Bush promises to prevail in Iraq The president also vows to get the economy back on track as he raises millions for his campaign. By TOM RAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS Chicago, Ill. President Bush pledged to finish what his administration had begun, both abroad and at home, as he raised $5.3 million more for his re-election campaign. Brushing aside Democratic criticism about his handling of the economy and Iraq, the president told supporters on Tuesday, "We're laying the foundations greater prosperity and economic vitality and more jobs across America." The president spoke following disappointing reports on consumer confidence and Midwest business activity. Bush traveled later to Cincinnati for another fund-raiser in a private residence, boosting his overall campaign bank account to more than $82 million by day's end.

The $5.3 million take at the two events was the most raised in one day since Bush announced in May that he would seek another term, cording to a spokeswoman. Together, Illinois and Ohio, two Rust Belt industrial states, have lost 280,000 manufacturing jobs since Bush took office. "So long as anybody in America who wants to work is looking for job, I will work hard to make conditions for economic growth positive," Bush told about 1,700 supporters at a hotel luncheon. He also addressed business leaders at the University of Chicago School of Business. Bush pressed ahead with his reelection fund-raising tour in the face of slumping job approval ratings and new questions about his administration's conduct in making its case for war in Iraq.

Before leaving Washington, Bush instructed his staff to cooperate with a Justice Department investigation into whether the administration improperly disclosed the name of a covert CIA officer. "If there's al leak in my administration, I want to know who it is," Bush told reporters. Bush did not mention the issue in his speech at the fund-raising luncheon. But he did tell his audience that he and GOP leaders such as House Speaker Dennis Hastert, were working with him to try "to get rid of this needless partisan bickering 1 that dominates the Washington, D.C., landscape." On Iraq, Bush said, "Saddam holdouts and foreign terrorists are desperately trying to throw Iraq into chaos by attacking coalition forces and aid workers and innocent "This collection of killers is tryto shake the will of America the civilized world. But America will not be intimidated," what he said.

"We will finish what we have begun and win this essential victory in the war on terror."
