War in the Making?

There is a problem in Europe these days. The continent suffered two big wars in the last century – so many different countries, with different cultures, with different interests always causes tensions to arrise. We are used to Germany starting and causing our wars, but… today it seems that a new, devastating war, could be caused by… Belgium.

Belgium’s Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt is angry that the Dutch city of Maastricht has decided to move its ‘coffeeshops’ to the border with Belgium. He sent Dutch PM Jan Peter Balkenende an angry letter, telling him that what Maastricht wants to do is in breach with European law and that he wants Balkenende to prevent this from happening. Or else.

Good Lord, I hope that Balkenende will understand that he’s playing with french fries fire.

Lets also hope the patattekes don’t decide that the only way to resolve this issue is by the use of force.

    Where are the Arabs and couscous in this story. Can’t have WWIV without evil brown skinned non-Christians…

  2. nicrivera says:

    But were these “coffeeshops” selling yellowcake? And if so, how credible is your intelligence? A “slam dunk” case?

  3. I am sure that they are behind it all Rudi.

    Good point!

  4. Nick: ‘my’ intelligence? I am Dutch. I believe that the intelligence of the Belgian government is not accurate. Verhofstadt can say that it’s a “slam fries” case, but I disagree.

  5. Rudi says:

    NicR The hemp cake could be from the ME, probably Lebanon or Turkey. I will monitor the LittleDebster page for info. Little Debbie says the VT killer was possesed by Captain Ahab and Natty Bumppo.

  6. There we have it – good theory Rudi.

    What about Al Qaeda? Is there any link to AQ?

  7. nicrivera says:

    Rudi,

    Actually, I’ve just located the stockpiles of hemp cake. They’re in the area around Utrecht and Amsterdam and east, west, south and north somewhat.

  8. Rudi says:

    Mmmmmmm Bet the cakes really taste good with Dutch “coffee”. MvdG say “Boy Howdy” to John Sinclair(MC5) when you see him for yellowcake.

  9. Rudi says:

    Nic – Now that Weldon and Sanctorum are out of politics, maybe they can investigate the Iraqis connections to the Amsterdam yellowcake. Maybe the”Iraq WMD’s and Mettallica” are buried their. The young Dutch lad could help the fine gentlemen from Penn. With this digging and tunnel training MvdG will be a member of the “”Non gratum anus rodentum” crowd, a valueble asset in the GWOT and cannibis.

    What about Al Qaeda? Is there any link to AQ?

    Doesn’t matter, Michael. It’s all part of the GWOT (that’s the Global War on Tulips, of course).

  11. Sam says:

    Mobilizing the entire city’s coffeeshops to the border is a dangerous game of brinksmanship that I’m not sure the mayor of Maastricht is willing to follow thru on. I don’t know if a joint UN statement condemning this act will carry sufficient weight to force both parties to the negotiating table. Let’s hope cooler heads prevail.

  12. Pyst says:

    LMAO you guys are on FIRE! today hahahaha

  13. Rudi says:

    CS – What will global warming do to the tulips?
    If MvdG was around would NO have flooded.?

  14. Rudi says:

    Will the Belgian hostages be forced to drink the “coffee”? Look for sand in their eyes. Those evil Dutch have forsaken the Geneva Convention. Will Hawkeye and Michael lead Cora and Alice back home for waffles?

  15. Sam: amen brother.

    C.S.: those darned ‘tulips’! Is this code for another plant?

  16. nicrivera says:

    Rudi,

    It’s been pretty well confirmed that Mohammed Atta met with high-ranking Dutch officials in these “coffeeshops.”

  17. nicrivera says:

    BREAKING NEWS:

    The U.S. House of Representative just voted 283 – 149 to change the name of “Belgian Waffles” to “Freedom Waffles.”

  18. Sam says:

    MESS IN MAASTRICHT UPDATE: An source high up in the belgian administration who wish to be remain unnamed said they suspect the Dutch of using industrial roasters to enrich the flavor of their coffee beans, most likely to produce weapons grade espresso. When asked about a possible response he said, “Every option is currently still on the table. Skim milk, half-and-half, Equal, possibly even Splenda.”

  19. Rudi says:

    Sam – How soon before these evil bastards invade the Duchy of Grand Fenwick and get the Q-bomb? Their industrial strength grinders are only operating at 20%, they cannot make their lattes fast enough. This cannibis Jihad must be stopped now.

  20. People, I will be lightblogging the coming days, if at all: they have ordered all Dutch men, younger than 35, to prepare to fight. I might have to leave for training.

    Wish me luck godspeed people.

  21. Rudi says:

    Watch out for those shifty Belgians in rat tunnels.

  22. George Sorwell says:

    MvdG–

    Godspeed in the War on Tulipofascism!

  23. OutOfContext says:

    Be careful Michael, they have a secret weapon tucked away in a side street of Brussels that may jeopardize the glory of your victory.

  24. domajot says:

    You people should shop your act around – you’re ready for the Comedy Channel!

  25. Rudi says:

    A little humor without ad hominem attack, imagine that.
