Aside from the fact they clearly don't have any territorial sovereignty in that area what makes you think they object to them? Because they have not told us to stop.

While they haven't told us to stop, why does it seem like their government is playing both sides? I would like to see us stop just to see what happens.

The Koran does say that, by the way. The only question is which Muslims are his brethren.

I think it is because they want a stepping stone for if they want to attack Iran.

Iraq is on the other side of Iran, and Afghanistan is a more defensible border for Iran than Pakistan is.
... or Afghan and Pakistan combined is.
Afghanistan is also very mountainous and less suited for supply lines than Pakistan is.

Icelander said: If we are willing to play that game then what gives us the high ground? Aren't we only risking American lives? IMO they're either with us or against us and any other situation will back fire on us in the end. It seems to me they are really against us.
If they haven't the will or strength to deal with terrorists in their own country then what good are they to us?
I'm guessing when it's all over we will have to deal with them as an enemy eventually. In the mean time we are supporting their fraud.
Without Pakistan the US would be worthless in the middle east , without any other allies in the region pakistan works as the middleman.

Are civilians the ones being targeted? If not, that's all the "proof" he needs. Besides the fact that high level terrorists are being killed in strikes every week, what other proof that they are harboring terrorists? Is the USA capturing them elsewhere, tying them to the ground, then dropping bombs on them? If not than Pakistan is harboring people that are trying to plan attacks against the united states. If anything I prefer it be drone strikes than foot soldiers. More cost effective, and more terrifying to know that if you associate with terrorist groups you are always liable to get blown the fuck up.
