Since they already built an oil pipeline the juts out and goes around Syria, why is this considered not an option for the Natural Gas on the same route?

Why has the little nation of Qatar spent 3 billion dollars to support the rebels in Syria? Could it be because Qatar is the largest exporter of liquid natural gas in the world and Assad won't let them build a natural gas pipeline through Syria? Of course. Qatar wants to install a puppet regime in Syria that will allow them to build a pipeline which will enable them to sell lots and lots of natural gas to Europe. Why is Saudi Arabia spending huge amounts of money to help the rebels and why has Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan been "jetting from covert command centers near the Syrian front lines to the Élysée Palace in Paris and the Kremlin in Moscow, seeking to undermine the Assad regime"? Well, it turns out that Saudi Arabia intends to install their own puppet government in Syria which will allow the Saudis to control the flow of energy through the region. On the other side, Russia very much prefers the Assad regime for a whole bunch of reasons. One of those reasons is that Assad is helping to block the flow of natural gas out of the Persian Gulf into Europe, thus ensuring higher profits for Gazprom. Now the United States is getting directly involved in the conflict. If the U.S. is successful in getting rid of the Assad regime, it will be good for either the Saudis or Qatar (and possibly for both), and it will be really bad for Russia. This is a strategic geopolitical conflict about natural resources, religion and money, and it really has nothing to do with chemical weapons at all.

NO BLOOD FOR OIL!
Since they already built an oil pipeline the juts out and goes around Syria, why is this considered not an option for the Natural Gas on the same route?
What am I thinking? I am talking Europe here. Oops for a moment, I was thinking it was also Obama's new Amerika I was describing...
I wouldn’t doubt it. SA looks after their own interests (as to be expected) and uses the U.S. to that end. They are not our friend.
“No blood for oil!”
Lefties will say...it is not about oil, it is GAS. Therefore they will feel it is correct to go to war.GAS OK; OIL NOT.
No, we’ll be going to war with Russia over a gas pipeline.
We’ll be going to war for Saudia Arabia. over a gas pipeline.
And my point is we don’t have too, if the ultimate customer is Europe it is their problem who to buy from or find their own. What bothers me is we are carrying their H20 over a fight that maybe between Russia and Quatar and the Saudi’s of who gets to supplu NG? That is to much Fun in DysFunctional for me, I want nothin’ to do with all 3 of them, they all suck and Europe is too stupid to see it.

It’s not simply about energy...in the long run it also involves political influence. Turkey is also a player in this embroglio. If transit through Turkey is successful then political leverage (through manipulation of energy flo) to gain EU membership is guaranteed. Then the EU can Kiss their democracy goodbye.
"Why yes, now that you ask. Is that going to be a problem for you ?"
It's only a guess, but maybe some think the Turks have too much control of the oil pipelines from the Caspian basin and the Middle East?
Recall that proposed pipelines through the Caucus were a major contributing factor to Russian/Georgian conflict. Russia wants to maintain a stranglehold on gas supplies to Europe.
then let Europe fight the war.
I didn’t see any photos of EU leaders kissing King Abdullah’s ring.
