Actually that was the a combined military force, consisting of more than just the US forces. But, the forces who 'kicked' butt as you put it where all trained during the presidency of Clinton I would wager.
Plus a large portion of the ground assaults were undertaken by the Northern Alliance, not the US military and the first person into Kabul was actually a British reporter from the BBC!!!!
Next days headlines in the UK papers;
John Simmons Liberates Kabul
Bush is no keader of people, he rode into the whitehouse on the back of his fathers name and a rather dodgy count in Florida, thanks Jedd.... He is currently riding the crest of hysteria over the whole 11/09, Terrorism and basically revenge.
Our own Primeminister Blair has done more to rally international support than Bush has. Whistle stop world tour at the beginning. Just yesterday he was in Afganistan, where was Bush??? Has he even left the US since this all started?
Nah he is just born that way, and he is the biggest sinner of them all. Why? Cause he is actually a priest but he breaks all his political promises. In other word he lies and that must be the worst for one who is so dedicated to the bible. In my dictionary he is under the words f****** a****le
And there was me thinking Bush was just sitting on his bum doing nout whilst taking all the credit for the hard work being undertaken by everyone else.
If I had to point to any one person in his administration who was actually doing anything about this then it would have to be Colin Powell.
RC, that John Simmons story was a fake. He apologised for it soon after; he misreported it.
Really, Bush Jnr. may not have the international standing of CLinton, not by a long shot, but he's really not as stupid as some people here are making him out to be. And as far as leading his country is concerned he is doing a superb job.
And Blair is NO fool. Blair is a very adept leader. If he wasn't so adept Labour wouldn't be the bloody problem that it IS.
Blair made a funny quote last week, actually:
"I won't, nor will I ever, make any predictions."
Funny, because saying you will never make a prediction is a prediciton, of course...

Well I watched him on TV leave the advancing Northern Alliance troops behind and walk into Kabul, accompanied by civilians. That wasn't faked as far as I could see.
There were the troops planning their entry into the city and there was Simmons strolling along with all these afgans
Now I know he didn't actually Liberate it, but he was inside the perimeter of Kabul before any troops.
It was funny, because the newspapers ran that report and then the BBC gave a statement that was something like;Hysterical.
