President Obama acknowledged Tuesday that his Taliban prisoner swap could blow up in his face — or somewhere else around the globe.
The five hardened terrorists sprung from Guantanamo Bay for suspected deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s return could rejoin the jihad on America, the President conceded in defending his decision.
“Is there a possibility of some of them trying to return to activities that are detrimental to us? Absolutely,” Obama told a news conference in Warsaw.
“That’s been true of all the prisoners that were released from Guantanamo. There’s a certain recidivism rate that takes place.”
A top Middle Eastern official said officials in Qatar would do little to hinder the terrorists.
The unidentified official told Reuters that the Taliban leaders had already moved into a residential compound in the capital, Doha, and could “move around freely” within the nation. The source said the terrorists will not be treated like prisoners and U.S. officials will not be allowed to monitor them.

“Mullah Salem Khan, a Taliban commander in Afghanistan, said the men were already bracing for battle. “As soon as they arrived in Qatar, they rejoined the Taliban,” he told The Daily Beast website. “We don’t care about U.S. conditions and obstacles.””
I am actually surprised that Obama said that. Normally he is mealy mouthed when he tries to hid the truth.
Well, at least the unvetted TYRANT-by-fraud
and the EXEMPT Congress will be very, very protected.
Other citizens, now with targets on their backs?
not so much.
So Clown Prince nobama thinks it is just ducky that more terrorists are allowed to kill American troops? What a complete putz. The traitorous bum should be in prison, then exiled.
Well, it doesn’t put HIM or Chuck Hagel or any other Washington insider at risk. The only people who are at risk are those who work as secretaries, janitors and commodity traders in skyscrapers and folks who ride Economy Class.
He said we’ll just go pick them back up. Ya know? No big deal.
Traitorobama: “Sure I gave aid and comfort to the enemy. But as Hillary says, ‘What difference does it make?’”
True however - there are other statements he's made over the years that go right over the heads of the people, such as "fundamentally transform America" - "my energy policy would cause rates to sky rocket" - "these five could absolutely cause harm to the United States"
In every instance, and more - he and his shills could / would say "we told you this would happen, why are you surprised"?
And the sheeple won't think twice about it.......
It is going to be a long 2 years. He is getting more arrogant and making risks to the United States which of course is dangerous. When he was never accountable for anything the last 6 years, it makes you invincible. I see it with my kids on occasions. You overlook something small and soon they are taking bigger chances....of course we don’t allow it to go too far but people in general will see how far they can go to get away with things at least children do until they mature. Obama never had the basic training in life so he feels that as long as he gets away with things everything is great. I think he is going to do something that DEFINITELY will not be able to be ignored even by the Democrats before his term is done. The biggest blame goes to the media.
It is so odd that he can say those statements out in public (basically) and if you ask the average person they wouldn’t know a thing and that is after he says them. So strange. Either people are sleeping or not paying attention. They are documented so they are available for all.
Resignation. If he doesn’t do it, we should force it.
He would be by now if the majority of senate Demonrats were not complete putzes as well.
They are not paying attention at all but the MSM is complicit is making sure the nuance’s are not highlighted and yep, it’s all there to grasp once people want to grasp it.
With this bunch just released I’m guessing there is going to be much smaller car bomb and IED type terrorist attacks, there is going to be many more attacks, and the attacks are going to be much more random and spread across the entire country.
it's because the media controls what we hear, see and read. They want us to know about kanye and kim, tea partiers are bad and RATS are good.
The Media - Left Wing - Democrat Complex has so successfully infiltrated so many moles into the United States government that it has undermined all of the protections enumerated in the Constitution. I have no confidence that any current member of the three branches of government is capable of acting rationally and/or consistently when the country is faced with crisis.
baraq is setting the table for more terrorist attacks while he and his tribe are still in power.
All while his civilian army is armed up just as he promised.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Going to be a rough couple of years going forward.
