China can’t send a major force, certain 29,000ft high mountains are in the way, but they might strike, in conjunction with the US and India, to cripple Pakistani air power, ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. No one is going to want to get involved in a ground war.

Pakistani aircraft, missiles, and nukes will likely be under Musharraf's command, not that of the Islamofascists. China will likely PROTECT Pakistani government forces-- the aircraft, the missiles, the nukes-- so the government that's allied to them doesn't fall. The US, and possibly even India, will support the government that's NOT determined to kill Americans and Hindus, i.e., Musharraf's.
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.

Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.

They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)
