Saudi Arabia plans 560-mile fence on Iraq border
The Scotsman ^ | 2006 Apr 11 | Michael Theodoulou

SAUDI Arabia has invited bids for the construction of a security fence along the whole length of its 560-mile desert border with Iraq.

The proposed state-of-the-art barrier is part of a comprehensive, hi-tech package to secure the Kingdom's 4,100 miles of borders in order both to improve internal security and bolster the oil-rich Kingdom's defences against external threats.

Saudi Arabia is concerned the chaos in neighbouring Iraq could cause an overspill of sectarian violence and terrorism.

I wonder if anyone will accuse them of being rascist?

NA, not if they still want to get their oil!

Maybe this will keep the source of the terror, the Wahabis in?

Maybe to keep the Wahabis from coming back in?

Either way is good. The new ones don't get out to spread their evil and the returnees get caught against the frence where they can be exterminated and disposed of.

Fences must be 'IN' this year! We need to hurry and build ours before they go out of style.

The US developed the concept and crime of "racism". Many have had to suffer under that stigma through loss of their countries or international isolation, e.g. Rhodesia and the old South Africa. Now it is biting the Americans. Too bad.

"...defences against external threats..."

They've got so many wacko muslim-islamic-arab terrorists inside, they shouldn't worry about the borders as much as ridding themselves of the wahabbists (sp).

BS! Or I should say that the US is the one most accused of racism. At one point in history the Egyptions said America you have your Nig##s and we have our Jews.

The purpose seems to be to keep them out once they get out.
