Was outright regime change ever really the USA's goal for Afghanistan?

Like they went in because the Taliban was harbouring Al Queda and wouldn't give up Bin Laden. Booting the Taliban at that time was just a consequence to their goal of destroying Al Queda.

If the Taliban gave up Bin Laden and the other Al Queda people, would the US still have invaded and taken over like they did?

The did at least accomplish heavy destruction of Al Queda. The question is, will something more radical now take its place?
