If all we wanted was to secure a pipeline that would have been taken care of already.

But it isn't.

You can't secure either the pipeline or the North -- where most natural resources are. And you failed to secure political control over Afghanistan even after doing song and dance around Taliban-allied war lords.

PS
You are not still thinking the US went into Afghanistan to "catch OBL" or to "fight Taliban" that came to power thanks to US?
