Solana, Solana, Solana

Perhaps I don't need to write a commentary. The title says it all, Solana, Solana, Solana.

Here are three news reports about the EU's High Representative, Javier Solana. And, we students of Bible prophecy should pay attention. The first report is about what Solana had to say about the Israeli government continuing to build a security barrier in the West Bank. Solana says:

I do not think we can accept a wall that creates decisions on the ground about land that has not been divided (Read about it here).

Of course the reason we students of prophecy should pay attention to Solana's remarks is because they clearly reveal his plans for dividing God's land.

The second report tells us Solana has met again with the EU leaders in Rome just before the Inter-governmental Conference. At this closed-door meeting it is reported Solana discussed EU/US relations in the aftermath of the Iraqi war (Read about it here). But if you've been following the news, you know what this means. It means they were once again discussing Solana's "wider Middle East" policy. A primary part of this policy links EU support in Iraq with the EU also getting what it wants in the Mediterranean. 

This brings us to the third report about the Inter-governmental Conference. It appears the very first matter on the agenda will be the issue of the new EU Foreign Minister. If order indicates anything about importance, it does make one wonder (Read about it here).

Here's my point: Most don't realize, as far as foreign policy is concerned, this new Foreign Minister may end up more powerful than the new Council President. The reason this could happen is because there is a battle raging over the new Council Presidency. The smaller states mostly want to leave it like it is, the larger states want to change it. The result could be a compromise leading to a weak EU Presidency and a strong EU Foreign Minister.

And the way it looks now, guess who that Foreign Minister might be?

Solana, Solana, Solana.
