CIA IN LIBYA REPORT: “OBAMA SECRETLY AUTHORIZED COVERT OPERATIONS”

FACTS FROM THE VIDEO: Obama has sent CIA agents into Libya to see who the opposition is. A former CIA agent takes CNN hosts out of their comfort zone and talks about the real reasons why they are in Libya now and what the real outcome may be. He says the fact the effort is NATO lead may fool Americans but won't fool Libyan anti-west supporters. He also mentions that we are supporting the same people we are fighting against in other middle east countries like Iraq and Afghanistan

When asks what the U.S. should do in Libya Michael Scheuer says "what Mr. Paul Suggested, don't go in at all". Referring to Congressman Ron Paul's stand against the illegal wars in Libya.

Opinion:

Of all the things had told by Former CIA Counter terrorism Analyst, Michael Scheuer may be true or not, however, I firmly believe that his analysis was not lie-coated. Provided with the controversy (Obama: to see who the opposition is, since I am a Political Science student, I don’t have any skeptical thoughts about the issue. I assumed that the action of President Obama was just inevitable being a political icon bearing with two (2) significant truths that normally gives pressure.

First and foremost, truth that the principal person who is involved of the issue and the one who did the act was only one person who is the Chief Executive of USA vested with a lot of executive powers. Obviously, I really mean President Barrack Obama. Due to the fact that he is the President of USA, he is a public officer, then accountable to the people. American people respected and trusted his being. They look him as man with capacity to govern a dominant country with strong democratic tradition since he successfully won the heart of American people during the election despite the ups and downs in the political sphere. Needless to say, President Obama has high-regard at the present time. Thus, we cannot say that he is not capable of doing some art of deception, although it sounds betrayal to the public. Consequently, it creates conflict between the public interest and the interest of a public servant but because he currently holds big responsibility to his country, he perceived his action as good although it implicates his presidency just to maintain the public trust. Besides, not only American people have faith in him but also, we Filipinos have inspired by his dominant personality and definitely, even the other people from different corners of the world. In short, President Obama’s great mission is to stabilize the economic status of USA at the top.

Secondly, because of the truth that USA is a dominant nation that has been influencing other nations. In other words, America is the superstar in the political arena. If I am wronged of that, I am sure that one of the western countries holds that title. We cannot deny that USA has some influences throughout the world in the field of culture, tradition, language, educational system political system, trade and industry, etc. Here comes out the so-called “HEGEMONY” which refers to the dominant influence of a nation over other nations. Maybe some of us deny the reality but the fact that we are almost totally influenced by America and other western countries is very evident in some ways. The way we speak, we dress, we behave with other people, we eat, and we look at other people, things and happenings. Probably, all the way in our lifestyle is affected. In fact, I partly admire yet envy America. Wanna know why? It is because of America’s convincing power, its inhabitant’s brilliant minds and its strong determination to stay on the top. Anyway, it doesn’t mean that Philippines have nothing that America has. It is just that the degree or level of difference between Philippines and America is noticeable and bothersome. That’s why America oftentimes holds the title of being developed. Aside from that, America is an instant developed country because like what had happened during 09/11/01 attacks. The damages were remarkable with high costs that lead to America’s economic collapse but still America got immediately recovered. However, I’m sure and strong enough to believe that Philippines has some potentials to probably stay in the center on the political arena by looking and noticing its human resources, natural resources and culture and tradition. Therefore, Philippines called as “developing country” in the sense that it slowly and continuously growing in some aspects.

On the other hand, I envy America because of its invulnerable stand. By that, other countries’ efforts and accomplishments have never been considered and noticed. It seems that there is no such thing as “isolation” because good luck oftentimes surrounding them. That envious feeling leads me to feel another negative feeling, and that is being sad because I have this fear in mind that what is really happening today might not be defeated. Maybe that will lead us to conclude someday that Philippines is not anymore what Philippines before but it looks like America but still inferior and dependent to America and other foreign countries. Also, I have this thought in mind that the hardship of fighting and ceasing against the real scenario today actually exists and further be experienced by us.

However, I believe that the act of generalizing and totalizing is a fallacy because we cannot put the facts together in a vacuum because we need to consider first a lot of things that are significant before getting into a quality analysis and conclusion. In other words, there is no only one side of truth.Furthermore, I don’t lose hope and still hoping that one day and for the next number of times, Philippines will be called as “rich and developed country” not only from the perspective and notion of the westerners but throughout the world.

As a conclusion, let’s go back to the core issue. President Obama’s action was just a matter of political struggle-politics. As I’ve mentioned earlier the phrase “art of deception”. I think it’s good to use sometimes but not all the time because everything which is unjustifiable means is not applicable throughout space and time. It yields disasters to the system. By simply recalling the discussion about public administration, as a matter of political struggle, President Obama’s part of action might be justifiable.

Firstly, let’s perceive political struggle in a positive way. Looking positively, it is intend to be exercised for good. Therefore, President Obama wanted to know the opposition (democracy-lovers) to still extend his power and influence to the other nations. President Obama needs to maintain America’s position on the top by controlling other nations by being aware of what’s happening in the political arena for him to think for the best actions to be executed next without the knowledge of the enemies. So, he was struggling for power not for himself but also for the whole American race, and of course, for United States of America. Who will dare to think badly for his target end is for good of America yet people (Americans and enemies) might be fooled of the truth behind his means. I think President Obama’s action is not totally justifiable because he is in public service, he should be known of his limitations. In fact, I have been observed that politics is a fair stiff competition. It is a race between minds. It involves wisdom, intelligence, and cleverness. But sometimes, politics can no longer be called as “fair” because there are other officials exercising either direct or indirect bribery, or any other violations that are violative to his oath and virtue of office.

Secondly, President Obama emphasizes the other side of politics, which is the struggle for power “’over” the expense and defeat of other nations. In that way, there is selfishness instead of working hand-in-hand together for the universal good and progress. President Obama was just nourishing his power and America’s power alone. He was just extending the gap between the poor and the rich countries. He was just worsening the situation.

This is just my idea.
