As we've seen in Iran, the US lacks the missile stockpile to carry out an extended bombing campaign and air power alone can't force a surrender. Part of the reason why is US military hardware is excessively expensive as a gift to corporate contractors. The US doesn't have the manpower to fight a real war either and the government is deathly afraid of deploying ground troops because mass casualties are politically untenable. So we bomb 'til we can't no more.
