"Rumsnamara" couldn't find his own toochis with two hands and a flashlight, and the Claremont Institute is awarding him a Statesmanship Award? In honor of Sir Winston Churchill?!

A more appropriate honor would be poet laureate:

There are
known knowns
These are
things we know
that we know

There are
known unknowns
That is to say
there are things
that we know
we don't know

unknown unknowns
There are things
we don't know
we don't know
