#1 I appreciate the effort Kuwait has gone to to make it harder for jihadis and other dirtbags from inflitrating Iraq. Unfortunately, their "electric fence" doesn't extend into the Persian Gulf, and boats can still get through. It's risky, but I'd bet a few make it whenever it's tried. Secondly, there isn't a similar fence between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. It's a long trip from Kuwait, down INTO Saudi Arabia, the back out of Saudiland to Iraq. People determined enough will make the trip.

Maybe the US should advertise just how short an infiltrator's lifespan is. It might slow down the current flow considerably.

#2 I would open a base/prison in the middle of the waste of South/Western Iraq. I would put some of the Gitmo 600 out their to try to attract as many kooks as I could. It might slow some things down in the Sunni triangle.

That is an insanely attractive idea.

#4 Maybe I can get a job at the DOD think tank where all the good ideas get shot down by irate congressional leaders.
