The dimbulb writing this article has it completely backwards. The Saudis are building the fence at our request! The Iraqis and the Americans have been demanding for a couple of years now that the Saudis control the flow of insurgents into Iraq from the Kingdom. And now that they are doing it all they get is grief. Sheesh!

Is that right? I would have thought most of the troublemakers were coming from Iran and Syria.

No, he has it precisely as his editors want it.

But you are completely correct. This fence is not keep troublemaking Iraqis out of Saudi Arabia. Instead, it is to keep Saudi Wahhabists out of Iraq.

Syria and Saudi have been about equal sources of Sunni al-Qaida-related troublemakers.
