I'd prefer an insertion of commandos based upon sound intelligence to hands-free bombing of the dust trails of Taliban leaders. Commandos and the bombing can work with eachother. Special ops units can direct the bombers, which can pack a more powerful punch then the commandos can. Also the air attack destroys or disrupts military power that could be used against spec ops forces. If the Taliban leaders are not killed but their control is disrupted then they are easier for internal opposition forces or our own special forces to take out. Meanwhile the Al-Qaida people in Afghanistan are spending more time running and hiding from bombers then training new terrorists. Bombing by itself rarely defeats a determined enemy but it can disrupt their operations, preparing the way for a ground attack, and making it more difficult for them to attack you. Tim
