Answer: To defeat Al-Qaeda and the Taliban

Explanation: After the 9/11 terrorist attack, US authorities with President Bush were determined to defeat Al-Qaeda and Osama bin-Laden as the organizers of the theoretical attack. Although none of the terrorists involved in the 9/11 attack were from Afghanistan, the Taliban provided support and refuge for Al-Qaeda. President Bush stressed that if the Taliban do not deliver Al-Qaeda leaders, they will face the same fate as Al-Qaeda.
