Actually that's not entirely true. Standoff munitions will give a B-52 some capability against a lower end IADS. (not SA-10-class obviously).
Plus there's always F-teens, B-1/2s, F-117s and now F-22As.
Besides, if history is any measure, the enemy IADS and air threat will have been reduced well before the need for CAS.
