WASHINGTON –– President Bush on Friday urged the U.N. Security Council to "make up its mind soon" about confronting Iraq, or the United States will disarm Saddam Hussein with the help of a coalition of allies.

"If the Security Council were to allow a dictator to lie and deceive, the Security Council will be weak," Bush said before a ceremony to swear in new Treasury Secretary John Snow.

Bush said Secretary of State Colin Powell's presentation earlier this week made very clear that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had not disarmed. The president said he is confident that allies will meet their responsibilities after digesting that information.

It would be helpful, Bush said, to have a new resolution out of the Security Council. But he left no doubt about his intention to take action without one.

"He's treated the demands of the world as a joke," Bush said of Saddam. "If he wanted to disarm he would have disarmed."
