Obama surrenders America and the West to radical Islam - US taken downfrom war footing to appease the enemy

A new study shows terrorist strikes have surged as U.S. drone strikes have plunged since May, when the president announced he was taking America off "perpetual war footing."

As the House intelligence committee chief warns, "This is no time to retreat." Yet that's exactly what our commander in chief is doing.

The threat of terrorism is "not diminishing," warned GOP Rep. Mike Rogers, head of the intel panel. "There have been counterterrorism changes made by the administration that have concerned us all."

Those changes went into effect May 23, after President Obama gave a speech at the National Defense University in Washington declaring a "new phase" in the drone campaign against terrorist targets in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia - the one thing Obama has heretofore done right in the ongoing war he won't name.

Reacting to criticism from Muslim-rights groups, he vowed to curb the use of drones to "avoid civilian casualties."

"The use of force must be seen as part of a larger discussion we need to have about a comprehensive counterterrorism strategy - because for all the focus on the use of force, force alone cannot make us safe," he said.

"We cannot use force everywhere that a radical ideology takes root; and in the absence of a strategy that reduces the wellspring of extremism, a perpetual war - through drones or Special Forces or troop deployments - will prove self-defeating, and alter our country in troubling ways."

Obama then announced the U.S. would shift to a new strategy of winning Muslim hearts and minds.

"So the next element of our strategy involves addressing the underlying grievances and conflicts that feed extremism - from North Africa to South Asia," he said.

To the joy of our enemy, Obama has followed through on his word. "We have limited the use of drones," he confirmed last week in his speech to the United Nations.

In fact, drone strikes have fallen off sharply. According to the Long War Journal, the U.S. this year has launched just 23 drone strikes in Pakistan - half 2012"s rate and a fraction of 2010"s peak of 117.

Not coincidentally, the tempo of terrorist activity has surged over the same period. According to the West Point Combating Terrorism Center, there have been more than 60 terror attacks around the world just since this July, the last one on a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, which killed 68.
