I didn't read it all, but didn't Rumsfeld pretty much admit that he didn't know much in his "known unknowns" speech?

I remember Rumsfeld talking about "shock and awe" on the eve of the Iraq invasion, and I was just looking for that speech because I remember the gleam in his eye. I can't actually find it, but I've been looking at the start of the invasion, and it takes me right back. It was certainly shocking and awesome, but you had to remember there were people in those buildings where they were bombing, and I remember thinking how frightening it must have been. It was like a giant firework display but a lot more deadly.

It was the age of the Neo-Cons and American exceptionalism...thank god it was short-lived.

True-believers...the bane of civilization, as Eric Hoffer taught us.

Rumsfeld is still trying to spin this, saying that his comments were generally precise but that a few times he said they knew where the weapons were. I don't know how you make that kind of "mistake," frankly.
