How would that be achieved? It's not like the government has everything under control in their own country. The militants won't back down just because you kill some of them. The collateral damage would probably be greater than the actual losses of the Taliban and their sympathisers, which in return will increase their numbers. Remember moral bombing in WW2? Didn't work at all no matter which side used it.
I actually don't see much of a chance for winning this anymore if we don't use alternative resupply routes and close the border to Pakistan in a Berlin Wall style.
