Bush will achieve nothing, claims Syria

President George Bush is carrying "chaotic ideas" with him on his Middle East tour, which is doomed to fail, Syria said today.

Mr Bush, who arrived in Israel at the start of an eight-day tour of the region, carries "rotten produce in his pocket to market in the region and (comes) with some chaotic ideas in mind to further support Israel, undermine the Arab forces of resistance, antagonise Arab-Iran relations and justify US-Zionist hegemony," the government Tishrin newspaper said.
