Some observers believe the Afghani opposition is cautious about any comprehensive military cooperation, so as not to emerge as a U.S. agent. but to desires to function independently.

DOHA, Qatar -- Islam Online
Afghani opposition sources who refused to be named reaffirmed that the Northern Alliance is the party to decide when and how an attack is to be orchestrated, and not the U.S. Secretary of Defense.

In a phone call with IslamOnline, the same sources added they did not want to be engaged in an uncalculated adventure, especially since the Taliban scenario is not clear yet.

They added that they would not accept to play the role of a Trojan horse for the benefit of other parties.

Observers believe that the early days of the U.S.-led attacks against Afghanistan witnessed harmony between leaders of the Afghani opposition and U.S. officials, then that harmony turned into caution, and many contradicting statements were released.
