Isn't it a contradiction to say GM is safe  " because they [scientists]
know from their own work how robust wild ecologies are in defending
against new genes, no matter how exotic" and then tell us one of the
great uses of GM would be to control invasive species?

Not really, but it does tell us that biological control is not a
trivial task. GM will add to the biological control toolkit, but is no
magic bullet.
