Just because we didn't go after him with covert military action after the other actions doesn't mean we didn't follow the other paths then. We will never know if we didn't try to infiltrate, and I don't believe we have really ever acknowledged the current power there. And I'm sure we aren't a big supporter of much of anything there already, so the only thing we really support there is humanitarian efforts.
And just because he has gone on to bigger and badder crimes, doesn't mean he can be brought in to pay for those earilier crimes.
Think of it this way. You find out that some cousin of yours accross the country, you know, the one whom you don't really know, and wouldn't if your Grandmother didn't tell you. Well, you found out this One Guy (call him Ben) picked a fight and cut him on the shoulder and he was in the hospital room for it. It's sad, and you're not happy with it, but no big deal. You get over it relatively quickly. Then the next day, you find out that Ben just raped your sister. In your house. Now, it's time to find that SOB and let him know your pain.
I do agree that I wish I knew that we haven't tried other options. But if we have tried the covert things and they failed, would we ever find out? I don't think so. Who knows.
