Report: Dutch ignored law in supporting Iraq war

What promises were made to them?

in reference to:

"An independent commission charged Tuesday that the Dutch government let politics override law when it supported the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, and ignored intelligence that downplayed the threat of Saddam Hussein's weapons program.The report's findings could be damaging to Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende. But it said persistent rumors that the Dutch were militarily involvement in the operation were untrue.The report said Dutch intelligence agencies were "more reserved" in their assessments than the government when discussing the program in parliament."
