There are too many unknowns, too many factors that we may not have yet considered. Donald Rumsfeld coined this phrase in response to questions about whether terrorism intelligence collected by government agencies was being shared with all other security agencies.
Q: But seriously, Mr. Secretary, are you confident that all the intelligence gathered has been adequately shared, all the intelligence that Defense and the military has gathered has been adequately shared with other security agencies in the government?
Rumsfeld: Well, of course you don't know what you don't know. All I know is that we get a great deal of intelligence. We see that the individuals responsible for force protection in the United States and elsewhere around the world have it as rapidly as is possible. They then make their judgments as to how they're going to behave with respect to it.

Get the We don't know what we don't know mug.We Don’t Know: The Game is a upgraded form of Calvinball.
Goal:
You HAVE to lose, no matter what or why.
Rules:
1 player must go over to a checkerboard and move the rook without his/her hands. The other must move a rock to a circle on the ground. If the rock reaches the circle and cracks before player 1 finishes, he loses 3 points. Player 2 climbs a tree and says a letter and a number. If the rook is on that spot. Player 1 runs into the tree while yelling “KING ME!” If he knocks the bubble rod down, he wins. (And remember: he must lose the game.) But if it is Tuesday, he loses.
Complicated, right?
