I love that one. One of my favourites is the Rumsfeld "moon" doctrine:

And the construct I would suggest would be what are the benefits -- what are the advantages and disadvantages of not acting? And of course, the advantage of not acting against the moon would be that no one could say that you acted; they would say, "Isn't that good, you didn't do anything against the moon." The other side of the coin, of not acting against the moon in the event that the moon posed a serious threat, would be that you'd then suffered a serious loss and you're sorry after that's over.

Rumsfeld is quite a character. Damn those tidal forces, damn them to hell!
