A mercenary selling his services to the highest bidder! What's this world coming to? I wonder if in the course of selling his expertise to our good friends the Chinese Mr. Prince will be inclined to share with them some of his knowledge of United States tactics and strategies that we would rather the Chinese didn't know? I sure hope not; he seemed such a nice fellow when we hired him.

Should I hold my breath waiting for Mr. Cheney to volunteer his opinion about what a swell idea it was for the U.S. to hire mercenaries in the first place? He's been quite outspoken as of late.
