Why is the Euphrates dried up in the sixth bowl judgment?

Les explains that the sixth angel pours out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water is dried up. He had previously taught that the Euphrates is the biggest natural barrier to the great army coming from the east. The drying prepares the way of the kings of the east, removing the last obstacle for what he sees as a 200 million-man army. He also notes reports that the Turks are building a high dam on the Euphrates' headwaters, which would dry it downstream, making it dry as a bone so the nations of the east can come.
