OK, then air/missile bombings should have crippling effects. If they do not it is because target selection is not being done according to your criteria.

Correct? That seems to me the gist of your argument.

Personally I believe there are more likely inherent limitations and trade offs, some obvious, others less so.

That said I would bet quite a bit of money that if you were actually put in charge you would be unpleasantly surprised by how things actually work or do not, as very often is the case.

Bet you you would find yourself in good company too.
