The Air Force held back on attacking in Afghanistan until they had bases in the "Stans" to the North for plane-crash pickup service. Just too risk-adverse. They should have isolated the battlefield much sooner there. In fact, I don't think they ever really did isolate it. Al Qaeda types were able to escape to Pakistan and Iran by car all the way though the campaign.
