Petraeus Not Interested In Presidency

General David Petraeus is not interested in being president.

Asked on "Fox News Sunday" if he had an interest in running for president, Petraeus invoked the words of General Sherman:

A leading Union general in the war, Sherman said in a telegram to the Republican National Convention in 1884, when he was being urged to run for president, "I will not accept if nominated, and I will not serve if elected," according to "The Yale Book of Quotations."

Here's the video. Petraeus talks about the decline of news coverage about Iraq before he is asked about the presidency.

I'm pleased about this. This man is a man of true service and we ought not to corrupt this. A name comes to mind: Wesley Clark. Oh yes..... Tsk Tsk Tsk
