What stops USA from occupying Pakistan?

[T-Rex]

Its 21st century. No country occupies another country.

Afghanistan is an occupied country; your argument is hollow.

 

[cybertron]

The fact that it's much cheaper to have a puppet government in place.

Damn right!

 

[Fireurimagination]

Pakistan is too big and too strong and also possesses nuclear weapons so the thing becomes damn risky

 

[regular]

American people will not allow another occupation. Pakistan is a nation of 187 million people. I am sure the Army can gather millions of freedom fighters in a couple of hours.

If Republicans win, they will try to occupy Iran. If Obama wins again, then same old policy.

I guess Pakistan is already occupied by US...cuz we never seen freedom since 1947.....

 

[GR!FF!N]

age of physical occupation is over.they controlled your government (Mush) few years back.thats how thing works.control government and manipulate its decision in your favour.

 

[tarrar]

Musharraf is not a puppet he was a smart person with brains. Political parties who will allow occupation of Pakistan are PPP, PML-N, PMLQ, ANP, JUI, MQM etc every body in these corrupt political parties will allow full & total occupation of Pakistan. These parties only work for Dollars.

 

[Wright]

They can Control Aid and can impose sanctions. Pakistan would become the next North korea.

 

[SamranAli]

we have been occupied by america since independence our govt military and to some extent public too.

 

[CENTCOM]

Let us make it clear that the U.S. has no intention to occupy Pakistan. The U.S fully respects Pakistan as a proud and an independent nation. We repeatedly highlight Pakistan’s importance in bringing peace and stability to the region, and consider Pakistan as a key ally in the WOT. Those who are even thinking about paying a second thought to the question above must realize that the conspiracy theories have followed us like a shadow, since our arrival in Afghanistan. The truth is that the U.S only wishes to see a strong, stable and independent Pakistan for the sake of achieving our common objectives. It’s only in our best interest to see our partner nation grow stronger, and uproot the elements that are plaguing the region with their acts of terror. At the same time, we fully realize the impact a few regrettable incidents have had on our partnership. But we cannot overlook the fact that it is our shared will and desire to defeat terrorism that continues to binds us together. We can go back to last month and recall the meeting between President Obama and Prime Minister Gilani that captivated the mood and feelings of our highest government officials. President Obama said, “But I welcome the fact that the parliament of Pakistan is reviewing, after some extensive study, the nature of this relationship. “I think it’s important to get it right. I think it’s important for us to have candid dialogue, to work through these issues.” Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said: “We are committed to fighting against extremism. We want stability in Afghanistan and Pakistan. “We want to work together with you.”
This does not suggest that the U.S is looking to occupy Pakistan, but shows two independent and sovereign nations respecting each other’s autonomy, while remaining optimistic in regards to working together to achieve their common objectives. We hope to increase the level of communication and coordination that will prevent past mistakes from recurring, and look forward to working side by side to defeat our common enemies.

In absence of puppets like Musharraf and Zardari, what will stop USA from occupying Pakistan?

The lesson of misadventure learned in Afghanistan.

Much difficult terrain, much larger population and more heavily armed.

These are indeed kind words. Sadly action speaks louder than words and with respect i and many of my countrymen dont believe your country. They say action speaks louder than words and i think either your leaders are not telling you of the double mind games you are playing or you are simply being dishonest. Have a liile read and absorb why you are up against a land that simply doesnt trust you....

Unjust War Is A Thankless Job

NATO has reiterated the US old allegation that the ISI is ‘intimately involved’ with the insurgency in Afghanistan and is secretly aiding Afghan Taliban, who assume their victory is inevitable. Although the allegation is frivolous, even for argument sake it is hypothesized that the ISI is involved, what is so strange about it and why should it surprise NATO or the US? Why should it cause so much anguish since all the intelligence agencies of strategic partners housed in Kabul are exactly involved in same kind of racket against Pakistan since 2002? While Afghan Taliban have a superior cause of freeing their homeland from the clutches of invaders, the US have no moral and legal justification to invade, destroy and occupy a sovereign country. The US and its allies are playing a double game with Pakistan which they all declare as their strategic ally. While claiming to be friends fighting a common war with common objective of defeating terrorism, they have been repeatedly stabbing Pakistan to make it powerless. While the US has forbidden Pakistan to maintain any sort of contact with Afghan and Pakistani Taliban, it is itself striving hard to make Afghan Taliban agree to talk. It has also allowed Afghan regime, India, Germany, Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar to forge ties with the Taliban and bring them to the negotiating table. As a result of its continuous efforts since 2009, the US now happily claims that it has made a big breakthrough by convincing Taliban to open a political office in Doha. To make them agree for preliminary talks without any set agenda, Washington agreed to release high profile five Taliban leaders detained in Guantanamo Bay since 2002. It is only when the detainees arrive in Doha that they would open their office.

[B]The US forgets that it forced Pakistan to betray its friendly Muslim neighbor by ditching it and becoming a coalition member of aggressors. It is ISAF and ANA that are fighting the Taliban since October 2001, while Pak Army is fighting CIA-RAW created TTP in the northwest. The latter is funded, trained, equipped and employed by CIA, RAW, Mossad and RAAM. Pakistan has sufficient evidence to prove involvement of foreign agencies in FATA, Swat and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Up stuck from their main base in South Waziristan, the militants couldn’t have put up such determined fights without intimate support of foreign agencies. [/B]The militants are so heavily funded and laced with all kinds of weapons that on occasions the PAF assistance has to be sought to destroy militant hideouts in far flung areas.

Currently, Central Kurram Agency, Upper Orakzai Agency and Khyber Agency are hot areas where frequent skirmishes are taking place between Hakimullah Mehsud led Taliban and security forces. Plan to heat up Chitral, Upper and Lower Dir has now been finalized. Maulana Fazlullah led runaway militants have been accommodated in Kunar and Nuristan provinces, the two safe havens for these militants. They have been given the status of refugees and provided houses and rations. They receive funds, training and motivational talks by CIA, RAW, RAAM and instigated to launch cross border attacks and add to the problems of Pakistan.
Pakistan also has enough proofs of involvement of CIA, RAW, MI-6, RAAM and Blackwater in Balochistan. These agencies are deeply involved in fomenting Baloch insurgency which has now got converted into a separatist movement. All the separatist Baloch leaders like Brahamdagh Bugti, Harbyar Marri, Daood Suleman and Dr Wahid Baloch are residing abroad duly patronized by agencies inimical to Pakistan. BLA, BRA, BLUF are creations of these agencies. Till recent, Brahamdagh was residing in Kandahar supervising insurgency in Balochistan. Harbyar and Suleman are living in London while Wahid is based in Washington. These banned groups have been blowing up gas pipelines, electric grid stations, pylons, railway lines and attacking security check posts, military convoys, passenger trains and buses. They are involved in kidnappings for ransom and target killings. Non-locals particularly Punjabis, Hazara community and pro-government elements are their favorite targets. Frontier Corps and Frontier Constabulary assigned by the provincial government to maintain law and order are targeted by these banned terrorist groups. All attacks on security forces are proudly claimed by BLA or BRA. Retaliatory actions by law enforcers’ are vociferously censured by the US, West, India, NGOs, HRW and section of local media.

RAW and CIA are also actively involved in Karachi where the heinous practice of target killings is going on for the last three years. Purpose is to bring the economic activity in the economic hub center to a complete standstill. RAW has a hand in Gilgit-Baltistan sectarian tensions as well. Despite having learnt that the US was insincere and duplicitous and was heavily leaning towards India, Pakistan has been providing full support to it. It had placed its seaport, airports, four airbases and supply routes at the disposal of ISAF without charging any fee. Pak security forces are fighting the US dictated global war on terror (GWOT) against their own people relentlessly. Pakistan has offered numerous sacrifices to fight the menace of war. It suffered exceptionally serious losses in terms of human resource victims, devastation of valuable property, impulsive political instability, bursting social disorder, divisive mindset, and poor law and order situation leading to creation of threatening environment filled with sense of fear and uncertainty in the country.

More than 35000 innocent people lost their lives, while many were incapacitated or rendered disabled. Security forces of Pakistan were made the direct target of terrorism and their capacity to prevail upon the militants was frequently challenged by its own citizens. Nearly 4000 fatalities and 15000 injuries sustained by security forces is a clear proof that Pakistan played its part with honesty and sincerity. This high figure of casualties surpasses combine figure of ISAF comprising 48 countries. As against paltry sum of $10 billion received from USA in the last ten years, Pakistan lost $70 billion. Its economy has become bankrupt while social trauma is incalculable. Instead of acknowledging Pakistan’s sacrifices and sufferings it underwent and eulogizing the constructive role it played in trying to cleanse the ugly mess created by the sponsors of GWOT, Pakistan has been maligned, distrusted and given a raw deal. Pak Army and ISI have been subjected to unsubstantiated baseless allegations, taunts and snubs by US officials, NATO, Afghan regime and India.
Despite all this Pakistan remained committed to the cause of fighting the menace of terrorism and participated actively in war on terror to eliminate the terrorists. Pak Army has continued to shed blood in the face of vile propaganda by US print and electronic media. But for the shocking events in 2011, Pakistan would have continued to do more without a whimper. Revelations which came to light after the arrest of double murderer CIA agent Raymond Davis were enough to jolt the security apparatus. Had he been allowed to be grilled by ISI, he would have exposed the whole game plan of CIA. Whatever little information garnered was too frightening. CIA with the help of bought over quislings had succeeded in establishing a vast network in all major communication centres of Pakistan. Our former Ambassador in Washington Hussein Haqqani and Interior Minister Malik facilitated the establishment of CIA network as well as Blackwater.

This network instead of hunting the terrorists including the most wanted man OBL, it directed all its energies towards weakening and discrediting Pak Army and ISI and trying to achieve its principle goal of extracting the nuclear teeth of Pakistan and thus making it a docile state at the mercy of India. Primary purpose of conducting stealth attack in Abbottabad on 2 May last year to get OBL was to damage the high reputation of Pak Army/ISI and to create misgivings between the government and the Army. But for outstanding feats of the Army/ISI in breaking the back of al-Qaeda aligned with TTP, the former would have hit back viciously to avenge the death of its spiritual leader OBL.

The US callously betrayed Pakistan and then remorselessly rejoiced the event by demeaning Pakistan. It rubbed salt in the wounds of Pakistan by unleashing a despicable propaganda soon after the attack and became more aggressive. Drone war was further intensified. It forgot that if the Army/ISI had a hand in hiding OBL, why did they arrest all the wanted al-Qaeda high-value leaders with head money and promptly handed them over to USA. If today al-Qaeda has become a non-entity in Afghanistan, the entire credit goes to Pak Army/ISI and none else. Having given a crippling blow to the fighting ability of al-Qaeda, it was inane to keep its chief in such a prominent place, with head money of $25 million, non-operational since December 2001 and a liability. As if 2 May stab was not enough, the US knifed Pakistan again on 26 November. After slaughtering 24 Pak soldiers in Mehmand Agency, it behaved as if nothing unusual had happened. The US is least interested in new terms of engagement framed by Pakistan since it knows how to deal with NRO cleansed rulers of Pakistan. It only wants Pakistan to continue fighting the war unremittingly and to keep American interests supreme, It wants Pakistan to reopen NATO supplies forthwith, but is not prepared to offer an apology over Salala incident. It is not giving an assurance that Pakistan’s sovereignty will not be violated again and is not ready to cease drone attacks. With such crass, unjust and rigid attitude, and showing disregard to Pakistan’s sacrifices, there is little hope for Pak-US relations getting back to normal.

There is no need for them to occupy. If at all there will be a need, they can take Pakistan anytime. Also thier economy is not doing good.

One most important thing, just because someone does not attack or occupy you does not mean they cannot, you just do not go for war for your ego. You have to have your goals.

Now what will be their goal?

To kill Taliban? No need to occupy.
To get out Nuke, again, no need to occupy.

 

[Awesome]

Heavily armed population. The occupiers won't be fighting any organization if it occupies Pakistan. We'll just kill the occupiers every chance we get, there will be no winning our hearts. See them, shoot them. If anyone tries to win our hearts, shoot them. If anyone tries to win our minds, shoot them. An occupier smiles back at you, shoot them.

We're not Afghans or Iraqis who will welcome occupation, the worst of the worst Pakistani government is better than an occupation force that comes with rose petals.

Zero tolerance for occupiers. Of course I'd expect no less from any other nation if Pakistan occupied them. Live in peace always, but if war is imposed be ready to give the enemy a bloody nose.
