#1 If we want to stay there until the job's done, we had better tell Americans why we are there and why we need to stay.

#3 There are some that just want us out (see Code Pink), there are some who don't think we are fighting to win and are just putting our troops at risk (see Rules of Engagement and PO'ed conservatives). In both cases they want us out. I personally think that is short sighted as we will be back to fix the mess we left behind and more lives will be lost than if we stay and finish the job. We have Vietnam as an example for the "Run Away" reflex and it's consequences.
