bit unfair, as his meaning seemed crystal clear to me (even if I don't agree with his politics!).

Donald H. Rumsfeld would not take a crap in the morning without a business plan, He resigned from Congress in 1969 during his fourth term to join the President's Cabinet, Known known, and planed move.
He is famous for saying 'I don't do diplomacy' but he sure does business. I think that the Rumsfeld bank account is very healthy now, and he will soon announce his new projects. but when you lie in bed with Bush, not the worlds most imaginative thinker, i think that a mind like Rumsfeild would have guessed that as soon as the smelly stuff hit the fan, he would be axed.
Bush replaces Rumsfeld to get 'fresh perspective'.. come on, the writing has been on the Baghdad wall for ages, it was a known known...
I bet the only member of this story to whom the resignation was Unknown unknown was George W himself, who must have been quite shocked by his decision

If you intend to learn how to end any kind of abuse the you will have to have this program of Bruce Perry, Patriot Self Defense , a course that you merely will get it here https://tr.im/JcrRS
Patriot Self Defense may educate you on a very successful self-defense program that is been field-tested in properties, at government activities and on a number of the meanest roads on earth against the most callous, shrewd and harmful criminal.
With Patriot Self Defense you will find out that is easier then you expected to protect yourself since you don't must be an expert or have energy, you only have to learn how to do certain moves, easy movements but deathly.

Known Unknown. He knew this day was coming (known), but just not when for the rest of us (unknown)

i knew the unknown known before any body knew the known unknown. That is why i was very happy when the unknown became known

I will miss him. I think he is a hard working patriot who has devoted his life to public service. Alas, he ran afoul of the world jihad movement and their allies and ended up discredited. I don't think he did anything that he did not consider in the very best interests of America and its military establishment. But the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Hope his successor has better luck.
God protect and preserve America!

The FULL BLESSING has come at his dismissal. His words will be remembered as the kind of person he was. And Bush will be too. Speech says a lot about people...

What catagory? How about damn poor timing? Should have happened about a year ago.
It will be interesting what the new guy does.
