The New "Tar-Baby" Adventures
From Afghanistan to Iran, Br'er George's War on Terror is stickier than Ol' Br'er Rabbit Had with that Tarbaby
The New Tar-Baby Adventures

Br'er George was moving down the road from Afghanistan and was basking in the glow of a slam-dunk spanking he had given the Taliban Family. He realized this neighborhood was dangerous to his long term interests (along with reports of plots against Gran George). He was resolved he was going to do something about it.

In particular, there was Br'er Saddam who seemed as incorrigible as ever, showing no one no respect , even after having his butt handed to him, earlier. Well, Br'er George wasn't going to have anymore of this, particulary since Br'er Saddam was still being a political nuisance and the bogeyman, military threat.

Br'er George was saying to himself, "We dropped the ball on those NGO-terrorists, we can't do the same on a government organized for such a capability."

Never mind that Br'er Saddam was as secular as the Devil, or that none of his citizens had been apart or associated with the "19 Martyrs" responsible for the sneak (?) attack and deaths of American citizens on our homeland. With nothing else to keep the angst at the high level of retribution for the public-and the malleability of the Congress for the "Patriotic Cause", Br'er George needed a new focus, since capturing Br'er Osama and his Taliban hosts in the hills of the Hindu-Kush was not going to happen soon enough for him to continue his agenda.

So Br'er George confronts Br'er Saddam about those rumored intelligence of his WMD's. Br'er Saddam, like that tar-baby. wasn't going to say nothing to give himself away, one way or another. He had problems at home and next door in Iran with those sectarian Shiites. Better give a bluff and hope he could run out the clock on US domestic retribution than expose himself as an OZian tyrant with nothing bigger than a desire in his hands, leaving himself vulnerable to less credibility and less fear by which he existed and stayed in power.

Well, Br'er George couldn't have asked for anything more. Besides his "wise-men" said that taking out Saddam would be a repeat of the easy job done in Afghanistan, with even more upside for the projected enterprise. "What could possibly go wrong??"Politically, not much. The Dems were more docile than Sylvester the Cat. The "Bleeds it Leads" media were loving the ratings revenue they were getting from the geo-political drama that was better than their "reality " shows. We had the weapons and the troops. This was going to be a victory parade even greater than the march down the Champs Elysee in 1944 Paris.

Unfortunately, as Saddam realized that the Congress and the UN were rolling over for the worse case scenario he was enabling by his inferred acknowledgement of having what everybody was rightly or cynically speculating about his WMD, he knew his titular days as head of the government were numbered. BUT, Br'er Saddam reasoned, he might no longer rule from his palaces, but he could direct guerilla operations from a spider-hole, if necessary. He'd send his least trust worthy units to the front to be the sacrificial "Spartans of Themopolye" while his hard-core loyalist would melt into the hills to organize for the insurgency.

This tar-bay plot thickens. The Coalition of the Willing negligently lets the Iraqi army dissolve and go there way without any confinement and vetting, AND they left the munitions out for any enterprising passer-by to get "free-fire works". AND they didn't put a lid on the borders.

Br'er George just compounded things more by announcing "Bring'em on" to any counter-occupation forces wanting to challenge the C-o-W. Br'er Osama, learning of these strategic and tactical lapses gets his hyper-ego visions of more insults to Br'er George and the Americans. As well, every other jihadi-wanna be the "Saladin" of this millenia heads for the Iraqi border. The Iraqi border was as well controlled as the US southern-Mexican border.

Five years later, Br'er George hasn't gotten the Champs Elysee reception, but a Stalingrad resistance. The latest strategy has his troops sitting on the lid of a suppressed insurgency that either has morphed into a cooperative confederate or a laying in wait civil war and alien jihadi-caliphate desiring invasion.

Having enough volunteers and re-enlistees for a minimal credible presence, Br'er George has to hold onto to this tar-baby hope that his successor will get another political mandate from an electorate whose economic security, let alone their domestic criminal justice security from random mass killings is becoming more of an ominous, imminent threat than we departing Iraq to its own domestic politics and geo-political fate.

Br'er George doesn't see his hands blood-red, but just blackened by the tar of pesistence he's held onto.

(Br'er Rabbit had a better exit strategy from his Tar-baby)
