America didn't whip them. The Northern alliance did. We dropped some bombs and the Afghans did all of the heavy lifting. Just like in 79, when Carter started funding the Mujahedin, we are using others to do our dirty work.
Well, now I'm really beginning to suspect that you're being intentionally contrarian.
That, or you're just plain stupid.
The Northern Alliance didn't move for nearly three weeks while U.S. bombing decimated supply lines, aircraft, airfields, armaments, fuel and ammo depots...basically the entire military infrastructure of the Taliban.
WE did the heavy lifting. The NA assaults were essentially mop up operations.
Just like in 79, when Carter started funding the Mujahedin, we are using others to do our dirty work.
Rooting out terrorists IS dirty work, Demigod, but, then, I'm sure you don't like to see your heroes reduced to simpering children.
Are you troubled that the American body count in Afghanistan was not higher? That the numbers at the WTC were insufficient to sate you or something?
Excellent! Less American casulties to rid the world of trash.
We practiced our own version of asymmetric warfare. What you called 'Some bombs', with precision coordinates from our Special Forces designator units were the devastating key to this war and was the only thing that allowed the Northern Alliance to move out of its defensive crouch to aggressively shoot the wounded and collect the other bombed-out prisoners fleeing their 'impregnable fortresses'.
