These Middle Eastern types seem to be focused on executing wedding guests ~ they do that don't they?

[Unam Sanctam]

Those Hollywood jerks who participated in this anti-American propaganda have a lot to answer for!

[weegee]

Billy Zane and Gary Busey. I'd like to see them on tv and radio defending their roles

"Joey, have you ever been inside a Turkish prison?"

There was a 1200 yr old Shrine-Mosque that was blown up in Samarra a month ago. The rumor spread that it was CIA. This film has the exact scene, and it really spells trouble for our troops.

I agree what they did was worse than what Jason Isaacs did in Patriot, where he based his character on a SS eisengruppen commander.

Joking apart any American actor who took part in that Turkish film should be forced to publicly apologies for what is a disgusting piece of propaganda.

A hundred times worse than patriot which I found quite boring apart from when the colonel run his sword through Mel Gibson's son, I enjoyed that bit.

This Muslim hate film is very popular in Turkey, which is supposed to be "moderate" Islamic state. Apparently, even the moderate Muslims are filled with hate.

Sadly the Turks are no longer our friends.

I lived in Izmir in the 60s as a NATO dependent - and while the Turks were sort of floundering between civilization and their wild 'Taras Bulba' roots, they were a reliable ally to the US.

Since their refusal to cooperate with us during our invasion of Iraq, they have fallen into the dung pile of history, in my opinion.

As I said once before, Attaturk would be NOT be proud of his people today.

The movie begins with a portrayal of a real event in 2003, when U.S. soldiers mistakenly arrested 11 Turkish commandos in northern Iraq, sparking a brief diplomatic clash between the U.S. and Turkey.

Mistakenly? Um, they were agents of a foreign government in a warzone. They could've been killed.

Tony, Tony, Tony - let it go. The King at the time was
German for God's sake. and Lord North wasn't a Gladstone.

Re let it go.

Why I have to have a bit of fun and as much as I like and admire Americans, you cant tell me to stop having fun and winding them up. By insulting Patriot.

Got to have some fun out of life

"Sadly the Turks are no longer our friends."

Never been our friends.
See...a former powerful Ottoman Empire, now the Turks beg at the entrance of European Union. An most probably they do not get in it. Feel their pain(humiliation)...

[TEXASPROUD]

Tony,
Good to see ya back with us. How's the family?

[tonycavanagh]

Hi Texas not bad Not sure if I told you Geraldine now has a little brother John.

[When do we get liberated?]

O.K. I must have missed that....how did he base his charachter on an SS officer? It has been a while since I have seen the movie, but I would describe it as loosely accurate. The British were known to kill traitors to the crown and burn property used by said traitors. The last battle was very accurate to the battle of Cowpens, however they didn't use the name. Does someone have to drag a NAZI into every thread? lol!

Why was that a mistake? What business did Turkish commandos have in Iraq?

"you cant tell me to stop having fun and winding them up. By insulting Patriot."

lol.... Thats actually kind of sad since I didn't even realize what you were trying to do. I just thought you were sorta sadistic. PS. I didn't really care for the movie either. Bad acting.

"Billy Zane and Gary Busey. I'd like to see them on tv and radio defending their roles"

Probably the only work they can find. Don't worry. they will get whats coming to them. They played evil Americans in the movie. It's just a matter of time before some whacked out Muslim recognizes them and cuts their heads off for being evil American soldiers.

I almost feel sorry for them. They are marked men. There will be huge areas of Europe where they will never be able to show their faces again.
