Kalthalior didn't say you commented on it. Why this sentence now?

Even if it isn't a coincidence, it doesn't imply anything nefarious. It could simply be a matter of safegaurding the area's most economically valuable resource to make certain it will be there when the country needs rebuilding. Besides, as I recal, Saddam had set them on fire, and they were covering the countryside in noxious (but not fatal) smoke; they needed to be put out, and Saddam wasn't going to do so, as he had ordered the fires set in the first place.
