i don't deny the possibility of a hidden agenda of some kind; it's just there's no sodding evidence to suggest it's a pipeline issue - and plenty (huge amounts) to show why it isn't.
if you do have any evidence for your belief that it's a pipeline (by the way - the afghan route is a long way from being the shortest) please let me know as my own research hasn't brought any to light and i would be tremendously interested in hearing it (as i say - oil politics is a personal obsession of mine; i've been studying the subject almost 3 years now).
if however, you believe the US is there for reasons to do with an oil pipeline but don;t have any actual evidence then that's cool too. i tend not to go for the faith-based approach to these things, but i don't get fundamentalist about it :-)
