Next Time You Hear a Liberal Complain About that Wall Israel is Building...

...ask them about this "fence" going up on the Saudi/Yemeni border.

From ABC News:

Saudi Arabia said on Monday it was building a security "screen" on its southern border with Yemen aimed at curbing the flow of militants and weapons, but rejected any comparison with Israel's West Bank barrier. Talal Anqawi, head of Saudi Arabia's border guard, told the pan-Arab newspaper Asharq al-Awsat that workers were laying a pipeline to prevent vehicles crossing the porous frontier, which cuts through mountainous tribal territory. Saudi Arabia is battling a wave of violence, blamed on militants linked to Saudi-born Osama bin Laden. Tons of weapons, ammunition and explosives have been seized, many of which are believed to have been slipped across the border from Yemen.

Matt's Chat

And here is why you won't hear liberals complaining, FRANCE is about to get the contract to build this thing. If France can make some money on it, then it is okay with liberals everywhere...

Mark's Remarks

Of course, France is the Liberal Mecca...Drugs, prostitution, an intrusive government....the liberal dream come true....

I think also there may be anti-Semitism, because why is it liberals always cast Israel as the villian? Aren't they the ones getting terrorized? Hmm....
