A: cluster bomb munitions are pretty cheap, and we have lots because we don't generally use them.
B: what do you think the effect on the deficit would be if Islamist nutjobs get their hands on Syrian chemical weaponry?
A. The cost is in sending over and maintaining a military force. Fuel. Soldiers. Billion dollar planes. Food. Etc.
B. And if that is the worry then we might as well invade or attack Iran, any Muslim nation from the old USSR that has ties, Pakistan... and really, any nation that has any weapon because as you say in A... cluster bombs and other conventional weapons are pretty cheap and we can see from Mumbai and all the terror bomboings around the world that they are fairly effective.
