Right-on. You're speaking of the prophecy of the 10-horned beast that makes up the world's
final government. Just to turn up the spook factor a bit let's start with the Western European Union's symbol. Count the stars and they add up to
10. (You can verify this by visiting the
WEU's homepage)
So setting aside all the prophecy around this particular problem, let's look at the basic facts that we are seeing here. Solona, or at least the
position he holds, has an enormous amount of power. He's currently on top of quite a few things. Let's make a quick list
- Western European Union Secretary-General
- Secretary-General of the Council of the EU
- High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP)
- EU Foreign Minister (As soon as treaty is ratified)
And in case of emergency (Article 12 Recommendation
666)
- Presides over Political and Security Committee (PSC)
- powers to convene the Council of the European
Union
Due to limited time, for now I'll just put out this question and hopefully answer it myself if no one else can. What if a major terrorist act occurs
in Europe. One the eclipses the Madrid train bombing. Who would benefit, and who would take charge or command of the EU's military action? What if
the Islamic community is being welcomed into Europe knowing full well that this will only cause discord and eventually a major crisis? This is not to
say that they would be the cause of the problem, but it could easily be pinned on Islam. We would now have a bold new leader (Solona) and a rallying
point, a common enemy. We must stamp out these terrorist, and as your commander of armed forces, I will guide you in this effort. Of course pinning
the problem on one Religious group would cause some serious problems, but all the more reason to increase the military grip.
Yes, Solona has much to gain if a major crisis breaks out in Europe. This crisis could come at any time. There's no telling what wheels are already
turning, and while the world focuses on the U.S. and Iraq, the EU's leaders are quietly moving to wards their goal.

Curriculum vitae of Mr Javier SOLANA MADARIAGA
Found another great gem
here while reading about the EU's security policies. Their
leader of "The war on Terror". Mr Gijs de Vries was appointed the first EU Counter-terrorism Co-ordinator. Read on and you'll see that this was
following a reccommendation by none other than Mr Javier Solana. Also take the time to read the
European Security Strategy which was "drafted under the responsibilities of
the EU High Representative JAVIER SOLANA" (Of course, who else?)
