We're talking M1A2 Abrams tanks, not crummy WWII tanks. These tanks are designed to be "capable of engaging the enemy in any weather, day or night on the multi-dimensional, non-linear battlefield using its firepower, manuever, and shock effect" (sorry, I couldn't put it in any better terms than what was written on a website.
Weighing in at over SIXTY NINE tons, these tanks are remarkably agile. With a governed speed of over forty miles per hour, these monsters are capable of meeting and destroying their targets quickly and effectively.
The tanks are armored with steel-encased depleted uranium 2.5 times the desity of steel, and designed to blow outward in the case of shell penetrating. The crew of the tanks are nuclear, biological, and chemical protected, and all crew members have protective suits they can also wear.
Abrams tanks also take advantage of communication systems to enhance their lethality. By coordinating their attacks with the aid of satellite, air, and other tank information resources, the tank commanders can operate their tanks in coordination with other tanks like a pack of wolves.
Furthermore, Abrams tanks have extremely versatile target acquisition systems that take advantage of such systems as infrared, night vision, turret stabilization and other devices.
Of the over 1800 Abrams tanks sent to Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Storm, only 18 suffered service-halting damage, of which nine were in repairable condition. Not a Abrams crewman died. Iraq had quite a few modern Soviet tanks as well as many older models.
I think they will be quite effective.

That's why we will probably work with the rebels. They know the land and would certainly appreciate some of the extra firepower we can provide.

And gee, they can't do much from in there can they? It'll keep them relatively dormant.

Mines maybe, but molotov cocktails are not effective against our tanks.

IF they're captured.

We're not going there to root out desert raiders. If anything we'll back the rebels or other groups that want to take over the area. That is always safer because we won't need to install a new government if the current one is defeated. However I really don't think our goal is to oust the Taliban. We'll instead take out some of the major headquarters of known terrorist groups, and assist other groups in helping to take out the straglers.
