Probably no coincidence that this pipeline was being discussed back in 1997 before 9-11 happened. But they had to establish peace in the country first. And they more or less did, it just took a while and is still a work in progress.

So they discussed it in 1997... But they needed to establish peace in Afghanistan? So what your saying is it took them exactly fifteen years and three thousand American lives and they still have.... Nothing? A plan to build a pipeline? Someday?
That might just be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
Are you saying the American government wanted to get oil from a "potential pipeline" that "might be built". Oil from Turkmenistan? That goes to Pakistan? Yeah, that's exactly what happened. The United States government wanted a pipeline from Turkmenistan to Pakistan so we could ship the oil half way around the world so we could decrease our dependency on Canadian oil. LOL.
