European Lisbon Treaty is Ratified - Javier Solana is pleased

Thanks!

Czech President Vaclav Klaus, the last courageous hold-outer on the Lisbon Treaty has reluctantly signed it. You can view it by clicking here and then watching the You-Tube video. Still being mentioned for Foreign Minister are England's David Miliband and Italy's former Prime Minister Massimo. Today, Javier Solana, who is in the USA, issued a statement welcoming a new head of his "EU Military Committee." It is hard for me to see Javier Solana giving up the massive powers of the massive machinery he has assembled. But, who knows? Personally, I suspect that Javier Solana will have another of what Herb Peters and I termed his "November presents." The timing appears to be just about right.
