I have fire ant mounds that appear in my yard from time to time. Eradicating them is a no brainer. Why doesn't that apply here?

Early on the administration used the swamp metaphor as in "we are draining the middle east swamp" ....I always thought that was a good way to put it

"...Why doesn't that apply here?"
OK. Try it one. Two hezzy lay for weeks on end in a small hole dug into the side of a forested hill, where some rock outcropings are located. The hole is covered with brush.
Every now and then they leave the hole, dragging the crude rocket launching tube out, set it up on the flat rock outcropping, set windage, elevation and pop off a few rockets, then quickly drag the rocket launcher back into the hole. Sit around, drink enough water to survive the heat, eat some goop, and rest. Repeat action the next day. Wait for some guys to hual a few more rockets up to the site next week. Repeat exercise for perhaps a few dozen similiar scenarios in other areas of those over looking ranges and down into the Bekka Valley region.

have you actually eradicated any or just forced them to move their nests?
