A couple of Points:

1. The US got this effort together in less than three weeks with virtually no targeting Intelligence on the ground.
2. Desert Strom, Bosnia and Kosovo had months of planning and tons of targeting Intelligence.
3. There are over 300 airframes in various states of repair, lying around on Airfields in Afghanistan.
