Here are two more unbelievable reports. First: The UK's Independent says the EU's High Representative Javier Solana told them the United States has agreed to allow the international community to take control of all coalition troops in Iraq -- including American (Read about it here). According to the Independent Solana said:

The United States accepts that to avoid humiliating failure in Iraq it needs to bring its forces quickly under international control and speed the handover of power.

What strikes me about this unexpected turn in president Bush's foreign policy is it was Solana who broke the news -- not the president. Is Solana now speaking for the United States too?

And this brings up an important question for us on here on FulfilledProphecy. Since Solana broke the news, just how much did he have to do with this agreement? Well, the Independent provides our answer:

As the EU's foreign policy representative, Mr. Solana has been playing a significant, behind-the-scenes role.

But that's just the first report. Here's comes the second: The Israeli Haaretz is reporting the Bush administration has informed Israel the U.S. is going to support the Russian resolution asking for a UN Security Council endorsement of the Road Map peace plan (Read about it here).

It's evident the Western leaders are wheeling and dealing. If you've been following my commentaries, you know I was thinking a deal may be in the works. If American wants EU help in Iraq, there would be a price to pay. For starters, America would have to support the EU's enforcment of the road map in Israel (See what Herb thinks 10-1-03). In other words, I don't think it is a coincidence these two reports are coming out at the same time. A deal has been made.

Like they say in those old detective stories, the plot thickens. So it looks like NATO may be taking command in both Iraq and Israel. In Iraq with American and coilition forces on the ground, in Israel it will be European forces. And here's the problem: I fear NATO may be already falling under the EU's and Solana's control. Here's why I say this:

When the French EU presidency and Solana moved command of the 10-nation Western European Union military alliance into the Council of Europe back in 2000, it's my opinion elements in the military alliance were attempting to take control of the EU. In fact, that's why I wrote my book. Now, I suspect these elements may be attempting the same with NATO. 

In other words, besides watching the rise of the first beast of Revelation -- the revived Roman Empire under 10 kings, we may now be watching the rise of the second beast -- the Babylon of Revelation (See what Herb thinks 8-9-03). And, this suggests the False Prophet may be standing in the wings.

And even more interesting, now it looks like these two major events of Bible prophecy could be coming together around an incredible new personality on the world stage -- the EU's first High Representative of Common Foreign and Security Policy, Javier Solana.

Stay tuned!
