Truth seekers who listen to Glenn Beck on radio have to be masochistic and self-loathing - that would be me. You know better than to listen, so I'll have to tell you what I heard this morning. Mr. Beck said that President Clinton should have done something about Saddam's plotting to assassinate ex-President George H. W. Bush. You'll recall that our present president said, "I want to get Saddam because he tried to murder my daddy."
Good grief. The historical record is that the four men arrested in Yemen for planning to kill the elder Bush were set free even though one of them confessed (under torture.) The plot was bogus.
But our impulsive and political animal in the White House at the time - Clinton - reacted to the news (read rumor) of the plot by ordering the U.S. Navy to fire 26 cruise missles into Baghdad at midnight. Scores of people were killed, including Iraq's most famous woman artist.
Clinton's murderous action was a result of ignorance, politics and who knows. Maybe Slick Willie did it just because he could.
Mr. Beck is aware of none of that. Our radio hero blabbers half-truth after half truth all morning long, and the masses love him. He boasts that he's the third-most-listened to liar, right after Rush and Sean.
He's probably right about that.
