JPR, it would be suicidal for the US and the British troops to be stationed on the LoC. And here is why. These troops, if they are stationed on the Afghan/Pakistan border would not be that vulnerable to attacks from the Osamas and Talibanis since they have air cover and surveillance from US base in Kandahar. Instead, if they move to the LoC, then they have nowhere to go if there is a military confrontation between them and terrorists who have infiltrated and infested the Pakistani side of the LoC.

On the other hand, the US can have India do that job of eliminating the terrorist camps while it (the US) provides nuclear cover from Paki nukes by securing them in a swoop. India, as we know have no territorial designs in Pakistan, not even the Pakistan held part of Kashmir. If India had those designs, then they would not have retreated from Lahore during the 1976 conflict. The Indian army was on the outskirts of Lahore then. The Indian army withdrew from Lahore and forced Pakistan to peace talks resulting in a peace agreement at the Simla summit. A similar thing needs to be done now.

It is noteworthy that China, who typically opposes India at the drop of a hat, is not opposing India and siding with Pakistan (albeit blindly) on this issue. They are well aware that very soon Muslim radicalism would overtake their Communist regime if they do not side with India and contain the threat now.
