Bush says Iraq "unwise" to test US resolve

President George W. Bush warned allies and foes alike not to doubt US resolve to disarm Baghdad, as he signed a congressional resolution authorizing him to wage war on Iraq.
"Either the Iraqi regime will give up its weapons of mass destruction or, for the sake of peace, the United States will lead a global coalition to disarm that regime," he said Wednesday at a ceremony in the White House's ornate East Room.
"If any doubt our nation's resolve, our determination, they would be unwise to test it," added the president, who was surrounded by lawmakers of both major US parties and both chambers of the US Congress.
