I'm going to get right to my pithy point... "Commander-in-chief" is but one role that our president must do well in order to be considered competent. Obviously the current occupant is way over his head in this regard notwithstanding the lack of media honesty with respect to the so called GWOT.

I'm going to shout so everyone can hear me: THE CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT ARE NOT RUNNING FOR THE POSITION OF COMMANDER IN CHIEF! Please, for the love of all that is holy, stop saying this in your diaries and comments. You play right into the right wing media's unsubstantiated meme where Republicans are strong on defense and Dems are modern day Elmer Fudds. CINC is the president's role with respect the military. You know, those dudes and gals in the snappy uniforms sometimes seen carrying m16s. I know, with the suspension of Habeus Corpus we may all end up in camps with a full time CINC, but for now can we please get this one detail accurate?
