The terrorists may finally be losing in the Middle East. And, the Russian Federation may be losing the Ukraine. But, under Javier Solana's direction, the EU appears to be always winning.

Speaking about Solana, noticed it was said in this report that it was Solana who opened the door to eventual Ukraine EU membership Read about it here. The interesting thing about this was, the report also stated the EU's Executive Commission had just last week stated it had no plans to consider Ukrainian membership. The implication is, Solana has more say in the matter then does the EU's Executive Commission.

This brings up an intriguing question. Just how much power right now does Solana have. We know that when the EU's new Constitution enters into force, Solana will become very powerful. He will become the EU's Foreign Minister and Commission Vice-President. This will place Solana over both the EU's vast military and civilian geo-political capabilities. On top of that, he will also have full power of attorney and initiative. But, what if the Constitution fails to enter into force? You see, all it will take to keep the Constitution from entering into force is for one of the 25 member states to fail to ratify it. What happens to Solana then?

I don't think it would matter. You see, already Solana is building the infrastructure to his revived Roman Empire. He's putting together his cabinet and many agencies. You could say Solana already has his shadow government. So, even should the Constitution fail, he'll already have what he needs. Besides, somebody is going to have to run the EU's foreign and security policy with, or without, the new Constitution.

And, think about it. Why would the EU heads task Solana with building a shadow government he's not someday going to be able to use?

Like he just did in the Ukraine.
