What's the difference using drones or FBI sharpshooters? If Timothy McVey was known to be on a road with a truck full of explosives intent upon blowing up a building, would the use of a drone to stop him been appropriate?
There is no difference apart from collateral damage. Read what I said. I specifically said the drone itself isn't the issue. It's the use of the drone when there isn't an imminent attack that is the issue.
So asking me what the difference is between a rifle and a drone to foil an imminent attack isn't relevant. Neither one is the point.
It's absolutely true - google "signature" strikes.
Sen. Paul's question was about attacks inside the United States borders. Has anyone performed, authorized or claimed the right to perform "signature" strikes within the borders of the United States?
For months they refused to discuss what their position was at all.
And Sen. Paul started his filibuster about the use of drones within the borders of the United States after he got his answer from AG Holder. Holder's response was within the bounds of long standing U.S. laws on the use of deadly force.

One should know that just because someone can make a claim on the internet it does not make that claim factual.

The Obama doctrine claims the right, it does not preclude signature strikes anywhere in the world.
