Do I have this right or not?
I, {insert name here}, do solemnly swear, (or affirm), that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
If that's the oath, then he swore to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That would mean he took an oath to not go to war, since the "enemy" in this case, would be the CIC. The war is clearly unconstitutional, no matter what congress said--there was no declaration of war. So the only way he could have obeyed his oath was to do what he did and refuse to deploy to Iraq. No?
