They need to cut off a lot more than the head.

I would agree, killing the leaders and their replacements until the inexperience hurts the group is a start.
Its time to go after the countries that are funding these groups. Yes the Saudi's are supposed to be on the side of the States, as are other nations like Pakistan, but they're playing their own games.
Cut off all funding to those nations and seize their back accounts and stop buying their oil.
Arrest and expel members of these groups doing recruiting in Western Nations, if they're citizens either expel them or if they're born here imprison them for ever.
Combine special forces with air assets and naval assets, put a ton of money into intelligence in the region.
As a former Special Forces Operator said in one of his books, the best way to fight terrorists is to terrorize them, to fight a meaner nastier war with them. To get them on the run and make them hear foot steps. While they're committed to martyrdom, there's nothing the matter with helping them on the way in the most gruesome and humiliating way possible.
