Wrong, the don't mention Afghanistan because things are going incredibly bad there. War lords control most of the country outside the capital and the pipeline route, and the elections were a complete joke. Bush just denied 200 million in emergency funding for Afghanistan, while giving another 80 billion dollar handout to the war profiteers in Iraq. This is what you don't hear about that war, and why you don't hear it. Out of sight, out of mind. It's also why they don't report ANYTHING when America engineers a coup, like in Venezuela.
If you don't think the mainstream US media is glamorizing even the war in Iraq, try watching real news reports on international stations for a while.
