Iraq deaths were a bigger story because the justification for the war was suspect. While many would argue our long-term strategy in Afghanistan, most agree something needed to be done.
And that being said, I hear about US casualties in Afghanistan all the time in the liberal press. Certainly the exposure has increased as the violence in Iraq has gone down.
I suppose your next rant will be about how this is "Obama's war of choice" and "anyone who's read a history book knows you don't get involved in a land war in Afghanistan."
Actually, what was your point again?
