-- Bush: Iraqi Arms Declaration 'Not Encouraging' -- WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush said on Friday that Iraq's arms declaration was not encouraging and vowed that the United States is "serious about keeping the peace." "Yesterday was a disappointing day for those who long for peace," Bush told reporters a day after the United States declared Iraq in "material breach" of a U.N. disarmament resolution for failing to disclose suspected chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs. Bush spoke as he met representatives from the United Nations, the European Union and Russia on ways to advance the Middle East peace process. He said the Iraqi arms document as analyzed by the United States "was not encouraging." "We expected him to show that he would disarm," Bush said of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "We're serious about keeping the peace. We're serious about working with our friends in the United Nations so that this body ably led by Kofi Annan has got relevance as we go into the 21st century."
