"... [this movie] has a number of scenes depicting US troops in Iraq in a poor light, showing them abusing prisoners, shooting innocent civilians and even being involved in the illegal trade of organs. ... Apart from recommending US troops stay away from cinemas where the movie is being screened, the order also stressed the military personal should “not to discuss the movie with anybody they do not know.” "
This movie - a Turkish movie - is sadly just one of long line of anti-American movies, nit just made by foreigners, but made by the Leftie doves of Hollywood - (this Turkish movie has 2 beens, but this applies to Hollywood's two major Leftie megastars Michael Moore and Clooney). These folks actually produce anti-American propaganda for the enemy, and then have the audacity to blame Bush for our nations bad PR image among foreigners, as if HE was the problem. He isn't; their euroleft-pandering, jihdoterrorist-pandering, back-stabbing self-loathing is.
NEED PROOF? I don't see anyone in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Ukriane, or Georgia thanking Hollywood for their freedom and democracy. They ALL thank GEORGE BUSH and the USA.
Rightly so! By the Way: Can ANYONE imagine Hollywood producing anti-American propaganda during WW2!?!? And FDR INTERNED 50,000 citizens and was FIRE BOMBING civilian targets! But the Left supported him and the USA then. WONDER WHY? Well, I think for three reasons: (1) the studios were owned by 1st generation Americans who had themselves fled tyranny and LOVED America; (2) the Hollywood Left loved FDR - despite his excesses - (excesses which were WORSE than W's and the current Pentagon's) - because FDR was a socialist; and (3) in WW2, the USA was an ally of the USSR, and they LOVED the USSR.
If socialists Schroeder, and Putin, zuh chic frahnshman Jacques Chirac and the UN had suppported Bush's agggressive pro-democracy moves, then I am sure the Lefties in Hollywood would have, too. The Left feels that anything done by ANYONE on the Right - without the imprimatur of socialism - MUST BE FOR EVIL CORPORATIONS, or evil fundamentalist Christians (whom they also fear, and fear MORE than al Qaeda - except for "good" Christians like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and Jimmy Carter and Teddy Jo Kennedy and Genghis Kerry. What makes these "good" Christians? THEY SUPPORT ABORTION).
These Leftie propagandists are dupes and useful idiots. Their propaganda is a threat to our troops and the security of our nation. But a threat we can and will surmount.

by the way, how minor could the VP shooting be....i have never heard of a "very minor" accident where the victim is in "stable" condition for 3 full days.

the cheney story is still MINOR and unimportant.
ReplyDeletethe guy didn't die b4 he went to hopsital, so by hunting accident stabndards it is minor.
this kind of thing happens all the time.
the guy is 78, a slip on the sidewalk can lead to complications.
the story is only important to bushbashers.
Yes, FDR ordered Fire bombings personally.
ReplyDeleteHe got on the phone and told the military to firebomb cities, The military commanderes had nothing to do with theese decisions. After all it was FDR who personally led the charge in europe and told the military to bomb civilian targets, I suppose the Intel analists and the higher chain of command had nothing to do with it.
and you say the Bushbashers misplace blame....
Interesting.
SPARTY; FDR DID APPROVE THE FIRE-BOMBING OF DRESDEN AND TOKYO = PERSONALLY. YOU CAN LOOK IT UP.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE you Dumkoph. I find no evidence of it.

Errol Morris Presents Robert S. McNamara, Larry Calloway points out that McNamara said in an interview with Morris, "[T]hat when [General Curtis] LeMay served under him in the Kennedy administration, the old general commented that if Japan had won the war they both would have been charged for acting like war criminals." To many, including especially those who served in the military during the war, this is ridiculous, morally absurd. Before getting into this, I should note that just on the fire bombing of March 9-10, 1944, near 100,000 Japanese civilians were killed, more than died in the Hiroshima atomic bombing. In the war overall, bombing of Japanese cities might have killed about 337,000, including my estimate of 165,000 by atomic bombs, the quintessential city and civilian killers. Equally indiscriminate bombing of German cities by the United States and Britain may have killed about 410,000 German civilians.

There can be no doubt that FDR and Churchill set the policy and probably more importantly the tone of the war effort. Bombing policy was clearly enunciated at Casablanca [see below, sparty!] in the POINTBLANK directive of 14 May 1943. A policy that semantically gave both nations what they wanted in theory but that achieved the same result in practice. That is the eventual disruption of Germany's ability to support its fighting forces and in conjunction with the ground forces to defeat Germany. Much has been made of Harris’s aversion to panacea targets.26 Yet LeMay also wrote against panaceas comparing them to the "Fountain of Youth."27 Whether oil or ball bearings both men knew that only a sustained campaign against all the targets mentioned in POINTBLANK, which in fact meant almost anything in Germany, could victory be won. Many note the tonnage dropped by the 8th AAF on "precision" targets but in fact, the statistics show that Harris' Bomber Command dropped more tonnage and hence did not solely focus on "area" bombing.28

1943 - Roosevelt and Churchill hold the Casablanca Conference on 14 January, declaring that they will except nothing short of unconditional surrender from any of the Axis powers.
From 28 November to 1 December Roosevelt meets with Churchill and Stalin in Tehran, the capital of Iran. The three leaders discuss the details of their joint campaign against Hitler and reaffirm their joint policy of accepting nothing less than an unconditional surrender from Germany.

THE B-29s ROAD TO VICTORY IN JAPAN
THE FIRE-BOMBING OF JAPAN
INTRODUCTION: President Roosevelt had only one persisting thought; to retaliate against Japan and somehow bring as much destruction as possible and win the war. But how? If you look at a map you will see the military complexity of hitting Japan, almost completely protected by thousands of miles of water, and the land mass of China and Manchuria. Japan was out of reach. The B-17 certainly was not up to the task. Our military planners all agreed we could only reach Japan with a Superbomber capable of extreme range and carrying a massive bomb load. Normally such a venture would take many years to perfect. Could we wait that long? This story is about the heartaches, mistakes, losses of aircraft and crews, and problems encountered while traveling down our "road to victory".
THERE'S PLENTY MORE. DO SOME OF YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN IGNROANT - FINE.
JUST STOP LEAVING IGNORANT COMMENTS HERE.
For those of you that know little of Turkey, don't let this color your perceptions about Turkish people. This movie is based on a cheesey Turkish TV program that is doing their first full length feature film. It would be like if the A-Team(from the 80's) was suddenly a movie length drama about world conflicts. Would anyone take it very seriously? This is not a political movie. It is just trying to be a mindless action movie in which Americans happen to be the "bad" guys. Don't read so much into it. Would you want America's views represented by "Natural Born Killers"? Or some other stupid movie?
