"Do you really believe that our military would hesitate one minute to drop what's needed including massive nukes right on that infested nest?" No. "If anything like what's being predicted by them would have an ounce of truth ot it, that very same approach may be the sole viable solution." It isn't the only viable solution. You are like the guy who went hunting in his jon boat. When he motored under a tree, a snake dropped into the boat. Out of all the possible solutions to the problem, like whacking the snake with a paddle or stepping on it, he picked up his shotgun and shot the snake. While it worked, it compromised the integrity of the boat and he went for an unplanned swim. "Anything else as Tim has fairly well pointed out, would be utterly unrealistic." Tim takes the worst case, decides that it would take the maximum possible effort, then decides that cost is too high and leaves it at that. Which isn't a fair assessment. It is a typical Austrian School approach of coming to a problem having decided what the solution is and picking the data to support the conclusion. Much as you and Harris do.
