Assad's comments come as Obama set to meet with Lebanon PM to raise concerns about alleged Syria-Hezbollah Scud transfer.
Syrian President Bashar Assad said Monday that the United States has lost its influence in the Middle East due to its failure to contribute to regional peace, in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
U.S. President Barack Obama "raised hopes" in the region, said Assad, but has failed to accomplish any significant peace maneuvers.
Assad's comments came just before Obama was to meet with Lebanon Prime Minister Sa'ad al-Hariri to raise Washington's concerns about Syria arming Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon
The Syrian leader met on Sunday with French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner in Damascus earlier Sunday and urged the West to "break its silence" in the face of Israeli "aggression" in the Middle East.

Didn’t Senator Kerry just see Assad a couple of days ago?
To influence people, you have to have people that have the intelegence to know they are being influenced. Leave the Middle East to their camels. If they are a problem to the world, handle them from the air. No more boots on the ground.
Hard to bomb someone into the stone age when they are already there (sacrasm).
I am underwelmed in our ability to bring peace, universal prosperity and democracy to an area of the world with no history in any of those concepts.
That ought to do the trick.
First Pelosi, then Kerry.
Is that the Burger King guy from the tv commercials?
Oil,,.................. and votes.
In truth, all that's really needed to achieve "middle east peace" is to back Israel with military supplies and leave the rest to them.
The list, ping
Obama has failed...... PERIOD!
Obama fails at everything so what else is new,he’s a born loser.
LOL. No matter how much Obama grovels to these folks, it ain’t going to help. Peace Through Strength works. Peace through weakness, grovelling and effeminate foreign policy will only earn their scorn!
yes Obama and friends are 100%fail
“Syria: Obama has failed in peace efforts and lost influence in Mideast”
Not to mention total alienation of our closest and most competent ally in the Middle East.
Truth is.......the troublemakers in the ME have taken note of Obama's action, or inaction, in the face of problems worldwide. They know this is the time they can attempt to achieve their goals without consequences from the US.
Truth comes from Rush and Assad..... Failure
ASod, just take a Valium and call us in the morning.
If you think this president hasn’t pulled his pants down and presented himself to you, you just haven’t been paying attention.
