RE:"I think there may be very little civilian damage. I think we will go after the government first and not try to get OBL right away. First off finding him may be too difficult at this time and secondly, it'll send a clear message to other governments in other countries to expell terrorists or they'll be next. Look for kidnappings and firefights by special forces concentrating on the government and not the military."

You do realize the downside to all this? The US (seen as a Christian nation and one that helps Israel) will be invading and occupying Islamic territory. Bin Laden has already mobilized some of Islam based on the US occupying "sacred" Muslim territory namely in Saudi Arabia.
Don't expect everybody other there to be happy about any long term occupation...and waiting out the Winter.
Quick strikes against selected targets will likely be the first course of action...ground troups later if necessary...
