When you want to get the ants out of your kitchen, you don’t spray poison on the kitchen.

You break the trail before they get to the kitchen, and the ants disappear.

This is what France is doing.

I'd prefer a multi-front attack. On their side (Muzzie neighborhoods), sinking all refugee boats (don't even try getting to the West) in the Med, and as many North African sites you can muster (Libya, Lebanon, Syria, etc.) Do you know that the US doesn't have an aircraft carrier in the Med for the 1st time in a long time?

Under Obama, the US is a limp wristed pantywaist.

But it seems that they already knew where the mound was - why did they wait for this terror event in Paris to destroy the mound?

"When you want to get the ants out of your kitchen..."

They're bombing the anthill. If there's actually a colony there they might even kill a few, but the rest will scurry off, maybe even join those in the house.

My exterminator puts out traps and bait. Kills all in the house, then places a barrier around the house so no more can get in.
