As stated before, we HAD TO go after Afghanistan. And one thing Bush said
shortly after 9/11 that I agreed with vehemently (and I strongly disliked Bush overall) was "we will make no distinction between the terrorists and those who harbor them." Agree with that 100%
And that meant boots on the ground in Afghanistan, to get Al Queda AND the Taliban, or at the least, that version of it in 2001.
The sin Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld committed was not having an exit strategy and actually thinking we could do nation building there.
