"There's no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat... Yes, he has chemical and biological weapons. He's had those for a long time. But the United States right now is on a very much different defensive posture than we were before September 11th of 2001... He is, as far as we know, actively pursuing nuclear capabilities, though he doesn't have nuclear warheads yet. If he were to acquire nuclear weapons, I think our friends in the region would face greatly increased risks as would we." -- Wesley Clark on September 26, 2002

But, at least officially, he isn't."Why should Hillary Clinton be president of the United States?" he asked at one point during the pair's hour-long conversation here yesterday. "I won't vote on the issues. I will vote on — the same way I select a CEO. I'm looking for somebody with the brains and qualities of a CEO," Mr. Buffett said with Mrs. Clinton sitting at his side.The crowd of 1,500, each of whom donated between $100 and $2300 to attend, roared with approval. Audience members later told The New York Sun that they thought Mr. Buffett's endorsement gave Mrs. Clinton a leg up over her Democratic rivals, such as Senator Obama of Illinois.However, in interviews yesterday, Mr. Buffett reaffirmed his intention to back both Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama in the primary contest. While the so-called Oracle of Omaha did a major fundraiser for Mrs. Clinton in New York in June, he also did a somewhat less prolific and less public event for Mr. Obama in Omaha a few weeks later.As in the June "conversation," Mr. Buffett did most of the talking yesterday.
