A POESIA DE RUMSFELD

Encontrei um site delicioso com declarações do Secretário de Defesa americano, Donald Rumsfeld. Deixo-vos aqui só um cheirinho do que podem lá encontrar.

A Confession
Once in a while,
I'm standing here, doing something.
And I think,
"What in the world am I doing here?"
It's a big surprise.

—May 16, 2001, interview with the New York Times

..por momentos, quase que pareceu ter actividade cerebral!!!


The Unknown
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.

..como dizia o nosso caro Octávio Machado, "vocês sabem bem do que é que eu estou a falar!"
