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.
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.

Una canzone a commento della recente dipartita di Donald "Rummy" Rumsfeld dai vertici USA (magari fosse dipartito con destinazione Inferno!) fatta utilizzando le sue stesse parole tratte dal celebre libro "Pieces of Intelligence : The Existential Poetry of Donald H. Rumsfeld", capitolo 1 "War is Peace: The Zen Master Poet".
La chiarezza del pensiero di Rumsfeld si svela in questa elucubrazione offerta durante un Department of Defense news briefing del 12 febbraio 2002...
Dedicato a Rummy e a tutti i guerrafondai testedicazzo.
