  • BREAKING: Dr. J. Solana is Heading to ME to "Stem" Israeli Violence

    Breaking - Cannot locate the full article just yet.

    IMO this could prove down the road to be very significant - i.e. the US is setting on the sidelines with Iran and has turned over leadership of an Iranian resolution to Dr. Solana...

    Likewise as Israel becomes engaged in what may prove to be a major ME war the US is setting on the sidelines - and up pops Dr Solana...

      30 minutes ago...

      British Prime Minister Tony Blair was meeting today the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Javier Solana to resolve this current crisis which was sparked by the Hezbollah incursion into Israeli territories and the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers.

          Hmm
          Can Israel back down now?
          Lebanon is calling for a cease fire, Solano will be there.
          Will the world's leaders accept it if Israel decided it can't as the rockets are flying into Israel more then ever?
          Even the US has taken on a position of hit but draw a line.

            I have always contended that the "false peace" will be one that is for the most part forced onto Israel - after all in this case they are indirectly fighting a growing war with Iran's proxies - and that my dear friends is majorly messing up Solana's big plans for a "settlement" of the Iran issues... we can't have that...

              Here's a link to Solana's bio--which makes interesting reading. His background is Catholic schooling and physics-oh and a stint as a socialist

              http://www.answers.com/topic/javier-solana:

              Javier Solana
              Javier Solana


              Francisco Javier Solana Madariaga (born July 14 1942 in Madrid, Spain) is the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the Secretary-General of both the Council of the European Union (EU) and the Western European Union (WEU). He was a physicist who became a political minister for 13 years before serving as Secretary General of NATO from 1995 to 1999. Dr. Solana was designated to become European Union Minister for Foreign Affairs in 2006, but is likely to continue in his present role while the future of the EU is decided.
              Background and career as physicist

              Solana comes from a well-known Spanish family and is the grandson of Spanish League of Nations disarmament chief, diplomat, writer and European integrationist Salvador de Madariaga and Scottish scholar and economic historian Constance Archibald de Madariaga. His father was a chemistry professor, and his mother the writer Nieves Mathews. His older brother Luis was imprisoned for his political activities opposing the dictatorship of Francisco Franco.
              He studied in the El Pilar College, an exclusive Catholic secondary school, before going to Complutense University (UCM). There as a student in 1963 he was sanctioned by the authorities for having organised an opposition forum at the so-called called Week of University Renovation. In 1964 he clandestinely joined the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), which had been illegal under Franco since the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939. In the same year he graduated and then spent a year furthering his studies at Spain's Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and in the United Kingdom. In 1965 he went to the United States of America, where he spent six years studying at various universities on a Fulbright Scholarship. He taught physics for a time at the University of Chicago and at La Jolla, California, and joined in the protests against the Vietnam War. He received his doctorate in physics with a dissertation on superfluidity called Elementary Excitations in Helium 2, in 1968 from the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences of the University of Virginia, where he taught and researched until 1971, extending his planned stay in the US by a year in order to continue his research as well as being President of the Association of foreign students

                First report on the web:

                EU's Solana to make snap Middle East trip
                07/13/06 03:25 pm (GMT)

                BRUSSELS (AFX) - European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana is preparing to make a snap visit to the Middle East to try to help ease an upsurge of violence there, his spokeswoman said today.

                "I follow with the utmost concern the situation in the Middle East," he said in a statement, referring to the ongoing Israeli air strikes in Lebanon in retaliation for the killing and capture of Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah.

                "He has been in contact with all sides and is getting ready to go," said spokeswoman Cristina Gallach, declining to forecast when he will leave or exactly where he will travel to.

                Solana was in London Thursday for talks with Prime Minister Tony Blair. He has also had talks with UN chief Kofi Annan, the EU's Finnish presidency, as well as Palestinian, Israeli and Lebanese officials, Gallach said.

                "I am in permanent contact with the different parties and with the secretary general of the United Nations," said Solana. "Following these contacts I envisage going to the region."

                Earlier the EU's executive arm voiced shock and dismay at the violence, and urged both sides to show restraint.

                  OH YES, I KNEW IT.......HERE IT IS....

                  "Multilateralism serves as basis for Italian foreign policy: Prodi"

                  http://www.angolapress-angop.ao/noticia-e.asp?ID=455494
                  ROME, 07/13 - Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi said on Wednesday that multilateralism is the basis for Italy`s foreign policy and that Italy values and supports a more active role of the United Nations in international affairs.
                  After a meeting with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in Rome, Prodi said that in recent years, his country has firmly stood at the front of fighting terrorism and and assisting the most underdeveloped countries in the world.

                  Italy, as the sixth biggest contributor country within the UN, will continue to support the UN efforts in defusing regional crisis, said Prodi, adding that Italy will never yield to terrorism.

                  Prodi`s meeting with Annan coincided with an ongoing dispute within Italy`s governing coalition over what Italy`s role in Afghanistan should be.

                    Solana is interesting........ but I have always wondered if there will be a type of John the Baptist so to speak paving the way for the AC to appear...and wonder if Solana may play that role...I just can't see him in the role of AC somehow

                      Also wanted to mention that Solana is a member of the Club of Rome. Here is a link that explains who and what they are about (at least for public consumption)

                        EU diplomats said it was unclear when Solana would leave, but it could be before Monday's meeting of European foreign ministers in Brussels.

                          Well if it is some relative "unknown" person then they had better hurry onto the world stage as events are moving fast...

                          Not saying he is or is not (and personally I don't believe any of us will know for certain prior to the rapture) -

                          ....however I contend that in a global crisis (just as what we are seeing now? - and will be even more so after the rapture occurs) the world will by human nature turn to a presumed proven figure to lead -

                          ....and so far with Iran, and now the new Israeli crisis, that person is Solana - i.e. as given a stamp of approval (and measure of authority) by the UN, EU nations, the UK and even the US.... there is no way to deny that Solana is the key focal point that is being asked by all to step in and come up with a solution.
