On the other hand, if you do it unselectively, will you ever have enough resources to do that?

And in fairness, the US does occasionally hit the Islamic militants in Somalia etc. with drone strikes. To be honest, I don't think 100 boots intended for training and intelligence support are going to be any more effective than a predator or two making a hit every once in a while. Or, in other words, not terribly effective at all.
