Obama certainly shifted the focus from nation building to counter-terrorism, treating Afghanistan and Pakistan as part of the same problem etc...
If you want I can send you my copy of the Bob Woodward book "Obama's wars" which goes into the process in great detail.
I think the pile of dead terrorists with OBL at the top is proof enough you're description is a bit off...
They've been hiding in caves since the USSR leveled all their buildings in the 1980's.
