I did not realize Bush signed law to invade the Netherlands....(ICC)
Three months later, George W. Bush signed a new law prohibiting any U.S. cooperation with the International Criminal Court. The law went so far as to include a provision authorizing the president to "use all means necessary and appropriate," including a military invasion of the Netherlands, to free U.S. personnel detained or imprisoned by the ICC.

5. Saw that paragraph within another post earlier
and had visons of marines peddling furiously across Holland - on bicycles. :rofl:

Wise to remember that an attack on any EU nation is an attack on the entire EU community.

6. Yup. I remember that. Amazing, isn't it?
Our illustrious Congressional members seemed to think that was just hunky dory.
