A former U.S. intelligence official, who worked on covert operations throughout the Middle East and Latin America, claims the scuttlebutt among Beltway security experts is that there may be an a abrupt end to the freedom of the Taliban terrorists released from Guantanamo Bay's detention center, he intimated on Sunday.
"With all the negative publicity generated by [President Barack] Obama's Taliban prisoner swap for an Army sergeant, Bowe Bergdahl, the Commander in Chief is being offered plans for covert operations to 'terminate with extreme prejudice' the five terrorists now living relatively free in the Arab nation [of] Qatar," said the deep background intelligence source.
Qatar's Al Udeid Air Base is home to the United States Central Command and United State Air Force Central Command. It would not be difficult to bring in a squad of special forces troops to launch a covert operation to kill the newly released five Taliban members especially since they are being allowed to roam that nation and are even heralded as heroes by some of the Qatari people, he said.
"Obama's releasing of Taliban detainees from the U.S. prison in Gitmo [Guantanamo Bay, Cuba] without notifying the appropriate member of the House and Senate has led to Republicans calling the prisoner swap the beginning of the end of the controversial military detention center and the continued release of detainees back to Middle Eastern nations," said political strategist Mike Baker.
Baker said he would not be surprised if Obama decides to demonstrate that should any of the detainees he releases return to the battlefield, they will be killed. He also points to Obama's alleged narcissistic character trait that make him prone to seeking adulation of others and avoiding criticism....

That would sure stir things up.
Could have shot them in their cells in Gitmo,would have saved a lot of trouble.....
Political decision after the outrage of the swap of 5 terrorists for one deserter.
And the cost of the flight to Qatar.
Should have put them down in Afghanistan in the first place.
Wow....the postcard is the perfect touch for this thread....
I bet that not too many more prisoners will be taken there.
Yeah but this way the drone drivers might get a little muzzie plinkin’ fun time in!! (”Run you camel humpers....RUN!! You ain’t hidin’ from me bitches! Okay, Missile away”!)
There has never been a good way to deal with “prisoners” taken in asymmetrical warfare long term.
I was hoping that there was something radioactive in their farewell milk and cookies...
Love it.
Clickbait. Not biting.
The action would be admission of error.
Obama doesn’t admit mistakes. He doubles down and moves on.
The problem with this article is that it is illegal to simply kill someone in a friendly country which has diplomatic relations with the US. Not that this would bother Obama, but it would set off a diplomatic nightmare that he would have no ability to deal with.
Prisoners in a war where we don’t actually defeat the enemy will always be a problem.
After WWII we released POWs to nations that were truly beaten and even if the POW wanted to continue the fight, he would find little support among his countrymen.
Those plans aren't covert anymore! Dummies.
