Why Paula Broadwell Sent Those Emails

When it comes to grandstanding, few politicians can outdo Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham. A few hours before the Presidents first press conference since the election, this duo had one of their own, demanding a "Water-gate"-like special congressional investigation into the attack on our Benghazi CIA secret prison "consulate." As if at least three congressional committees looking into the matter isnt enough, they want another one just to make sure it comes to the right conclusions.
And what are those conclusions? Its the same Fox News party line that weve been hearing since Day One: according to the wingnuts, the President and his administration deliberately withheld military and security support from the "consulate," and ordered rescue teams to stand down while Ambassador Chris Stevens, and three others, were sacrificed on the altar of the Presidents reelection campaign.
You may ask: why would Obama, then-CIA chief Gen. David Petraeus, and the Pentagon pull such a deadly and heinous betrayal? Although it is never said out loud except by the nuttiest of the wingnuts the clear implication is that the White House is inhabited by traitors. It all makes perfect "sense" if you fervently believe the President is a secret Muslim.
