Myers troubled by lagging support for Iraq war

PENTAGON Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Richard Myers says he's troubled by a growing disconnect between how American troops who are serving in Afghanistan and Iraq feel about the war there and what the polls suggest Americans at home think.

Myers just returned from the region and he says morale couldnt be higher. He says the vast majority of the soliders he spoke with know why they're there, and after serving for a time, feel more commited to the job than ever.

Myers says soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are concerned about attitudes back at home and they want reassurance that they will be allowed to finish what their country began four years ago.
