US President George W. Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq has stymied the chance to bring peace to the Middle East.

This was Syria's official response to Bush's unveiled "new strategy" on Iraq, which is virtually in a state of civil war.

While the Bush plan called for both Syria and Iran to play a "constructive" role in helping to stabilize the region, Damascus appears unwilling to play ball.

Syrian dictator Bashar el-Assad is reportedly hopeful of soon signing a deal to purchase modern surface-to-surface missiles from Moscow, which is looking to regain its role as a major payer in the Middle East.
