You DO NOT make public comments to an audience like that What are you getting upset about? The WHITE HOUSE is making the same comments! We're about to go to war - again - with Iraq - again - because our President is convinced they're going to nuke somebody. Wasn't it just today the WHITE HOUSE added Syria, Libya and Cuba to the Weapons of Mass Destruction Evil-Axisers? Unless the White House is lying Buffet not only has a right to say what he said, he has an obligation to his shareholders to say what he said. If you don't like it, take it up with the White House. I'm sure they'd love hearing that our troops are cleaning out Afghani caves for no good reason.

Calm down. Buffet made comments that insurers would not pay for attacks of weapons of mass distruction like biological weapons or dirty bombs that contained spend nuclear radioisotopes and even nuclear weapons. Buffets position is no different then that of Llyods of London currently.

KevinMark..I concur 100%. A person of his stature should not be making public statements like that. And then he has the audacity to name NY & DC as possible targets. I guess the butter must be slipping off his muffin.

freedom of speech, man -- get used to it. I don't think this is what whacked the market a little anyway. This possibility has been talked about endlessly since 9/11. To say that he did it for personal gain is plain silly ... prior to the bombing in OK would anyone have expected an attack on US soil to take so many lives. No one likes it or wants it, but we all need to be realistic ... the possibility was there whether WB talked about it or not. What does that have to do with the value of stocks -- if flows are so shaky that they reverse over such a comment -- the problem is within the market ...
