Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker rejects a limited, partial victory in favor of total defeat of the real problem. Removing a piece of the threat isn't enough; the whole source has to go. The line pushes for decisive, complete action rather than settling for a symbolic or half-measure win.
