in case you missed it(it'd be easy to)

This is just one small piece of the larger puzzle... all the required pieces are there so far. We have the ten-nation alliance(est. 1948), an eleventh king after, revived Roman empire, seven-year covenant with many confirmed, and an anti-christian agenda to boot(the stated goal of "battling fundamentalism"). Israel set for review on animal rights laws compliance in the middle of this "week", or seven years, and on, and on...

General Report 1998 - Chapter V: Role of the Union in the world
Section 1: Common foreign and security policy (3/24)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

666. In December the Vienna European Council expressed the opinion that the Secretary-General of the Council and High Representative for the CFSP should be appointed as soon as possible and be a personality with a strong political profile. It invited the Council to prepare common strategies on Russia, Ukraine, the Mediterranean region and the western Balkans, on the understanding that the first would be on Russia. Welcoming the new impetus given to the debate on a common European policy on security and defence, the European Council also noted that the CFSP should be backed by credible operational capabilities (1).
