 The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Top generals say U.S. troops' presence may fuel insurgency
WASHINGTON — The U.S. generals running the war in Iraq presented a new assessment of the military situation in public comments and sworn testimony this week: The 149,000 U.S. troops in Iraq are increasingly part of the problem.
During a trip to Washington, the generals said the presence of U.S. forces was fueling the insurgency, fostering an undesirable dependency on American troops among the nascent Iraqi military, and energizing terrorists across the Middle East.
The generals' comments reflect an evolving outlook that senior military officials and even Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld have articulated in recent months: The battle against Iraqi insurgents will not be won by the U.S. military, and that the insurgency will go on long after U.S. troops have left Iraq.

The Harlem Globetrotters are a comic basketball team that combines athleticism and comedy to create one of the best-known sports franchises in the world.
Created by Abe Saperstein in 1927 in the United States, over the years, they have toured more than 100 countries putting on exhibition games, mostly against hopeless opposition like the Washington Generals (until 1995) and the New York Nationals (1995-present) and played over 20,000 games.
The Globetrotters started in the Negro American Legion League as the "Giles Post," and in 1927 turned professional as the "Savoy Big Five." That year, promoter Saperstein bought the team and re-named it the Harlem Globetrotters, after the most famous of all African American neighborhoods.

 Mighty clash rattles the sabers of political, professional generals - The Washington Times: Civil War   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Except for the absence of bloodletting, it was a conflict rivaling the larger war in ferocity.
It probably, in large part, is because of the early triumph of the professional generals in historical memory that until this book, no one had written a full-length study of the war inside the war between the professional soldiers and the political generals.
While the war was still in progress, the general in chief of the Federal Army, Henry Wager Halleck, consistently championed this view, that success in war essentially was a matter of winning battles and campaigns, and so Halleck took an especially dim view of political generals.
