About that wall...
Over at Conservative Treehouse we read that Saudi
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is outraged at GOP candidate Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall at the southern border of the US. The Prince
has called Donald
Trump a disgrace to the United States following his call for a ban on Muslims
entering the country, and demanded the Republican front-runner withdraw from
the U.S. presidential race.
. . .
“You are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America,”
Prince Alwaleed, the chairman of Kingdom Holding, said on his Twitter account,
addressing Trump and referring to the Republican Party.

The Jerusalem Post here:
Just over a week ago, IS militants launched an attack on a Saudi
border post, killing a senior Saudi general and two border guards, marking the
first direct IS assault on Saudi grounds, The Telegraph reported.
In an effort to defend itself from the IS threat and further
attacks, the [Saudi] kingdom launched a massive project to construct a
"Great Wall" along it's northern border with Iraq, where IS presence
is heavy.
Proposed in 2006, the border zone entails five layers of fencing,
supplemented by watch towers, radar cameras, night-vision security, and a heavy
presence of extra Saudi troops, according to the report.
The wall is set to extend nearly 1000-km and will combine fence
and ditch barriers along the northern Saudi border.
Riyadh hopes that the completed project will fend off IS threats
and keep the relatively closed kingdom, closed indeed.
Hypocrisy.
