Gee, if it wereme as a Dutch soldier, I would have whipped them senseless with a wooden shoe, and then placed some tulips on them as I laid their sorry, unconscious carcasses on the side of the road.

We're finding so many weapons. It's up to the Iraqi people to let us know where they are. They're making themselves future victims if they don't.

Here's a link to a website, it looks as though it's some Dutch Marines in Iraq.

Hasn't the media done an excellent job of keeping us informed!? These are the same people who had a COW when their own elite club members was murdered in RacketStan.

It's time to start summarily executing this filth on the roadside (after they are draped with bacon strips.)

I think every good American can be thankful we've got allies like this in Iraq. Well, unless you're John Kerry -- in which case you'd say these troops are part of a "fradulant coalition."

Seems to me that the Dutch have been very helpful to us throughout the war on terrorism.

I remember the run-up to the Iraq operation, when NATO refused to send Patriot missles to defend Turkey. The Dutch government sent some of their own Patriots to Turkey. They're a real stand-up ally.

How can this be? I thought we were in Iraq alone? John Kerry says we went to war unilaterally!
