Aruba and Holland will drop dead, no mercy. The British Police are so angry at the Dutch Police. The Dutch did not interrogate the 12 IndoDutch Aruban terrorits and let them go free like Joran. The DLE destroyed all the cellphone forensic evidences and records. Amsterdam is the new breeding bed for all the liquid suicide bombers. Aruba is transplant site. We now have exposed the Dutch is the No. 1 Enemy to Bush's Terrorists war. Boycott Dutch! Boycott Aruba!

Early on in the joranvandersloot.blogspot.com last November, one blogger from Holland reported that Joran showed Natalee's Alabama driver license to the people in the nightclub bar to prove that he was not a liar. He was with Natalee all the time til the end. Joran also shown Dompig a clip of Natalee's sex video when Dompig was in Holland looking at the corpse dogs.

The deported Columbians will buy the cabs from the bankrupted cab drivers. Somebody will build car bombs to eliminate the corruptions and coverups at the Oduber government. We are not advocating violence against the Aruban people. It is a trend that people are tied of the Joran lies and murders.

The poster above re Dutch and terrorists is right on. Twelve suspected terrorists in Britain are in jail facing prosecution, for "planning" terrorism on US aircrafts. God bless the Brits and the brillance of Scotland Yard!! While pilot FLYING from Holland to India, calls for fighter pilots as he fears terrorism, twelve Muslims are using cell phones during take off. What do the Dutch police do? Let the 12 go!! Idiots, the Dutch are. Idiots with a death wish!

Natalee's drivers license and a video with Natalee in it? Where are these things? I am surprised that Joe Mammana's private detectives have not been able to uncover these things and more as they have been working over there since the very beginning.
