Page 13 - Hellfire Missile News Today

They are on the rise all over north africa. they are in iraq again in training camps. they are in field, coming to syria in huge numbers. so to somehow think that this isnt going to be a long twilight struggle with these people, of which intelligence is a vital aspect of, is a gross misreading of the situation as we see al qaeda resurging all over the middle east and in other parts of the world as well. >> lets turn to drones, and in particular, senator rand pauls epic 13-hour filibuster which y...

Charges stick, but they shouldnt just drop a hellfire missile on your cafe experience. >> well, senator john mccain took to the senate floor late yesterday to mock rand paul and his young libertarian fans. i guess he assumes he has them. lets listen. >> if mr. paul wants to be taken seriously, he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in their college dorms. he needs to know what hes talking about. >> well, "the new york times" also caught this p...

Charges stick but they shouldnt drop a hellfire missile on your cafe experience. >> well, john mccain mocked him yesterday. lets take a listen. >> if rand paul want s to be taken seriously, he needs to know what hes talking about. >> well, "the new york times" also caught this photo. its kind of funny of those two senators awkwardly sharing what was a large elevator but too small for them. look at them trying to get away from each other. a eric holder wrote, it has come to my attention that you ...

Have the ability to capture them. we want to capture these people, not kill them. >> shepard: i know information suggested to us we had agents and the host country had agents following aulaqi for 48 years, directing where the drone would shoot. would not be possible to capture million do what is howard under the constitution rather than killing him? >> actually, its one thing to follow somebody and know their whereabouts, its something else to capture them. the reason why we kill people with dro...

Great theater, but youre wrong on the issue. that the u.s. government cannot randomly target american citizens on u.s. soil or anywhere else, what it can do under the laws of war is target an enemy combatant anywhere at any time including u.s. soil. >> the "wall street journal" is right on a lot of issues and theyre wrong on this issue. the problem is if i call you an enemy combatant, how do we know if you are or arent? thats just me calling you and accusing you of a crime. should there be enoug...

But we are in danger -- we are in danger from a dedicated long-standing, easily replaceable leadership enemy that is hellbent on our destruction, and this leads us to having to do things that perhaps we havent had to do in other more conventional wars. and i dont think that anwar al awlaki should have been protected, but that doesnt mean theyre going to take him out with a hellfire missile. it means well use our best intelligence to apprehend and to debrief these people so we can gain the necess...

13 hours. peter doocy up with us now from washington. have we heard from senator paul since he left the floor of the senate overnight? >> we have, bill. he said last night after exiting the floor to a big round of applause, that his feet hurt and he wasnt wearing the most comfortable shoes during that 12-hour, and 52 minute long filibuster, which he couldnt sit down and couldnt leave the floor but he was energized when other senators would join him. in all 15 senators participated including two ...

I dont disagree that we need more debate, more discussion, and frankly probably more legislation to make sure that america does protect the rights of all of our citizens, to make sure at the same time that if someone is an enemy combatant, that enemy combatant has nowhere to hide. not in a cafe, not anywhere, but to say that somehow that even though we will try to take that person to say that we would hit them in a cafe with a hellfire missile, first of all, there are no drones with hellfire mis...

Ammunition to those critics who say that the rules of the senate are being abused. i hope that my colleagues on this side of the aisle will take that into consideration. i note the presence of the senator from south carolina. the senator from south carolina, as many of our colleagues know, is a lawyer. he has a military lawyer in the air force reserve for some over 20 years. if theres anyone in the united states senate that nose about this issue from a legal/technical standpoint, i would ask it ...

Security and safety. they areally i think the associate with the group that american described. i think when it comes to overseas, the public and many people here, the politicians dont really ask the questions. when it comes to american citizens, its going to be a different ball game. >> im going to ask you to stand by as we bring in kelly own donnell. hopefully you were listening there to senators mccain and graham take on rand paul and basically call it the realm of the ridiculous imand the an...
