Even ants go for globalization<g>--"Red fire ants storm Hong Kong's streets"
The city has only a few weeks to get rid of the aggressive pests or be left with a nasty itch that won't go away

They are natural born killers, attacking in huge swarms, stinging victims hundreds of times in a matter of seconds and capable of stripping a baby bird to bare bones.

Red fire ants, which originated in the tropics of South America and have raged in Taiwan and China, are now in Hong Kong. They are one of the most aggressive and fastest-spreading insects known to man.

While other ants bite, they sting. And while most stinging insects sting once then either stop or die, red fire ants can sting again and again.

TV showed a video of the missile attack and the scattered parts of the Hercules C-130. They claim there were 40 men on board.

I don't think they wanted to show it. They did only because another faction was claiming the attack. Something to do with getting more money for a given faction.

That changes the whole picture. Sky is not safe and controlled as it is believed to be.

Soldiers may be using Hercules transport even for a 60 mile trip means ground is not safe. The insurgents are taking the country back.

This changes the whole picture. Ground is not safe to travel. Even a 60-mile trip is being done by plane. Now with missiles available targetting slow, low flying transporter, (C-130 and Stallion Helicopters) forces are stuck. That's why I said US will declare victory and withdraw.
