It's news to me that Bush in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief makes foreign policy. And here was I all along thinking that as C-in-C the President is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. Unless Chris Vaz is implying that the foreign policy of the United States is carried out through the Armed Forces. Actually he's nearer to the truth than he realizes. Which would make Bush a kin of Pervez Musharref and the US akin to Pakistan.
Something new I also learned fron Chris Vaz is that Bush "dictated" foreign policy to his cabinet officers Cheney and Rumsfeld. Poor Condolezza Rice as Secretary of State which has charge of foreign policy has been left completely out of Chris Vaz's equation.
