The war in Afghanistan was more special op's, more clandestine and MUCH less televised. I don't remember any bad press coming out of there, except for when OBL slipped out of the country. There were a lot of precision air strikes, unmanned weapons,etc. Iraq is more mundane, we have more troops on the ground and we are taking many more casualties, all of which leads to bad press which kills support from the home front.
