I don't believe the Kabul government really has much influence in the

we failed in TB because scum bag bush refused to send in US troops

This started as a quiet hit on Bin Laden but by the time he got to
Tora Bora that was not going to work. Bush didn't want another war.

Bush didn't want another war? Are you sure? After all, he was "listening" to
his generals (until they contradicted Rumsfeld anyway).
