Bombing in attacks like this is a double edge sword both Politically and Strategy wise. On the one hand we are after the what we 'perceive' to be the leadership of Terrorist Group and give it the publicity for free that it could get by itself. While on the other hand, there is the collateral damage we are doing, and the civilian population that is getting injured and killed for just being there. Their families and friend may understand our position, but it is unlikely, and we are just giving the organization some future recruits to send out to come out after us as refugees. So there is good valid point to refuse to bring refugees to the U.S. at this time without having time to vetted them else where. Also it makes us look bad on the humanity aspect to the world, yes I know the deal. Yet, we are always standing up pointing the finger, at others, we have to expect them to point the finger back at us, when they see time to point it. We have to accept accountability and Responsibility for it, if we expect them to be held accountable and take Responsibility in their own faults.

Having all the Air Power, and all the Drone don't mean squat until you have boots on the ground to confirm what and who you have killed. That can take it form in many type of units depending on the situation at hand. Beyond that, the only other correct option to deal with situation like this, and very unpopular one would be to use Nuclear Warhead. It would send a very clear and pronounce signal to these groups, and anyone in the future who wanted to hid them. We will use whatever force that needs to be done to eliminate that threat. Isreali have used that unspoken threat for years, and it has work. It worked for year during the Cold War, beside the MAD theory. These organization believe they can pick on us, instead of Isreal, because we are afraid in using our device, due to the making everyone paranoid. All it would take is few phone calls, and President with a set, telling the World Leaders, 'Hey we are going to do this, Sit down and Shut up!' They don't have to like, they don't have to accept it, and like they will understand why it was done. The main problem is once it done, you open the door for everyone to use a nuclear device for small conflicts. Which is the number one reason why we, and Isreali's haven't gone off to use one when we could of easily used one to hit some of the top people in these organizations in the last 30 years.
