EU 'President' Expected To Be Announced Thursday 11-19-09

Favourite to be EU president backs European national anthem

Herman Van Rompuy, 62, the Prime Minister of Belgium for 11 months, is expected to be installed as President of the European Council at a dinner in Brussels on Thursday of the 27 EU leaders.

Mr Van Rompuy, barely known outside Belgium, is the favoured candidate of Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, and Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor.

They want a figure who will not overshadow them on the world stage who will act a chairman rather than a Presidential figure with the stature of a world leader which was why Tony Blair’s chances faded.

Pieter Van Clippe, of Open Europe think tank, said: “Van Rompuy is your typical EU federalist – he isn’t going to step on anyone’s toes or try to dominate the world like Tony Blair or President Sarkozy might have – but he can be relied upon to quietly make sure that the EU gets more and more powers, with less and less say for voters.”

re: figure will not overshadow

Looks like Blair's out, and a no-name is in. Someone who can make important decisions like calling for a national anthem. They do not want a "presidential figure with the stature of a world leader". Translated, that means that the Zionists do not want anybody who might steal some of the limelight from their boy...umm...what his name...umm...the guy who is supposed to be from Hawaii...umm...yeah him.

Italy is to push for the creation of a European Army after the "new Europe" takes shape at this week's crucial EU summit following the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty.

Mr Frattini said that at present "every country duplicates its forces, each of us puts armoured cars, men, tanks, planes, into Afghanistan. If there were a European army, Italy could send planes, France could send tanks, Britain could send armoured cars, and in this way we would optimise the use of our resources. Perhaps we won't get there immediately, but that is the idea of a European army".
