I agree with you. But even wars are political and require some PR.

Sure, but that missile attack on Pakistan was a prime example of a "PR war". America is behind Bush. He should take advantage of that and be brutally efficient. If the Taliban knows just what this "intelligence coup" is (a hiding place, for instance), it becomes abundantly clear to them where they need to concentrate their remaining defenses. That endangers troops, thus hurting morale back home.
