I see that Suma has pronounced something I posted a lie:

I just dug this up from another thread. AND talk about getting emotional.. I suspect these are all lies and yet they are the kind of campaign crap being put out there.
The final analysis. Even if you don't like McCain... hold your nose and vote for him..

Talk about how the right political machine will come after Hillary . This is what makes it emotional as I cannot accept the lies that are being told.

I know that this is a BLOG but they are all over the internet.
UGH..... Mary HELP.

Shocker!... Clinton Holocaust Denying "Hillraiser" Is Producer of Virulent Anti-Semitic, Anti-American Film

"Valley of the Wolves Iraq" was an anti-Semitic, anti-American film featuring American actor Gary Busey as a Jewish U.S. army doctor who cuts out the organs of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib and sells them to wealthy foreign clients.
It also set box office records in Turkey.

In "Valley of the Wolves, Iraq," American soldiers are portrayed as, "violent, brutish, trigger-happy, civilian-murdering, hyper-religious, sadistic gun-nuts." And, that is just for starters... Never mind the evil Jewish doctor selling body parts from Abu Ghraib prisoners.

Unfortunately, Suma there's not a single falsehood in the post:

Mehmet Celebi is a Chicago businessman of Turkish extraction who is a big fundraiser and a Democratic delegate for Hillary:

.........
The major contributors could help Clinton draw support from Obama, argued another Clinton fundraiser, businessman Mehmet Celebi, a leader in Chicago's Turkish community.

Mehmet Celebi's company BMH Worldwide produced the Valley of the Wolves - Irak. Here is their press release saying so:

BMH WORLDWIDE BRINGS HOLLYWOOD STARS TO KURTLAR VADISI
October 6, 2005, Los Angeles, California --- Turkey's leading production company, Pana Film, producer of the record setting television show Kutlar Vadisi , is securing Hollywood stars thanks to an exclusive partnership with BMH Worldwide Entertainment (BMH). A U.S. based company with offices in Los Angeles and Chicago, BMH was founded by a trio of professionals including two Turkish-Americans and an American authority in the sports and entertainment industries. With 35 years of combined experience in the entertainment, sports, marketing and PR industries in the U.S., BMH's goal is to bring worldwide visibility to Turkey and the rapidly-expanding Turkish film and television industries. As a bridge between Hollywood and Turkey, BMH provides Turkish producers and corporations with access to world-class Hollywood icons.
BMH's partners issued the following statement: " BMH Worldwide will help facilitate access to world-class stars for Turkish producers and corporations looking to give their projects the Hollywood edge. Additionally, elite companies and organizations interested in integrating into the highly-lucrative U.S. market will be counseled on strategic marketing and PR services. We are proud and excited to have formed an alliance with Turkey's top production company Pana Film, which produces the most-watched series in Turkish television history. Our goal is to bring worldwide exposure to everything Turkey has to offer, and highlight the ever- expanding Turkish film and television industries. Turkey's promise in the entertainment industry is limitless and BMH will help it to reach its maximum potential." In August 2005, Pana Film formed a strategic alliance with BMH to secure world-class stars for its upcoming movie and TV series projects. Since that time, BMH has secured contracts with Titanic's Billy Zane, star of the top-grossing film in history, as well as Academy Award nominated actor, Gary Busey. Zane and Busey as well as up-and-coming stars Diego Serrano and Tito Ortiz, as well as film/stage and television veteran Spencer Garret will star in the upcoming feature film, "Kurtlar Vadisi-Irak". The shoot is scheduled to begin immediately. The impressive cast of seasoned American actors led by Zane and Busey arrive in Istanbul this week accompanied by BMH Worldwide executives, Mehmet Celebi, Bjorn Rebney and Huma Alpaytac Gruaz.
In addition, BMH has undertaken high-level negotiations with Academy Award winning American actors to take on prominent roles in the season premiere of Turkey's television phenomenon, Kurtlar Vadisi . Through its strategic alliance with BMH, Pana Film is finalizing deal points on agreements with two Hollywood screen giants whose names will be announced in the coming month. Both Pana Film and BMH Worldwide promise a big surprise that fans of "Kurtlar Vadisi,"will not want to miss.
BMH's founding partners leverage their expertise in the entertainment and sports industries as well as PR and marketing in the U.S. to form strategic alliances between Hollywood and Turkey. Bjorn Rebney, a Los Angeles based entertainment and sports attorney, is a leading authority on business creation, development and marketing for professional sports and entertainment businesses, teams, entertainers and athletes. He has represented elite world-class athletes and entertainers for many years. When representing the NFL Superbowl champion San Francisco 49'ers, he created one of the the largest, most economically successful corporate sponsorship in the team's history with companies such as Citibank, Wells Fargo, 3Com Corp, Coors, and Paramount. Most recently, he founded and developed Sugar Ray Leonard Boxing, serving as his company's President and CEO, where he produced and promoted a highly-rated television series which was broadcast for 3 years on the ESPN network in the US, reaching over 100 million homes per broadcast as well as being distributed internationally. Mehmet Celebi is one of the leaders of Turkish-American community in the U.S. He is also an expert in the financial industry where he held management positions in major global financial institutions and has advised numerous celebrities and high net worth individuals and companies on financial matters. He has also advised several film production companies in the U.S. on various film projects. Huma Alpaytac Gruaz is the founder/president of Alpaytac Marketing Communications, one of the fastest growing PR/Marketing agencies in the U.S. (500% growth within one year) that represents multi-national corporations. Gruaz has worked as a strategic marketing and PR consultant on programs of major corporations including Fortune 500 companies. A former president of Turkish American Cultural Alliance, Gruaz has received awards for her tireless volunteer work providing unprecedented media coverage on Turkey in the U.S. media.
BMH has offices in Los Angeles, California and Chicago, Illinois and is planning to open offices in Istanbul.

And the film is virulently anti-American and anti-Semitic. Even the BBC admits this:

Turkish rush to embrace anti-US film
By Sarah Rainsford
BBC News in Istanbul
Billy Zane and Gary Busey play "bad Americans"
It is rabidly anti-American, and it is the biggest draw in town.
With a budget of $10m (£5.7m), Valley of the Wolves Iraq is the most expensive film ever made in Turkey - and it is pulling record crowds.

..............
US violence
In one scene, trigger-happy US troops massacre civilians at a wedding party.
In another they firebomb a mosque during evening prayer. There are multiple summary executions.
.........
Even the doctor - played by Gary Busey - is evil, removing human organs from Iraqi prisoners to send to patients in the US, Israel and Britain.
........
This film poisons the climate in a way that enhances jingoistic nationalism among Turks

Middle East expert Cengiz Candar


And the movie has inspired violent attacks on Christians:

• According to [Compass Direct News], near the conclusion of 2007, "22-year-old Murat Tabuk reportedly admitted under police interrogation that the popular ultra-nationalist Turkish TV serial “Valley of the Wolves” had inspired him to plan Arkan’s [a Christian pastor in the region] murder." Also, a 19 year old "Muslim youth who stabbed an Italian priest in the stomach on December 16 reportedly admitted in his statement to police that he also had been influenced by an episode of “Valley of the Wolves.”
en.wikipedia.org

Thank you, Suma, for the accusation. It spurred me to investigate further and I discovered the anti-Christian attacks the movie (made by a Clinton delegate) has inspired.

More from reviewer, zombietime:

You can view the full unedited scene on Google Video here. The scene doesn't have dialogue in English, so instead I'll give a brief description for those who can't view the video -- the portion in bold was the part removed from the American version:
Trucks are seen pulling into Abu Ghraib prison. Inside, the Doctor removes a kidney from an unconscious patient, and carefully places it in a portable ice chest. He says something to a nurse. The trucks stop deep inside the prison. American soldiers place portable steps behind the largest truck. They open the doors and drag out the bodies of the Iraqis inside (who had been massacred earlier). The surviving Iraqis are brought down the steps and placed on stretchers. Back inside, the Doctor, having filled several ice chests with organs, is placing shipping labels on them.
It's not clearly visible in this video, but the shipping labels apparently have on them addresses in Israel and the U.S., according to earlier reviews of the Turkish release. The scene then continues at the beginning of the first video on this page, with Gary Busey saying, "I told you that these are living people, not animals" (dubbed into Turkish) as he inspects the dead and wounded Iraqis that have been brought to him.

Overall Impression

But really, aside from its controversial anti-Semitic aspect, Valley of the Wolves Iraq is just plain bad. Imagine someone randomly editing together all the discarded scenes left on the cutting room floor from a second-rate Chuck Norris action movie, and then dubbing it into Turkish. Voila! You've got Valley of the Wolves Iraq.

OK, maybe it's not that bad, but it's close. It's as if the filmmakers made a list of unrelated scenes that they knew would infuriate Turkish and Muslim sensibilities, and then concocted a flimsy storyline to connect them all together. Americans putting hoods on Turkish soldiers? Check. Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse? Check. American soldiers shooting up a Muslim wedding? Check. And on it goes: children being used as human shields, Americans insulting a Muslim woman, rogue CIA agents backstabbing everyone within reach, traitorous Kurds helping the Americans, Christians imagining that they are superior, Jews stealing organs, etc. Mostly, the film exists as a Muslim revenge fantasy -- revenge for the humiliation and shame brought upon them by the Americans and their allies. The Turkish secret agent is the everyman figure, meting out justice to the Christian and Jewish evildoers.
.................
Conclusion
Yes, Valley of the Wolves Iraq is as anti-American as it is rumored to be, and yes, it is anti-Semitic as well -- though the English-language version, with its edited-out scenes, is somewhat less offensive. And it is equally anti-Christian, though this aspect is rarely mentioned. But mostly it's just a cinematic dud, a ridiculous Turkish propaganda film that has little to interest anyone who isn't a nationalistic Turkish teenager with too much testosterone.

This all just goes to show the Clinton's are so low, they'll climb into bed with anyone.
