President Bush Wedensday signed Congress' war-making resolution and told wary world leaders to "face up to our global responsibility" to confront Saddam Hussein.

"Those who choose to live in denial may eventually be forced to live in fear," Bush said as the United Nations Security Council began a bitter debate over his plans to disarm and oust Saddam.

With dozens of lawmakers on hand for the East Room ceremony, Bush used the speech to press the United Nations to adopt a new resolution compelling Iraq to submit to unconditional weapons inspections.

Among the dozen lawmakers who were invited to stand onstage with Bush at the signing ceremony were Sens. Joseph Lieberman, D- Conn., John McCain, R-Ariz., Joseph Biden, D-Del., and John Warner, R-Va., as well as Minority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss.

Absent from the list was Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., and House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., who had scheduling conflicts.
