The dots are holes, possibly related to oil exploration. There is nothing else out here one might be looking for. the pattens of holes indicate deliberate, precise digging and the track patterns to the SW might be tracks from the vehicles that dug the holes.

Thanks for the help. Also, thanks to the link to MSN Virtual Earth, I now know this is in Syria and not Iraq. And, when hiking by satellite, how easy it is to cross borders without even knowing it.
