not that i give a rat's........ u know what, but riddle me this.... do you think we may suffer an AIG backlash sentiment of sort with all this?? i mean, what if the govt. settles, or, if the govt. settles, is there any consideration they have to have over this??? i.e., screw wamuers, etc.... let em fail... yadda yadda.... maybe, just maybe the govt. doesnt want THAT type of can of worms opened, either. just trying to present a flip side of the coin scenario here. i'm long and strong, still. lets roll !!!
