I doubt if Obama has the stomach to attack, take and stabilize Pakistan. That said, it maybe in our interests to allow India to neutralize Pakistan. There probably would be nukes involved – which may lead to knowing where the usable nukes in Pakistan are located and an excuse to secure them or destroy them.

Pakistan is in chaos at this moment. They are of little or no use to us. It may be more favorable to have a Pakistan turned into rubble and the Taliban wounded by India. A lot of tactics could be used to push the Taliban over the cliff and to install new leadership in Pakistan.

The only unknown in this scenario is how the Big 0 would react. I would hope senior military officers have contingency plans in place if Pakistan explodes.
