Bombing Hasn’t Worked. Bombing Won’t Work. And Yet, We Will Bomb

Actually, the right kind of bombing does work to great effect. Namely fuel/air bombing. It's also cheaper than conventional bombing.

The bomb detonates at an altitude over the target area and literally blankets it in fire, not necessarily destroying all the infrastructure. Couple this with perimeter napalm runs for a couple of hours and if the heat doesn't kill the enemy, suffocation most certainly will. Less ground troops to mop up the stragglers. Time these bombings for maximum effect. Saw these used whilst in the military. They do work and they work well. Does the West have the mettle and will to deploy them, though?

Bombing does work well - for the arms industry though.
