You know, I liked Billy Zane as an actor for the role he played in "Titanic."

However, I have now purchased or watched my last Billy Zane film, playing as he does a murderous US soldier a.k.a. John Kerry's early 1970's 'testimony.' Same for Gary Busey, playing an evil Jewish Dr. Mengele. Unbelievable. This film reaches new lows in its portrayal of the U.S. military and of the Jewish people, physicians of all things.

What an utter disgrace. Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick.

John Kerry could have written the script, no doubt.

ISTANBUL, Turkey (Feb. 2) - 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.

The movie, which reportedly cost some $10 million, is the latest in a new genre of popular culture that demonizes the United States. It comes on the heels of a novel called "Metal Storm" about a war between Turkey and the U.S., which has been a best seller for months.

One recent opinion poll revealed the depth of the hostility in Turkey toward Americans: 53 percent of Turks who responded to the 2005 Pew Global Attitudes survey associated Americans with the word "rude"; 70 percent with "violent"; 68 percent with "greedy"; and 57 percent with "immoral."

Advance tickets are already selling out across Turkey for the film, which has dialogue in Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish and English. In addition to Turkey, the film is set to be shown in more than a dozen other countries - including the United States, Britain, Germany, The Netherlands, Britain, Denmark, Russia, Egypt, Syria and Australia.

The movie's American stars are Billy Zane, who plays a self-professed "peacekeeper sent by God," and Gary Busey as the Jewish-American doctor.

BILLY ZANE AND GARY BUSEY FILMING ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA

So Turkey is abuzz about the imminent release of their biggest-budget movie blockbuster ever.

Americans, however, may not be so thrilled.

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.

At this point, movies that portray America are annoying, but common; I'm not sure the Americans in this film are much more sinister than the CIA and oil companies in the wretched Syriana.

But what's special about this one is that some pretty prominent American actors are joining in the America-bashing:

The movie's American stars are Billy Zane, who plays a self-professed peacekeeper sent by God, and Gary Busey as the Jewish-American doctor.

Pardon my French, but Billy, Gary... you're whores. You will contribute to the vilest propaganda for a pile of cash. You're actors; we knew you would sell out your mother for a name above the title and a share of the home video rights, but now you're willing to act out stereotypes straight out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion for some Turkish lira.
