Strategic. You can call it effective, but the actual facts suggest otherwise. E.g., our decapitation strikes against Hussein at the start of the war didn't.

As for WWII, I can certainly think of two strategic bombing attacks that were extremely effective, and many, many tactical bombing attacks that were not.
