Re We will not stick around because there is no oil to pump.

Not so sure about that. The "feeble puppet government" that the US created in Afghanistan will oversee the creation of a pipeline. Do you know that Hamid Karzai, the President of Afghanistan, used to work as a consultant for the US oil company UNOCAL, and was involved in the negotiations with the Taliban for a pipeline?

eurasianet.org

Under interim government Chairman Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan has revived an old hope. It is officially seeking to build a pipeline that would take Turkmen oil and gas to India via Pakistan and Afghanistan. (...) Karzai’s "pipeline of peace" would essentially reassemble the CentGas Consortium, a $2 billion project led by Houston oil giant Unocal in the mid-1990s.

Karzai should be familiar with Unocal; he worked as a consultant to the company in the ‘90s.

Il [Hamid Karzai] a parfait sa formation aux Etats-Unis où il fut un moment consultant de l'entreprise pétrolière américaine Unocal, quand celle-ci étudiait la construction d'un oléoduc en Afghanistan.

(Hamid Karzai was educated in the US, where he was for a while a consultant for American petroleum company Unocal, when it was studying/working on the construction of an oil pipeline in Afghanistan).
