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.
No. We did the heavy bombing on a country that had no air force and no surface to air defense capabilities. Keep pretending to yourself that this is "heavy lifting."
All of the fighting and dying that is going on excepting the occasional helicopter crash and friendly fire incidents are by Afghani peoples.
