"The question was asked: You are aware that it's Obama who has ordered the drone strikes -- and not Rand Paul, liberal Democrats, Glenn Greenwald, or the Cookie Monster, right?"

...no, that wasn't it. Rewind:

You do understand that it is Obama ordering these drone strikes that kill innocent people and that it is Paul and real progressives that are questioning his murders?

Rand Paul isn't "questioning" anyone's "murders."

Paul acknowledged that US drone strikes have proven effective in places like Pakistan and Yemen, including a strike on US-born radical preacher Anwar al-Awlaki, whom Paul branded a traitor.

But "if you're going to kill non-combatants, people eating dinner, in America, there have to be some rules," he added.

Rand Paul is having fantasies:

The President is advocating a drone strike program in America. All we have to compare it with is the drone strike program overseas.
