updated story

"U.S. officials said the United States is providing reconnaissance information, advice, and logistics to help along to Pakistan, but stress that it is a Pakistani operation. The United States has not been invited to take part in the operation, and Pakistan has insisted that its military independently run operations to crack down on al Qaeda, U.S. officials said."

for once i'm glad the US isn't directly involved. need to show the world that other countries DO care about getting rid of these evil ba$tards. plus, i would assume the pakistanis have less BS to worry about in how the "appropriately" deal with this situation. wish for the safety of the pakistani troops involved.
