Rand Paul DID NOT say he was for drone strikes, he said SURVEILANCE
using them to search for the bombers with infra red is no different than the helicopters that were doing it
he said nothing about drone STRIKES - but they immediately jumped on him as if he did
He basically said all citizens are the property of the government, and they can do whatever they want with their property.
“I’ve never argued against any technology being used when you have an imminent threat, an active crime going on,” Paul said. “If someone comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and fifty dollars in cash. I don’t care if a drone kills him or a policeman kills him.”
Sounds like he’s ok with a bit more than just surveillance here.
