Another Bushism. What he should have said was you shouldn't use your position as head of the military to install yourself in power over democratic elections.
I think in this case, no. While in the US, the "Commander-in-Chief" is a function attached to the Presidency, in many coutries it refers to the chief military officer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander-in-Chief
I'll give this on to Bush, though the effect was funny.
I'll have to agree with you on this one. The United States' Commander-in-Chief may not be the same as the head of the military in other countries, even other Democratic countries.
It was still funny, nonetheless.
