The war in Afghanistan is seen as a sort of "special" thing in the US, as it came as a sort of counter-strike against the enemy which had a hand in the the attacks. While one may find it rather easy to criticize the war in Iraq, it is much harder to draw fault in the that conflict. Remember that the coverage pretty much narrowed to a trickle after Kabul fell. Not much news other than the occasional small skirmish, although I have come to believe that the US has fractured control north of Kabul and no control in the south.

The closest thing to news concerning Afghanistan that is being air in the US now concerns Tillman.
