Afganistan Attacks

In headlines I would have expected more during Pres. Bush's administration (which may reflect my prejudice) most of the major news outlets are talking about the the 7 suicide bombers - but the headlines are about the attacks, not about what seems to me to be more important - the attacks all failed as a result of Afgan security forces taking action. The headlines don't even imply this was a victory, when it obviously was - see, for example:
The Guardian - http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/26/taliban-afghanistan-khost-attack
CNN International - http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/07/25/afghanistan.wrap/
and
AP - http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hvWEqwq3CrRvaQCmt21MfoYhjZJQD99LMNAO4
