Could use a little more info on the level of Lake Asad.

Not long ago we were told there were tens of thousands of Iraqis who fled to Syria.

Haven't heard much about the Euphrates River drying up in Iraq.

I read that Saddam encouraged both Syria and Turkey to make free with the upstream water, the better to dry up the Southern Marshes.

He just did not give a damn.
