About 2 orders of magnitude.  A hellfire (not the only missile, btw) is $100k-ish, and a reaper is $10M, with a predator A being like $5-8ish

8 bucks??   :O

They'd be better off just shooting a few burners into the person of interests dwelling so that they could unfortunately burn up (after offing themselves of course).

The government already uses that tactic pretty effectively.

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

A great show.

But Brennan is confirmed.  Just as Hagel was.

Let's get real.

Drones are no more the real issue than "assault weapons" are.  R.P. focused his filibuster on a narrow issue.  Even he doesn't have the chops to take on this administration on its tyrannical propensities.

He did just that quite a bit during his speeches. They were very good.

He'll happily attack another Republican, but when it's time to stand on principle against Democrats/Communists/Statists he's all ready to compromise and reach across the aisle.

McCain seems to have a form of Tourette's where his outbursts consist of calls to blow people up or run down his own party.

And yet, the big wigs at the GOP seem to like him just fine. That says a lot about what the Republican party is.
