1. Source? If he won't then he doesn't need the drones or the power to do so.
2. Really? You won't care until its too late?
Good on him, this drone **** is getting old. It's one thing to go after terrorists, but a drone should never fly over American soil.
Despite cheers from all members of the paranoid conspiracy minded morons who think they follow politics, Rand Paul's filibuster included him eating dinner reading Alice in Wonderland as well as eating various candy bars while joking with Marco Rubio about water... President Obama and Eric Holder were laughing throughout the whole debacle because the very question that Rand Paul spent 14 hours trying to ask, was already answered numerous times by the Administration. President Obama will NOT use Drones on US Citizens. There will be no circumstances where this will be needed! Unless if there is a 9/11 style attack, and then all you libertarians would want them blown out of the sky and will be accusing the Obama Administration of stalling and/or working with the terrorists if it doesn't happen ASAP! You see, he phrases this in a way that makes it seem that Obama is sitting in the oval office and just planning random attacks on random citizens. This was probably more damaging to the Republican Party than George Bush, Sarah Palin, and Oil combined!!! I'm ashamed that more people aren't criticizing Rand Paul for stalling the government for his own personal Television Show!
Let me know when Drones start attacking random people. This falls under black helicopter nonsense.
we are talking about when drones can be used to kill Americans, not to destroy an Aircraft that has been hijacked and is refusing to be detained.
Again, if Americans are killed in an effort to stop an ongoing terrorist plot on our soil, fine.There are American citizens on board the planes or whatever that the terrorists use. So would you want the Obama administration to prevent the death of 3000 Americans as supposed to saving 300?? In the long run, saving those 300 citizens and allowing 3000 more citizens to die while starting two wars and killing 100,000 more US citizens would not be worth saving 300 citizens! Get it? Those are the types of decisions Army Generals make everyday!
If Bush had better drone technology like Obama has got now, who knows where this country would be if we had prevented 9/11!!!
1. Again, if Americans are killed in an effort to stop an ongoing terrorist plot on our soil, fine.
2. I don't really believe their policy ends there.
1. Yes, that's the whole point!
2. So, do you really believe that the Obama Administration will send drones to your house to kill you? If this is the case, you should be able to point to other scenarios where this has happened! You can't.

I fail to see how the issue of John Brennan's nomination as CIA director is relevant to the use of drones within the USA. Don't get me wrong, I think this an important issue that needs to be addressed which could start by revisiting the Posse Comitatus Act

If you fail to see the connection between John Brennan and the counterintelligence use of drones both in this administration and the Bush administration then you don't know anything about John Brennan. Mr. Brennan is the perfect person to bring to a head the issue of this administration's expanded use of drones and the suggestion that drones may be used in the US to murder one or more US citizens. It is doubly important since drone technology was first developed as part of military weapons development and strategy and has been taken over by the CIA as a tool for counterintelligence.
One of the prime enemies of a strong, vibrant democracy is an ignorant and disinterested public.
Brennan stated he does believe the CIA has the authority to kill an American on American soil with a drone.
Or Obama can clarify what he believes the limits on his power are by answering a simple question:
Do you, Mr. President, believe you and your administration have the authority to kill by drone an American citizen without due process on American soil?
The obvious answer is NO, yet all we hear from the WH is silence. Why do you defend a WH that refuses to state what the LIMITS of it's power are?
Brennan stated he does believe the CIA has the authority to kill an American on American soil with a drone.
Exactly, the CIA has no authority on this matter, multiple CIA sources have confirmed this. That authority rests with Congress.
How do you get due process when you are getting shot out of the sky? Just wondering..
Do think a guy that thinks like Brennan does should have any sort of power? Yes or no.
I really don't care or really understand what you mean by power? Brennan of course will have power when he gets in. Are you asking should the CIA have drone access? Yes and I believe they already do. If you are asking should the CIA have the same power Obama wants to target US citizens that are suspected as terrorists? I think that power should be saved for the President and Congress.
I disagree with the drone strikes in the US.
The filibuster has always struck me as childish, though.
Is nobody else worried about these warrantless drone strikes?
No due process is a very bad thing for Americans.
