RAND & CRUZ ARE SHOWBOATING

They are introducing a bill to prohibit the US from using a drone to strike any American who isn't an imminent threat despite getting this letter from AG Holder:

Sorry. We need more showboating. We need enough showboating to grind the whole duopoly power structure to a paralysed halt.

As for Holder, who would trust him to decide what "warring" against the US was?

Greenwald isn't satisfied either.
I'm pissed at Paul for going to Israel and expressing sympathy for the settlements, but maybe he had to appease his Kentucky briar Dispensationalists who believe
God is regathering the Jews to (Palestine) so Christ can come again on a steed and war against the heathen Russians and Chinese with all the then converted Jews
at Armageddon, lol.

Ken - Rand began with a serious point then proceeded to pour Bagger poop all over it. He also failed to note that overseas attacks are also a real problem.

I would, based on his testimony.

Crockford makes clear why he wouldn't.

Paul should start calling names---start saying for example, Lindsay Graham is a prime example of Hagel being right about wimps being afraid of the Zionist Lobby. Graham will of course deny he's a wimp but Paul can use a good fight to start delineating between the
failed GOP hawks, who still defend Iraq for example and are pressing for another fiasco with Iran...and the growing GOP flock who are come to realizing that American cannot continue doing Israel's bidding, and that of the mi complex in general.

I buy S Brennan's comment re Holder. Bill H's below, I grant you, not particularly convincing.
