1. It happened before that they lied about their financial situation.

    Guess some people never learn.


  2. Yes, Greece became a member of the EU that way.

    His Grandmother said the same thing - that he was born in Kenya and that she was present for the birth....


    You a birther?


  4. You know what they say about relationships based on lies.
  5. The rest was in denial, we all knew it. But every once in a while we forget and then Greece presents the bill

    To be honest though, there are more EU countries who are having problems now. And these aren't the easiest times.

    And to think Obama thinks the U.S. should be more like you guys. Your just about as screwed up as we are right now.

    Also props to your countrys Navy for kicking Somali pirate ass, and rescuing the crew of a German freighter.

    Although, personally I think the U.S. could have handeled it slightly better, its good to have allies to help make it safe to travel off the coast of Somalia.
  7. Not to brag or anything, but most EU countries have stuff more than under control. There are advantages of 'being dutch'.

    And thumbs up to our anti-pirate allies

    Its really a bad time to be a pirate. A month or two ago, a U.S. frigate, captured/killed like 10-20 of them.

    Last year, both the U.S, and French had massive sucess against them, along with various other countrys.

    For the record, I didn't know that the Dutch Navy had teams trained in boarding ops, and hostage rescue.
  9. Anyone else pissed that Iran has been apointed to the UN council on womens rights?
  10. Seriously? We've only captured them. Can't remember having so much casualties

    EDIT:

    Don't know half about what the Dutch navy does or not do. Although our naval history is pretty huge.


  11. Vidoe of the Dutch navys dramatic rescue. Note that they where under fire even before they hit the deck.

    I think theres currently ships for 10-15 diffrent Navys operating in that area.

    The best know contributions are American, and British, but I think we can say the Dutch proved there worth.
