Pakistani armed forces aint no joke...even if they dint go nuclear i dont think US will ever risk it...US just cant accept so many casualties!!
Unfortunately,
acetophenol is right.
After 9/11 event, Pakistan was the first nation to be threatened like this:
We'll bomb you to Stone Age, US told Pakistan - Times Online
When it comes to US military power, no nation has a chance against it. Top brass of every nation knows this. 1991 Gulf War opened eyes of many nations. Vietnam was soon forgotten.

Nuclear deterence has helped Pakistan on many difficult occasions.
US is very untrustworthy nation. India should learn a lesson from Pakistan.
Now US is planning to militarily
encircle China via a string of allies in Asia. This is why India has been chosen and being offered
carrots. You Indians should be careful of this game. Do not be a pawn in American games.

US has occupied Iraq and Afghanistan simultaneously in WOT. And it is also fighting extremist elements in some parts of Pakistan (e.g. provinces near Afghanistan).
In geographical terms:
Iraq + Afghanistan = 437072 sq km + 647,500 sq km (1084572 sq km in total)
Pakistan = 803940 sq km
What happens during occupation is that invaders establish military bases and occupy important regions. The
unoccupied regions are subjected to military operations, when necessary. This strategy is cost effective. A country is never fully occupied in geographical terms and neither this is required.
