Yeah... no > At least OBL had a valid reason ( for ppl who don't know this - he did it as a revenge to what israel was doing in Lebanon ). Not even going to touch that. The fact is, the US operates out of Pakistan with Pakistan's permission. If Pakistan ordered the US to leave their airbases and stop doing strikes, the US would have to, or lose a ton of forward bases. A few thousand US personnel in Pakistan isn't going to stand a chance if Pakistan tried to forcibly remove these drone bases. Yes Pakistan's government complaints publicly about these strikes, but that's all PR -- they know they don't have a military capable of maintaining their own sovereignty in Waziristan, and need US support there. But they won't admit that publicly.
