Obama says Bush does not understand role as US commander in chief - International Herald Tribune

And Obama does?

Link: Obama says Bush does not understand role as US commander in chief - International Herald Tribune.

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire: U.S. President George W. Bush grossly misunderstands his role as commander in chief, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Friday. Addressing a New Hampshire audience, the senator commented on the president's repeated statements that he would rather listen to military leaders than politicians in Washington on U.S. strategy in Iraq. "When President Bush says, 'I just want to give the commanders what they want, listen to the generals,' he doesn't understand how we work here in America. Civilians control the military and we are supposed to set the mission for the generals and then the generals should carry out the mission," Obama said.
