Cut off the head of a snake and it dies. Cut off the head of a Hydra and Butch Cassidy steps in.
Yet again, the point is a power play. I highly doubt we needed to deploy the biggest non nuclear bomb in combat history to carry out this attack, especially when we have cheaper bombs designed to crumble tunnels and underground infrastructures.
You keep flip-flopping from casualties to power play. In both case all I can say is that your opinion is noted.
