Rove fired back: "Senator, with all due respect, the U.S. military and U.S. intelligence agencies made every effort possible to get Osama bin Laden, and frankly I don't think it reflects well on our military and intelligence services to suggest that they didn't."

Cleland lost his U.S. Senate seat to Republican Saxby Chambliss, who suggested Cleland was soft on terrorism, and Cleland supporters said Rove was behind that.

Cleland argued that assets have been pulled away from Afghanistan and sent to Iraq, and the two men heatedly spoke over each for a few seconds.

The president's brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, said that if the United States does not spread democracy, what country will?

"God has given every person the zeal for freedom," Bush said. "It is incumbent upon us to do our part to give people that want freedom the chance to pursue it."

Rove said the country has helped spread democracy in Africa, Asia and Europe over the last 30 years.

    I sent the following email to the Subscription Department just now: I have subscribed to Newsweek for over 40 years, and have enjoyed it immensely. However, hiring Karl Rove, the "Architect" of an immoral, arrogant, incompetent, and divisive Administration which chooses to deny human rights at home and conduct war-mongering abroad is something I will not condone.
    Since we just renewed on 3 December for another year, please refund my full subscription price. Thank you
