ABC News ^

ISTANBUL, Turkey Feb 2, 2006 — In the most expensive Turkish movie ever made, American soldiers in Iraq crash a wedding and pump a little boy full of lead in front of his mother.

They kill dozens of innocent people with random machine gun fire, shoot the groom in the head, and drag those left alive to Abu Ghraib prison where a Jewish doctor cuts out their organs, which he sells to rich people in New York, London and Tel Aviv.

"Valley of the Wolves Iraq" set to open in Turkey on Friday feeds off the increasingly negative feelings many Turks harbor toward their longtime NATO allies: Americans.

Unless the government of Turkey made the movie, your question is silly.

The director's probably already been signed to a three picture deal by Dreamworks.

depraved propaganda on behalf of both Islamo-fascists and left-wing nutcases..... are we sure it wasn't made by Alec Baldwin or others in Hollywood?

How is it different than a typical Michael Moore movie?

Are the sheep herders in the movie gay and seeking self-actualization?

According to our religion it is forbidden to portray images of soldiers killing innocent people. Perhaps now we should boycott Turkey, and burn their flags. /sarc

The media is somewhat under the control of the government in Turkey. To the extent that if the government felt that this movie should not be made, it would be unlikley to be made.

Further to that, evidently the Turkish street hates America enough to pay to see this movie.

Also, when America asked for Turkish help in routing the 4ID through Turkey, they refused to co-operate.

So again, NATO Allies ?

I should think ABC would be happy about this movie. This is the kind of behavior the networks have been trying to depict. This is the version of America they have been presenting to the world.

"In a new Turkish movie, "Kurtlar Vadisi - Irak" ("Valley of the Wolves--Iraq") U.S. soldiers are portrayed as brutal murderers who "kill dozens of innocent people with random machine gun fire, shoot the groom in the head, and drag those left alive to Abu Ghraib prison - where a Jewish doctor cuts out their organs, which he sells to rich people in New York, London and Tel Aviv," according to AP. Gary Busey plays the Jewish-American doctor.

Gee, where did they ever ever get the idea?

"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the--of--the historical customs, religious customs."

Does every country's people hate their country as much as Americans do? When did it become so chic to hate America?

"Then, there is actor Billy Zane. Boycott him, too.

He defames American soldiers, portraying one of this nasty movie's version: evil, brutal, cold-hearted murderers. According to a summary of the "fabulous" anti-American plot of this "film", his character, Sam W. Marshall,

raids [an] Arabian wedding where everyone from the region comes together. He kills tens of people. All are civilians. Leila, the bride of the wedding, loses her future groom in the killings. Apart from the people who were murdered there, also a lot of people are declared terrorists and arrested. "

"In the most expensive Turkish movie ever made,"[snip]
"The movie, which reportedly cost some $10 million,"[snip]

That is less than Ted Kennedy's bar tab...
