As for this pipeline, you do you know that at any given time there are dozens of pipelines being built? They are building one in Venezuela, why aren't we attacking them? We get more oil from from Venezuela than we do Afghanistan....
How would the US benefit from this magical pipeline?

Venezuela is working with Russia, and as a superpower, USA are not going to start a nuclear war over Venezuela. Next question....Afghanistan is only a conduit for the pipeline. The only thing the US wants is a stable regime to control the pipeline security and the resulting flow of dollars.
The oil comes through/from from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Central Asia into India. The demand will be growing for decades to come. Whatever is left of the oil resource can be sold at astronomical prices. Supply versus demand. It is clear and obvious to anyone with a grain of smarts about them that oil is running out fast. Everyone needs it. If you control it and the currency it is dealt in, you hold the power. This would be one of the biggest pipeline flows in the world, and would negate the need to rely on the Russians or Iran for oil. Independence when it comes to oil saves/makes billions of dollars.

Smug but not too smart. Again your answer is woefully off target. If you control the majority of the worlds oil you can set your own price. No-one can stop you.
How lucky you are to be so mercifully free from the ravages of intelligence. If you build a pipeline through to India as planned then US oil interests who control the flow of that oil stand to make billions in profits as India's demand for oil increases...really, really obvious stuff here.

Woops! Wrong again.

Oh dear. Guess what? Yup, wrong again. Unocal = US corporation.

We're not at all stupid. I applaud your debating skills though. Starting off by calling everyone fucking idiots shows how thoughtful you really are. good for you.
