It doesn't matter how strong, or otherwise the dutch army is. It wouldn't be their fight. As the ICC is run by the UN, the UN would take responsibilty for it. I don't even know how I got into this, because, if the US army wanted to break out a US prisoner, I doubt many countries would be able to stop them. And it is not just about sheer power, it is the about how tactics and methods of the Special Forces, that would deal with it.
Everyone kept talking about NATO, but I just wanted to say, that the ICC, is a UN court, and both countries are UN countries as well as NATO countries, so the UN would supercede NATO anyway.
Edit: You said before that the Dutch wouldn't take it lying down; But i'd doubt they even care, so long as no Dutch people/property got harmed in the breakout. As far as I always thought, the ICC, like the headquarters are UN buildings, and UN responsiblity. They just have to be in a country. In this case Holland or the US.
