:02:08
The time has come
to go to war again.
:02:11
Not with Iraq, international terrorists,
or what was once Yugoslavia...
:02:16
but with the medfly...
:02:18
a potentially devastating insect...
:02:20
that has chosen to make
California its new home.
:02:24
Despite assurances that spraying poses
no significant health risks to the public...
:02:29
the public is not convinced.
:02:32
People sense they're being
kept in the dark purposely.
:02:35
Furthermore, there is
no consensus...
:02:38
as to whether the objectives
are even realistic.
:02:41
Is this a war that can be won?
:02:44
Some say no.
:02:46
Are we just going through the motions
so certain people can cover themselves?
:02:50
- Honey, it's on!
- Some say yes.
:02:53
- Okay, I'm coming.
- How is this war fought?
:02:56
It's like fishing.
We use bait.
:02:59
Actually, the bait is spread over
our city at night, like a glaze.
:03:04
This is very discriminate bait...
:03:06
- Do you have to wear your glasses on TV?
- like smart bombs...
:03:08
that destroy one thing,
but nothing else.
:03:11
The bait attracts the hungry,
newly hatched medflies...
:03:15
and poisons only them.
:03:18
The war's objective is clear.
:03:20
To destroy the medfly before
it has a chance to destroy us.
:03:53
All right.
:03:58
Look over there.
