U.S. President George Bush on Wednesday sent Congress a formal justification for invading Iraq, citing the attacks on the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001.
Bush will make a televised speech if the U.S. attacks Iraq, a spokesperson said.
The three-paragraph note justifying war said diplomacy has failed to guarantee America's security.
The Constitution gives Bush authority to "take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those organizations or persons who planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001," the note said.
