Article 2, Section 2 - The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several State... 

President Barack Obama's new posture toward Afghanistan and Pakistan, to be unveiled tomorrow, codifies for the first time Iran's role in regional diplomacy, emphasizes counter terrorism as the primary mission of U.S. policy, and includes a multi-modal surge of civilians and economic aid to both countries. In seeking to reassure Americans that help to Pakistan is contingent on internal reforms, he plans to stress that Americans will work with those in both countries who demonstratively seek peace and reconciliation. The article says that this will be interpreted as a warning to both President Asif Ali Zardari in Pakistan and President Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan.
