One or both

Good old G. W. Bush just said, in reference to the president of Pakistan, Musharraf, that "You can't be the president and the head of the military." when asked about the recent state of emergency and martial law that Musharraf has declared in Pakistan, the US's biggest (and perhaps only) middle eastern supporter in the war on Terror... hm... what would that make GW as Commander in Chief? I wonder...

"The point here is that in America the office of Commander-in-Chief is a CIVILIAN position not a military one. General Eisenhower took off the uniform when he became President. So no, you can’t be a civilian head of state and military head of the Armed Forces at the same time."
