With the Islamic State terrorist group in control of large swathes of Iraq, Saudi Arabia has decided to build a “Great Wall” that spans 600 miles.

Construction of the security apparatus began in September and will include five layers of fencing, watch towers and night-vision and radar cameras

Odd how such a fence is said to be worthless against Mexican illegals.

[who knows what evil?]

Sure would look good on our border with Mexico.

Hey, I wonder if we can let a contract to the Saudis for similar construction in the American Southwest...?

Israel Wall - Bad
Saudi Wall - Good

[Adder]

So they can build a fence to keep out a determined foe and we can’t seem to muster the resolve to build one to keep out border jumpers.

Sumphin so wrong heah....

NObody questions islamists building a wall to keep out islamists ?

[TexasCajun]

Even sharia compliant Saudi Arabia gets the threat from islamic extremist.

Yet, Barack keeps his head buried in the sand-trap.

Okay, so how do we explain the 9/11 hijackers? Didn’t they come from Saudi? Doesn’t that mean it’s already in the country, subverting it, working inside the walls?

Good for Saudi Arabia. Not good for USA southern border. Not good for Israel.

Apparently, defensive walls are good only when put up to defend an IslamoNazi dicatorship. Free peoples who strive for liberty in the Judeo-Christian Western tradition are forbidden to defend themselves.

Got it!?

[HiJinx]

OTOH, the Maginot Line comes to mind.

[thackney]

That wasn’t ISIS. The Saudi extremists don’t want competition from others.

[Red Badger]

They’ll probably strike oil..........................

[Thorliveshere]

Okay, that makes sense.

[doug from upland]

With the weaponry and firepower of ISIS, how will this help?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Actually the East Germans had a plan to upgrade the Berlin Wall that looked very similar to this just before they collapsed.

[TigersEye]

Encourage Saudi Arabia to build a wall around their whole country. Then fill it with water.
