Rush Limbaugh Interviews Rand Paul After Drone Filibuster: You Are A Hero To A Lot Of People Today

3/7/13 - Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh invited Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on his program on Thursday for a thorough debriefing following the senator's marathon filibuster on Wednesday. In a wide-ranging interview, Paul told Limbaugh that he was thought it was important to have a debate about President Barack Obama's approach to American citizens who are viewed by the administration as being subject to a drone strike. Limbaugh heaped praise on Paul for his ability to "take this president on" and said that many see him as "a hero" today. "I was thinking of you when I was in the middle of this 13-hour -- I got about five hours into it, and I was like, 'well, Rush does four hours of this every day. Certainly, I can do four more hours," Paul said. "I doubt I was in your thoughts last night," Limbaugh laughed. Paul explained that he had been concerned about the issue of drones for some time, but only decided to filibuster in order to compel the White House to surrender more information on the drone program yesterday morning. "Nobody in the Republican Party has dared take this president on," Limbaugh exclaimed. "You did last night, and you're alive today to talk about it." "You are, in certain ways, a hero to a lot of people today," he added. "This was, to me, a seminal event last night that could change the direction that we are all heading -- particularly in terms of educating and informing the American people about what actually is happening in their country." "We ask a pretty important question, and that's whether you get to pick and choose which parts of the Bill of Rights apply to American citizens," Paul replied. "We don't think that the president, or any politician --Republican or Democrat — should get to choose when the Fifth Amendment applies." Paul added that the president's "intention" to not execute citizens on American soil without due process was insufficient for Paul to dissuade him from engaging in a filibuster. Paul clarified that he was not against the use of drones on the battlefield, but that he was concerned about the collateral damage that these unilaterally authorized strikes have incurred. He added that, for American citizens inside the country, they must have their "day in court" if they are not an active combatant.

N Korea vows Preemptive Nuclear Strike against American Cities

North Korea has vowed to launch a 'preemptive' nuclear strike against the US to defend itself in the event that Washington ignites a nuclear war. "Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to preemptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest," said a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman in a statement on Thursday. The statement was carried by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). The spokesman also warned that a second Korean war would be "unavoidable," if Washington and Seoul refuse Pyongyang's calls to cancel their large-scale joint military drills scheduled to kick off next week. On March 1, South Korea and the US will start their annual military exercises, dubbed Key Resolve, which will continue until the end of April. It will involve 10,000 South Korean and 3,500 US forces.

North Korea Threatens Nuclear Attack on the US

North Korea has said that it may launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the United States. The threat was made on Thursday. It came hours before a vote at the United Nations to decide whether new sanctions will be leveled against the Communist nation for a recent nuclear test it conducted.This is insane. World leaders should stop talking about War; even about 'war' on terror, 'war' on drugs, and whatever 'war' there may be. Indeed war is not a solution. Peace is achieved through negotiations, not through sanctions. Governments should try to lift the standard of living of poor people, and make their life easy. They should fight hunger, poverty, unemployment, and illiteracy.
