Why Did He Do It Now?

Hitler's Mustache                WHY?   Here's the real question.  Why?  Why now?  Obama knew that by giving congress a 30 minute heads-up, instead of the by-law required 30 days, there would be a firestorm.   This was always going to be for him a lose-lose political action, and yet he did it anyway.  Why?  I've had stuff swirling about in my minimalist brain, and this is the best I could come up with. Obama has planned a "terrorist action" so devastating that he can use it to declare martial law- a total lock down- and rule imperiously.  I mean more imperiously than usual.  A glitch of some kind developed, and his al-Qaeda benefactors desperately needed leadership from the likes of the Gitmo Dream Team.  The pretext, also suggested by his "advisors," was a swap for Taliban captive, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.  It's likely that Obama did not anticipate that Bergdahl's back story of treason and desertion would be noticed, if he even knew himself.  Gird-up! By the by, here's the most precious (and oh-so telling) thing in the aftermath. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned Wednesday that Republican lawmakers would call for President Obama’s impeachment if he released more prisoners from Guantanamo Bay without congressional approval. Your turn. HEADS-UP ! Metzger seems to have found a partial explanation
