U.S. troops build wall of sand around Iraqi town By Ghazwan al-Jibouri
2 hours, 20 minutes ago

U.S. soldiers fed up with almost daily bomb attacks on their patrols near Iraq's main oil refinery are taking drastic measures to fight their shadowy enemy -- they're walling in an entire town.

Army bulldozers have begun building giant sand embankments around Siniya, a town of 50,000 close to the northern oil refining city of Baiji. When finished it will be 10 km (6 miles) long and more than 2 meters (nearly 8 feet) high.

I wish another country was doing this......then I could laugh at their desperation.
