"The Al-Qaida network is a global network. They've got cells all over the world, and there's no reason for us to believe at this stage that this operation is about to end. A far more appropriate way to look at it is, this is a very good beginning to what's likely to be a long struggle."

"We will hold those who harbour terrorists, those who provide sanctuary to terrorists, responsible for their acts. If you're going to provide sanctuary to the likes of Osama bin Laden, you are then going to accept the responsibility, in our eyes, for any acts he commits against the people of the United States of America, and you will face the full wrath of the people of the United States of America. And I think, (applause), I think this morning, in the fate that has befallen the Taliban, there is proof positive if anybody has any questions about whether or not we're determined to carry through on that threat, all they have to do is go visit Afghanistan today and interview members of the Taliban, if they can find any."

STORYLINE:
US Vice President Dick Cheney said on Wednesday that the rout of the Taliban in Kabul and other major cities in Afghanistan should only be regarded as the start of the campaign.
Speaking to a Chamber of Commerce gathering in Washington, Cheney said recent events showed that the US is serious about what he described as the "Bush doctrine" - one that holds governments responsible for the activities of the people they shelter.
He said the Afghan militia has lost control of most of the cities there - and that many Taliban soldiers have been killed or captured, or have fled to the hills.
The vice president spoke as officials reported a continuing rout on the ground in Afghanistan, with Taliban forces also losing control of the airport in their stronghold of Kandahar and possibly preparing to abandon Jalalabad as well.
