The main problem in planning a land campaign to defeat the Taliban, the main sponsors of Bin Laden, is the onset of the Afghan winter. Heavy snows will have closed the passes through the Hindu Kush mountains within six weeks. However, fighting could continue on the plains round the main centres of Taliban power of Kabul and Kandahar.
