There are places the air force can't reach through, current situation is Iraq for e.g.
Then his quote should not be taken so literally. B52 was used since Vietnam War and will still in service till 2040. However, remember how few video footage are enough to trigger the vanishing all those B52+500,000 troops+supports into thin air (out of the country actually),and by the time it finished, the war fought for more than 10 years, ended within few months.
Similar here. In modern warfare, a mistake is cost by thousands lives. And if US ever make one and by some crazy chance NK can exploit that (even with heavy cost) + good uses of propaganda, the war may be considered as ended(or for US at least)
