Say that you have developed a cancerous tumor in the bones of your foot. The surgeon doesn't just go in there and nibble at it, they take off the whole damn foot and part of the leg with it. Gotta take off some "good" tissue with the bad, to make sure you got it all.
So we hear that some douchebag terrorist is hiding in a small village near the base of a mountain. Don't just send in an MQ-9 Reaper drone to drop a single hellfire missile right onto his pillow while he's asleep, just have the nearest Ohio-class submarine toss a half-dozen Trident-II SLBMs at him. Make the whole village go away, and take half the mountain with it. In fact, don't even target the village- launch the missiles at the opposite side of the mountain, and just fold the whole thing over. That way, future archaeologists can have something interesting to dig up.
Can't risk missing part of the infection!
Do that a couple of times, and the very concept of "harboring a fugitive" will cease to exist. Because we're not just coming after you, we're coming after everyone you've ever known, all of their sons and daughters, their livestock, the rickety cart that they push into town and back every day, and the French missionaries who were trying to help them build a hospital and teach them how to grow twenty acres of corn with just a teaspoon of water a year.
The instant some village elder hears that somebody who might have been accused of doing something that the Americans might have even possibly misinterpreted as being a little bit like terrorism is walking towards their village, they will immediately raise every man, woman and child to run out and confront this person before he comes anywhere near the village, whereupon they will immediately kill him, cut off his head, and then hike 500 km across the desert to deliver it, in a gift-wrapped box, to the US embassy. If they know what's good for them, they will also include a nice little basket of various soft cheeses.

^That is why we *generally* don't just bomb the sh*t out of every aria that we expect has a terrorist in it, you can not replace boots on the ground. Can you accomplish a lot of stuff with Hellfire missile fired from a drone? Yeppers, but collateral damage can be high and you can not accomplish everything like that.
Although, I do like cheese...

You just have to wipe out every other living thing within a twenty mile radius of the target, and make sure that everyone knows WHY you had to do it.
Once that's accomplished, the local population will take care of removing potential targets from their midst all by themselves.

Best part about it is that we seriously considered it at one point.

That's what I'm talking about. Massively disproportionate use of force.

He said the most effective way is to simply spray it with pig fat from a helicopter/drone or the like and just drop some pamphlets from the same helicopter explaining who's at fault.
