I don't think you read far enough into the article. Unocal - which led a consortium of companies from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Japan and South Korea - has maintained the project is both economically and technically feasible once Afghan stability was secured. "Unocal is not involved in any projects (including pipelines) in Afghanistan, nor do we have any plans to become involved, nor are we discussing any such projects," a spokesman told BBC News Online. The US company formally withdrew from the consortium in 1998. news.bbc.co.uk So you see your article says Unocal was once involved in a consortium but withdrew in '98 and has no intention to get involved again. That potentially would leave all the other companies in the consortium to go ahead on their own, but regarding our subject here, you will note that none of those are American. Hey maybe the pipeline will get built someday. I wish them luck. The country doesn't have much in the way of assets. Afghanistan will have to become stable first, though - more stable than it is now. If there is regime change in Iran someday, that route may be seen as better.
