"end war on terror"

(Reuters) - Twelve years after the "war on terror" began, President Barack Obama wants to pull the United States back from some of the most controversial aspects of its global fight against Islamist militants.

What Mister Obama refuses to acknowledge is that while the US, and the West in general, does not want to be 'at war with Islam', a significant portion of Islam is at war with the West, and will be no matter what "we" do.

As was demonstrated by the London killers and their Cleric mentor.

In a long-awaited speech at the National Defense University, Barack Obama claimed that the nature of international terror attacks threatening the United States has changed since Sept. 11, 2001, with 'no large-scale attacks' on America occurring since then.

But his definition of 'large-scale attacks,' his speech made clear, doesn't include the 2013 Boston Marathon attack that wounded hundreds, the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that injured dozens and killed four, and the 2009 attack at Fort Hood that killed 13 and injured 30.

All those attacks had the potential to leave far more American bodies in their wake than they actually did.

Thought Boston was Russians?

By nationality, no. They were born in Chechnya, which is a former Soviet republic, but is not "Russia".

They were both radicalized Muslims.
