Ya'all will love this piece of raw meat from a mid-November WSJ article.
The Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) pipeline short-circuits US and Israeli control of the flow of oil and liquified natural gas (LNG) throughout the world. So we hand India a bunch of nuclear power plants instead, in exchange for their help in killing what Henry Kissinger himself called a "natural" place for an energy pipeline.
And to close the door on the deal completely, we have the destabilization of the India-Pakistan border viz. the attacks in Mumbai. Not only will there be no IPI pipeline, but the rest of the world will be getting their oil and LNG via supertanker and an alternate pipeline that can be controlled by US and Israeli interests, through here.
Avoiding the Strait of Hormuz and the Suez Canal -- but using Israeli overland pipelines -- adds several dollars per barrel to the cost of the oil. But this also means that several "middlemen" have been given a piece of the action, costing China and India, but not the US.
In fact, it appears that France and the Hunt Brothers will be the ultimate benefactors, leaving Turkey and Israel with "chokepoint" power, in this attempt to cut Pakistan out of the oil business and leave Iran without any increased means of distribution of its reserves.
