They blow them up because if Saddam can't have the oil, no one else should, in his mind. The smoke wouldn't stop an aerial attack, all of our pilots are equipment certified, they don't need to be physically able to see anything to perform their missions, and most of our bombs are satellite guided, so it again doesn't matter if we can see it or not.
I don't know where you heard that, but it doesn't make much sense.
