Just my own opinion, but I don't think you can sell off AIG assets fast enough, and at a high enough price to pay off the government's loan (including the accrued interest) within two years.

I think AIG will have to continue to post additional collateral and will blow through the total government approved amount. That collateral will be needed for years because AIG will never get the ratings improvements it needs to be able to recapture posted collateral to pay off the government.

I believe this company and the government are stuck together for years before the advanced funds can be fully recovered, if ever, and the interest the government loan is at will ultimate bleed AIG to the point it cannot provide a decent return to its non-government shareholders.
