Think of Al-Qaida as if they were one of the Gangs in a City.
The Law Enforcement cannot just barge in and start killing the Gang Members.
So even if it is expensive and a never ending job.
The result is that while the Gang is never eradicated but Law Enforcement does effect a retardation of the Gangs ability to operate.
So If I followed Your logic I would say since Law Enforcement cannot defeat the Gangs Money and other resources are wasted and We should leave the Gang alone.
I think logic like that would just allow the Gang to grow exponentially.

A good example would be Chicago in the 20's. Al Capone and those like him took care of the Police and the Police looked the other way. Everything was great unless you were a small businessman Capone was shaking down for 10% of your profits as 'insurance' money each week.
