Donald Rumsfeld

"I am a lot more comfortable with a known unknown, who I will support, than with a known known who is unacceptable.โ€
"Very hard-line... just iron-ass."
WikiLeaks' massive "war logs" release on Iraq last October exposed Rumsfeld's many misleading statements over and over, but were quickly forgotten by mainstream journalists.
If Rumsfeld had any other thoughts at that historic moment in 2002, thus far, that single one is the only known to have been recorded for posterity.
