Actually, any ground-attack platform can carpet-bomb. It's a mere matter of piling enough explosives densely enough onto a target position. Submunition weapons, which are to carpet bombing what a throw rug is to wall-to-wall, are a more weapon-efficient tool for carpet bombing, and you can find references to trying to clear unexploded submunitions out of the battle areas in today's newspapers -- an AP wire, for instance, headlined "Explosives pose danger to refugees returning to south Lebanon."
