I thought the USA ended it's drone presence in Pakistan. The Pakistanis have their own drones.

The USA is not the world's police. Pakistan was supplied with spy drones in order to facilitate their forces to be effective against any terrorist movements. So, what is the problem?

...Two top government officials (click here) said Islamabad had given the Americans "express approval" for the strikes - the first time Pakistan has admitted to such cooperation.
Underlining Pakistan's alarm over the brazen Taliban attack on the airport, just weeks after peace talks with the Islamist militants stalled, the officials told Reuters a "joint Pakistan-U.S. operation" had been ordered to hit the insurgents.
Another official said Pakistan had asked the United States for help after the attack on the country's busiest airport on Sunday, and would be intensifying air strikes on militant hideouts in coming days....

American forces have been here many times before. It is time for nation's to stand on their sovereign legs. We have been there in Korea, Vietnam and any other battle whereby another nations says, "But, you do it, so we don't die."

We are not doing this anymore. The USA is not be drawn back into governments too scared of their enemies to mount their own defenses. It is over in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
