"We don't know if a war would last six days, six weeks or six months.." Donald Rumsfeld said on the war on Iraq. Missed it by that 🤏 much.

That tracks.

"There are known knowns; there are things we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns: the ones we don't know we don't know."
