Ya, lets open a few more fronts while we try to contain Iran...

If we have intelligence on the whereabouts of top al Qaeda leaders in Pakistan then we should quietly just take them out - just like we have been doing.

Let me see if I understand your point.
We pinpoint where Osama and the boys are. We ask Pakistan's permission & they tell us to go pound sand.
We take out Osama and his boys. And then we keep quite about it. We don't tell our citizens that the guys who did what they did to us have finally been brought to justice? The Pakistanis don't know their territory was violated by infidels? They prefer to be learn that we would do that after the fact rather than be told up front?
