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.
