Turn the situation around just a bit. Bank robbers, muggers, rapists, embezzlers, pirates, and kidnappers have the same training issues. There is not a country in the World that would attack another nation to catch those kinds of bad guys; we use police work and police methods to catch those perps and it works!

Why wouldn't we use the same techniques to catch terrorists, who are, after all, just another bunch of bad guys?

They would. Not particularly well, but they would be more efficient than a military action.
