They were leaderless sitting ducks when the ground assault occurred. The Iraqi and the Taliban have a chain of command. When the ground forces appear and no-one higher up is giving any orders because they cannot, the low level grunt assumes the worst and still having ringing ears go to panic real quick. Bombing, even from the US Air Force and Navy with their skill and accuracy, is unlikely to be able to win a war by itself against a foe with any determination or inteligence, however it can as you point out set up a situation where their ability to resist an attack on the ground disappears.
