They tried it twice, and it failed. Orb's forces rebuffed them and just went merrily to their deaths on the orders of that dipshit Yuna. Even if the Cagalli clique thought the whole thing was a waste of lives, the troops went through with the attack and got pulverized by ZAFT: the Orb fleet was destroyed in Crete and didn't show up as part of any subsequent battles with the Alliance.
