Top counterterrorism official Michael Leiter is stepping down, as the Obama administration crafts a new counterterrorism strategy, Fox News confirms.
A senior counterterrorism official told Fox News that Michael Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, is leaving. There is no "short list" of possible replacements, but White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan is expected to "heavily influence" the search for a new director, the official said.

The senior official said the strategy had to be "slightly adjusted" to factor in the death of Usama bin Laden. The official said the strategy will focus "regionally on threats and groups" under the overarching goal of "protecting the homeland." Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Is it just me, or does it seem as though there are a lot of Obama admin officials stepping down over recent months?

No need for a “new strategy.”
They’re catching all kinds of terrorists by feeling up kids and old ladies at the airport.
Definitely yet another Obama success story.

Obama will probably bring in one of his pals from Hamas, Al-Qaeda, or the Obama Muslim Brotherhood.
