Maybe they wanted to, but simply failed? One of the bombs did not go off, or something like that.

Exactly. It’s funny how the US war machine fanboys ascribe such perfection it, especially after its glaring failures all over the Middle East.

Seems unlikely. The US has successfully engaged in much more difficult, intricate operations successfully in the past. Here the attacker didn't even have to worry about collateral damage.

A former Navy SEAL was interviewed and stated pipelines are what they called (IIRC) "friendly targets" — it doesn't take much explosive to take them out (I imagine their pressurization helps, but I don't have subject matter knowledge).
