Lake Asad

I turned to the official TV of of the Syrian regime. They are airing a documentary on Lake Asad.  It says that the water is so pure that trees around the lake "are eager" for the lake.  Kid you not.  Yesterday, I received a desperate plea from Dir`ah as the troops were storming into the mosque.  Wait the documentary on Lake Asad also says:  water washes the faces of stones around the lake every other moment.  Kid you not.
