Now's your chance to hypothetically command the most powerful military in the world, and reap the reprecussions of your actions, or inactions. What should be done?

An invasion of where? I mean we are already looking for the man. If we knew where to grab him, we would have done it already.
If he is the person trapped by the Pakistani forces (and American intelligence agents), then we are already doing what we can. If he happens to cross the Afghanistan border, then we will be able to pursue there also.
