WASHINGTON - The Bush administration said Saturday it was surprised and disappointed by Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks that the United States "has overstepped its national borders in every way" and is fostering a new global arms race.

Putin told a conference in Germany of the world's top security officials that his reason for his warning about the U.S. was its increased use of military force. Nations "are witnessing an almost uncontained hyper use of force in international relations," the Russian leader said.

"This is nourishing an arms race with the desire of countries to get nuclear weapons," he said.

Moscow and Washington forged closed ties in the immediate aftermath of the terrorists attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. But the countries have been on delicate footing more recently.
