The sixth fleet is now cruising the biscayne bay to guarantee a free vote and the meeting that took place a couple of weeks ago had been terrible. A delegation from Congress was to meet french officials in the embassy and I still wonder why it truned sour so fast. As the french delegation entered the room Sen McCain stood up and invited them to sit down but they refused stating they deep disagreement over any vote restricted to the Euskadi's nation. It shocked the Senator as everyone else in the room (so pathetic and swelling hatred towards the Euskaldi culture, language and rights to their Land)and to be honest I expected their refusal to lead to some tough remarks from the head of the delegation but instead Sen McCain smiled and he added "Well, you guys may be right, you'd better stand to listen to what we have to tell you" After a brief recall of the circumstances, the Senator stood up again, pointing his finger and raising his voice ".... You want to play hard ball, that is fine with me little jerks, hundreds of mavricks are locked on your asses, do something stupid, cross Iparralde north border for any reasons with your security forces before the vote takes place and you will be turned into torch, do you get me,..." The French couldn't stand it any more and tried to leave, head of security was watching my hand and a little move sent two guards to the door's room. The Head of the French delegation is now red hot turning to McCain he asked "Are we hostage here?". Sen McCain sat down and relaxing he couldn't help "Come on, we invited you, this conversation is a little direct but good friends can tell each other the truth, can't they? You can leave this meeting anytime you like". The security guards open the doors and I had guessed the meeting was over leaving me to find a car to return to Hendaye.
