#1 They might want to consider a similar force for the border with the Soddies, an equally untrustworthy neighbor.

#2 Sounds like the Iraqis get it. This is a good start...we need more. When the reports start coming in about Iraqi security forces helping to toe-tag the foreign boomers at the border, we'll know we really have something going - and so will the terrorists.

#3 The Jordan border may be even more important than the Saudi border. The road capacity is almost as great as Syria and even if the King of Jordan isn't a terrorist, a lot of his subjects are and even more guests of his subjects are terrorists.

#6 I would like to see the MOAB and the high tech rifle I saw on the Discovery tried out in this enviroment. You can shoot exploding rounds to knock out jihadis that are hiding behind walls.

#7 Maybe we should sub-contract these guys when things straighten out over there. The Yuma border-area sure could use 'em.

#8 They might want to consider a similar force for the United States border with Mexico.....
