Better surveillance, send in a drone to check out the house. We have the technology why are we not using the intelligence gathering to the full extent on possible targets? What I think happened someone said "Concrete building, well fortified, high probability so and so is in the area", the decision making was OK send in the bombs, and if not they will not they will not be able to hide there later. Could also have waited until marines are in the area to raid and search possible houses. They have been risking there lives doing this thing throughout much of the war there was no need to bomb a populated area for 1 man. Sometimes I feel the bombing and shooting is being done blindly yet we boast of all kinds of technology to minimize death.
Now if they sent in a few drones to see who and what were in the buildings than this could have been avoided.
I actually agree with Timber on things being rushed but the whole thing was rushed from the start.
