Rand Paul was just playing to his base.

Is there a difference between the FBI ordering a seige on an armed encapement risking Law Enforcement officers and ordering a drone attack?

Preemptive attacks are wrong in the US or outside of the US. This administration has not done it yet, but the last administration did, and we can only hope the next one will not.

On the surface, absolutely justified. My hatred of drones is no secret. But considering the source, I'm skeptical of his motive. I agree with "agebel" that he was pandering to his base. This afternoon Randy Rhodes pointed out that Rand Paul was the ultimate recipient of money left over from his father's presidential campaign, much of which was contributed by liberals because of Ron Paul's anti-war position. So Rand Paul just might also be pandering to liberals in an effort to attract more contributions from gullible liberals. Frankly, I wouldn't trust the guy as far as I could throw him. - Aliceinwonderland
