Sofia Strickland · Answer 1

President Bush ordered military strikes in Afghanistan because the Taliban had allowed terrorists to operate out of Afghanistan.

Explanation:

The US-led intervention in Afghanistan, officially Operation Enduring Freedom, began on October 7, 2001, in the wake of the September 11 attacks. The official goal of the invasion was to capture Osama bin Laden, exterminate al-Qaeda, and eliminate the Taliban regime that hosted terrorists in its territory.

Following the invasion on October 7, alliance troops entered Kabul on November 13 of the same year. In December 2001, the Department of Defense reported that the Taliban had been defeated but warned that the war would continue to weaken the Taliban and al-Qaeda forces further.
