Don't the Dutch have aircraft carriers?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I'm sure the Arubians want their island to become another Cuba.

[ParadigmLost]

Why a warship? Just print some Chavez cartoons. :)

I'll make the popcorn.

Sounds like Juran's time is up!

Hugo has already brought the country to bankruptcy. An article I read here at FR pointed out that he keeps asking the central bank for more money and they are about tapped out. In true socialist fashion, first bankrupt your own country, then seize other countries to bankrupt. And I must add, Democrats support him.

He and the others like him remind me of the portrayal of the aliens in "Independence Day." They are merely parasites who invade a world, deplete it of all its natural resources, then move on. Democrats, socialists or parasitic space aliens, there is no difference among them.

The Dutch are trying to get the United States to make a port call with an aircraft carrier, and its accompanying warships, at one of their Caribbean islands.

That's the proper way to go about it; the Monroe Doctrine still applies.

[Billthedrill]

Not a bad idea, actually. Baby Huey seems to have gotten the mistaken idea that because we're ignoring his tantrums we're frightened of him. He's always free to send his own aircraft carrier there...oh, wait, he doesn't have one. Too bad.

They don't need our fleet, just ban Venezuelan flagged ships from the port of Amsterdam.

And we should ask about their help in Iraq-Afghanistan, and elsewhere around the world in winning the WOT.

[Element187]

Scary message from the Dutch, eh? .... hmmm it doesnt involve pastries does it?

ha if Hugo even tries something, Dutch knows we got their back.

[colorado tanker]

It is most definitely in our interests to stand by our NATO ally and resist aggression by the Castroite Chavez.

All your base are belong to us.

I pray Chavez is dumb enough to make a move on the Antilles. It'd be the perfect excuse to drop a JDAM on his head.
