It looks like they didn't have control of the perimeter of the building (seeing how so many terrorists were able to escape). They chose a frontal assault, weren't sneaky enough.
I think they could have done more to minimize casualties. I'm no expert on this, but I think they were just a tad too deliberate. I don't disagree with their decision to raid the place. I'm just not convinced that they couldn't have saved more lives. On the other hand, it was a gutsy call and I'm sure it saved lives.
