The oil pipeline theory has always reeked of conspiracy theory to me as well. I think it was Victor who argued at the time of the Iraq invasion that the plan all along had been to put Iran in a pinch between US-controlled Afghanistan and Iraq. That makes a lot more sense to me, although that whole "US-controlled" aspect sure hasn't worked according to plan.
