0. Obama ordered that. Not Hillary.

1. That's not a drone strike.

2. That's not an assassination mission. OBL was more valuable alive than dead.

3. Islamibad isn't London and the UK isn't Pakistan. Hard power solutions are for countries that can't control their own airspace and can't/won't be able to capture the person of interest with their own legal/security apparatus. Name one drone strike outside the middle East.
