You seem to be confused. There was no oil pipeline to be built. Pakistan entered into an agreement to buy gas from Turkmenistan. The pipeline would have delivered gas under the Turkmenistan/Pakistan agreement. Unocal was the lead contractor in the consortium that would have constructed and operated the pipeline. Unocal withdrew from the project in 1998 and has stated several times that they have no further interest in the project.

Do you have any evidence showing that Unocal has indicated renewed interest in the project?

Construction of the pipeline will benefit Afghanistan as well as Turkmenistan and Pakistan. No reason why a U.S. company should not be involved in the construction.

Also, you can spin the election of Karzai any way you want but he was elected by a Loya Jirga convened under U. N. auspices. This link lists the members of the Special Independent Commission that convened the Loya Jirga:
