The problem will all these hunting parties is that they’re mainly about propaganda and deflecting attention from a larger failure. We can kill some fish, but not apparently big fish. So the mission gets changed to nation building and the muddling goes on and on.
Are these terrorists a threat? Sure, but so are hurricanes/typhoons/monsoons and they strike more often.
Terrorists become an existential threat only if they acquire serious weapons of mass destruction, so far this is contained, otherwise they’re a bunch of fifth-rate religious wankers who certainly aren’t worth the treasure and blood we’ve spent on not catching them.
