The plan they are working on was clearly never intended to be used like this. US military planners know full well that airstrikes only cannot achieve regime change. The original plan certainly called for a follow up ground invasion and occupation, similar to the Iraq war. Some genius must have decided that they could just chop off that part of the plan and get all of the benefits with none of the risk.
