#1 Is this the "cement filled pipeline" or are they branching out?

#2 First of all, like everything in that area, it's tribal. And smuggling is a national sport for both Soddis and Yemenis.

The fence "could" be built though the geography makes it very expensive. And patrolling the fence relies on the Soddi forces being willing to get off their duff's and do some work for a change. My guess is that this is just an extortion attempt and once the right Soddi palms are greased, the issue will disappear.

#4 Damn--they're building fences like they're going out of style all over the Middle East! Time to buy some stock in Home al-Depot.

#5 Just as "there is a difference between Socialist lobotomies and Capitalist lobotomies" (said by a leftist in Cuba), we need to understand there is a difference between an Arab wall and a Jewish/Zionist/Crusader wall.
