President Bush's top Iraq war commander said Sunday that his command performances will be strictly military, not political.
Army Gen. David H. Petraeus cited Civil War-era Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman in declaring he had no interest in running for the White House.
"None," Petraeus replied from Baghdad, when asked on "Fox News Sunday." "And I think that Gen. Sherman had it right . . . when asked a similar question."
The Union general said in a telegram to the 1884 Republican National Convention: "I will not accept if nominated, and I will not serve if elected."
