WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush pledged Sunday that the United States "will rid the world of evil-doers."
He told Americans, who begin a new week in the aftermath of Tuesday's terrorist attacks: "Tomorrow when you get back to work, work hard like you always have."
"My administration has a job to do. And we're going to do it," Bush said upon his return to the White House from a weekend at the presidential retreat at Camp David.
Bush said those who carried out the attacks on "buildings filled with innocent people" in New York and Washington "have declared war on America. They've made a terrible mistake."
He brushed off a statement attributed to Osama bin Laden denying a role in the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. "No question, he is the prime suspect. No question about that," Bush said.
