I’d rather see the Saudis spend $70 billion on an idiotic bridge than use it to continue to fund Wahabbi mosques across the U.S. and Europe, spreading their filthy, slimy, 6th century bedouin dogma.

Talk about a bridge to nowhere

Am I the only one who noticed that the bridge isn’t going to Somalia? It’s going to Djibouti, which has a very different relationship with the US. Djibouti is home to Camp Lemonier the only permanent US military base on the continent. It’s still a stupid idea but it’s not a bridge connecting two terrorist havens.

You don’t understand. Building a bridge to nowhere is one of those popular liberal foreign infrastructure projects, paid for by the American tax payer, to jump start sustainable growth in the “third world.” It’ll erase poverty by putting all those would be religious warriors to work, building bridges of cross cultural understanding and empathy. As we’ll know, poverty produces to hate. Why would any self respecting rich Saudi prince spend their own money on regional economic development when the the Americans can so easily be extorted? Give me your money or I’ll blow up your church!

If they have 35% unempluyment, why don’t the take it on with ultra cheap labor. We could give them shovels and wheelbarrows. Most folks do not know the only remaining sector on this planet with slavery is a set of Muslim nations. all other cultures hve left slavery. Of course if slavery is productive, why don’t they apply their prosperity to their infrastructure?

One thing about bridges. They’re easy to blow up.

In a just world, Yemen would be treated like a joke by Comedy Central. There is so much material here.
