Producer's Desk — war

What is “The Producer’s Desk”?

As you know, Richard Land LIVE! is a once-a-week broadcast. This is fine and good, but some of us are—let’s be honest—borderline ‘addicts’ when it comes to reading the news and blogs. Fear not! This is where the Producer’s Desk fills that Sunday-through-Friday void when RLL is not broadcasting.

Subscribe to this feed in your news-reader or email and read what Richard and the Richard Land LIVE! producers are reading throughout the week! (Hint: It may inform what you hear on the Saturday live broadcast.)

We hope you enjoy!

My latest post to Casting Stones…

“…Schieffer was asking General Clark about his description of Senator McCain as “untested and untried,” and when pressed by Schieffer, Clark said, “I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.” While these comments have caused considerable controversy, it is not the first time General Clark has questioned or downgraded Senator McCain’s experience…”

From the June 1, 2008 Washington Post:

EXCERPT: Iraq passed a turning point last fall when the U.S. counterinsurgency campaign launched in early 2007 produced a dramatic drop in violence and quelled the incipient sectarian war between Sunnis and Shiites. Now, another tipping point may be near, one that sees the Iraqi government and army restoring order in almost all of the country, dispersing both rival militias and the Iranian-trained “special groups” that have used them as cover to wage war against Americans. It is — of course — too early to celebrate… Still, the rapidly improving conditions should allow U.S. commanders to make some welcome adjustments — and it ought to mandate an already-overdue rethinking by the “this-war-is-lost” caucus in Washington, including Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).

Thanks to everyone who took the time to write Richard Land! Here are a few excerpts of your responses to Saturday’s broadcast:

Responses edited for brevity.

Steven from Missouri: “Dearest Richard, I am a disabled Veteran and I was on my way home last tonight from visiting my wife who is in the hospital for lung issues. I fully agree with your comments to the caller named Heather. She hasn’t a clue. War is not a pretty thing!! In fact if you ask anyone what they would prefer when it comes to war they in their sane minds would try to avoid it at any costs and as a last resort. I get a little tired of these armchair warriors… In my opinion we should’ve gone in and conquered Iraq… because I don’t believe that any Americans blood spilled on foreign soil should get a return on their investment (their lives). Thank you Richard I really do appreciate your ministry.”

Bruce from Alberta, Canada: I was going to phone in to your show today, May 31, and say that not all Canadians are liberals. Many, especially in the prairie provinces, are conservative. Canada has a Conservative government and Alberta has had provincial Conservative governments since 1971. I’d like all of America to know that we aren’t all a bunch of pinko nut-cases up here. I listen to your show because we have nothing like it here.

Ann: All is excellent but if you don’t have time for all of it, move slider in to 27:17 for Heather’s question. One of the best explanations for war that I have heard. Sadam killed 330,000 of his people, rape rooms, children’s prisons, son delivered a woman in pieces to her family…

Dr. Land’s most recent post to Beliefnet:

“…These countries are just a few of the examples of the fact that when given the opportunity, majority Muslim countries embrace free elections, and when they exercise their franchise, they do not choose radical Islamist candidates to represent them. That is why the radicals try to murder and terrorize their way to power – like all totalitarians, they don’t do well in the democratic process. Could the Bush doctrine of promoting free and fair elections in Muslim majority countries – actually be working?” Read the rest at Beliefnet…

America’s National Security At Risk - Richard Land

“Americans are less safe today from terrorists than two weeks ago. On Feb. 16, a critical law authorizing our intelligence community to monitor foreign terrorists’ communications expired… Liberals in Congress appear more interested in empowering the lawyers to sue the telecommunications companies than they are in providing for the security of United States citizens…” - Richard Land
