''The CIA just got kicked out of a major Pakistani launching pad for the drone war. But just because the agency is packing up its stuff like a dumped lover doesn’t mean the deadly flying robots will head home. They’ll just move to the airbases in nearby Afghanistan. Consider it the drone equivalent of crashing on a friend’s couch for a while.
If the CIA hasn’t totally vacated the Shamsi airbase near Quetta in Pakistan, it’s in the final stages of leaving. Pakistan’s deadline for the CIA to leave, an act of protest for a U.S. helicopter disaster that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, expired over the weekend.
But that’s not to say the drone war will end. Not even close."
