WASHINGTON (CNN) — General David Petraeus, head of the U.S. Central Command, has asked a pro-military group with extensive public ties to conservative leaders to remove references to him from its Web site because they incorrectly appear to show Petraeus endorsing the group’s political stances, his aides told CNN Friday.

The organization — MoveAmericaForward.org (MAF) — sponsors events supporting military troops in the field, but has also taken public positions on military issues in opposition to those advanced by President Barack Obama. Petraeus’ aides insisted to CNN that the general was not endorsing the group and was upset the Web site appeared to show that he was.

The aides asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of any appearance that Petraeus might be involved in an organization advancing anti-administration views.
