First it is an assumption. Secondly if the assumption holds true and USA can keep on coming and threatening and PA has to bow down everytime... maybe we should shelve our Army altogether and seek some other way of defending ourselves. The status quo will be the same if US decides to send some choppers to Kahota. Is Pakistan worse off then North Korea and Iran? even after having nuclear deterrent.
Unfortunately, this is the reality.
If one accepts the premise that America's wider goal is to install India as the regional hegemon, to counter China, and that weakening Pakistan is part of that strategy, then America is itching for an opportunity to decimate Pakistan's military capability. However, keeping in mind domestic and international public opinion, such an operation would need some serious justification.
Pakistan military defending OBL would be just the thing to galvanize public opinion, domestic and international. Pakistan would be portrayed as being the same as Afghan Taliban after 9/11. The US didn't attack the Afghan Taliban because of their human rights record, or their views about women; they attacked them for sheltering OBL.
