If you argue that they didn't want to send a missile or launch any ordinance into Pakistan, I understand that. You don't want to go blowing up someone else's backyard to kill a mole eating the plants in your yard. But didn't the SEALS snipe a pirate while sitting on a rocking boat and the pirate was also on a rocking boat...on rough seas? Send a .50 cal up range and vaporize the dude.
