I respectfully suggest that this attack is proof that the war hasn't been won, and therefore we should not withdraw. This was an act of war, and it really is irrelevant whether the organization against which we are fighting this war is a terrorist group such as al Qaida or an enemy nation recognized as sovereign by the international community. The rhetorical issues you raise result from the pusillanimous reluctance of liberals/Democrats to call a war a war. Instead we get bullshiit about attacks on our embassies being the result of spontaneous protests over a video no one knew existed until the WH tried to scapegoat it and calls for civilian trials for Gitmo "detainees" who are really prisoners of war.
