In Turkish movie, Americans kill innocents
ABC News ^

Posted on 02/02/2006 3:03:23 PM PST by Axlrose

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.

Increasingly negative feelings? These ABC writer is a psycho freak. He thinks it is increasingly negative feelings (due to Bush of course) that causes them to make up this sort of overtly anti-semitic story and claptrap?

This is a good example of Freudian projection, for who really has been committing atrocities against people in Iraq? The Turks have been after the Kurds for decades, and the Kurds are perhaps our best friends in Iraq.

The pieces fit together very well. This is the thanks we get for backing Turkey, for example, for membership in the EU.

It is an interesting country!

I checked the cast list and the only two I'd even heard of were Gary Busey (the guy who played the traitorous XO in Under Siege) and Ghassan Massoud (he played Saladin in Kingdom of Heaven). They don't list the director, so I can't tell you who wrote this piece of garbage, but it is based on a Turkish TV series that has been their #1 hit the past three seasons.

Here's a link to Imdb's listing of it.

Gary Busey was sober enough to show up?

Too bad he won't get whacked by Sgt Martin Riggs ala Lethal Weapon

As much our allies as France usually is, so I guess you may have something there!

FATHER:
You killed eight wedding guests in all!
LAUNCELOT:
Well, uh, you see, the thing is, I thought your son was a lady.
FATHER:
I can understand that.
HERBERT:
Hurry, Sir Launcelot! Hurry!
FATHER:
Shut up! You only killed the bride's father, that's all!
LAUNCELOT:
Well, I really didn't mean to...
FATHER:
Didn't mean to?! You put your sword right through his head!
LAUNCELOT:
Oh, dear. Is he all right?
FATHER:
You even kicked the bride in the chest! This is going to cost me a fortune!
LAUNCELOT:
Well, I can explain. I was in the forest, um, riding north from Camelot, when I got this note, you see--
FATHER:
Camelot? Are you from, uh, Camelot?
HERBERT:
Hurry, Sir Launcelot!
LAUNCELOT:
Uh, I am a Knight of King Arthur, sir.
FATHER:
Very nice castle, Camelot. Uh, very good pig country.

One recent opinion poll revealed the depth of the hostility in Turkey toward Americans:

OK, this is just silly: of those that responded... 53 percent responded that we are rude... 70 percent responded we are violent.. 68 percent that we are greedy... and 57 percent that we are immoral...

Anywho, I wonder what the 2005 Pew Global Attitudes survey showed Americans' opinions of Turks showed?

It's guaranteed at least a nomination for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars next year.

Probably that we're glad to have them around during Thanksgiving.

Gary Busey plays the Jewish-American doctor

I don't think Busey looks much like a Jewish American Doctor so much as he looks like he needs a Jewish American Doctor.. very badly. Or even a French Doctor, heck a witch doctor could probably improve the way he looks.

India and Poland are the only two nations listed with above 60% favorable opinion of us as of 2005...

maybe it's better they fear us rather than like us anyhow...

Do these nations' citizens care what we think about them, as much as some Americans care about the world's opinion of us?

the liberal artisans at the oscars are kicking themselves that they couldn't get this movie nominated for best picture of the year.

If we were to allow a movie to be made showing the sodomites of Iraq and Turkey acting like they have in real life, the furor of the liberals in the US would be so great the film would have to be shelved. Even in the 1960's David Lean had to water down what happened to Lawrence at the hands of the Turk Brokeback Mountain precursors.

What amazes me is that in Turkey, prostitutes remain virgins as long as men use the rectum as a receptacle instead of the woman's vagina..

This piece of crapola will be nominated next year, you can count on it. It'll be a big hit at Cannes, too.

Gary Busey...from Buddy Holly to this...
