Your sympathy for al-Qaida terrorists is moving.
Even a small mission such as this cost the tax payers at LEAST $10 million. Hell we moved an aircraft carrier to the area for support. Not much of an ROI if you only kill "up to" 10 lower ranking terrorists.

A dead terrorist is a dead terrorist, but these strike missions can get costly. We'd want them to be as effective as possible.

No argument with that. They were clearly hoping to get some important terrorists here. It appears they successfully hit a terrorist cell but unfortunately the big dawgs escaped.
