Will it be? Depends how you define it. If the US only provides naval support to the coalition and does not actively enforce the no-fly zone, is that continued involvement when this is something that our military routinely does?

Once the no fly zone is in place, it is very easy to keep as they are not going to rebuild their air force any time soon.
So let them take a year to liberate Libya if they want.
You may think it's ludicrous, but the US Air Force has been tendering for companies to supply it with persona management software, which will perform the following tasks:
a. Create “10 personas per user, replete with background, history, supporting details, and cyber presences that are technicall y, culturally and geographic ally consistent . … Personas must be able to appear to originate in nearly any part of the world and can interact through convention al online services and social media platforms. ”
b. Automatically provide its astroturfe rs with “randomly selected IP addresses through which they can access the internet.” [An IP address is the number which identifies someone's computer]. These are to be changed every day, “hiding the existence of the operation. ” The software should also mix up the astroturfe rs’ web traffic with “traffic from multitudes of users from outside the organizati on. This traffic blending provides excellent cover and powerful deniabilit y.”
c. Create “static IP addresses” for each persona, enabling different astroturfers “to look like the same person over time.” It should also allow “organizat ions that frequent same site/servi ce often to easily switch IP addresses to look like ordinary users as opposed to one organizati on.” Software like this has the potential to destroy the internet as a forum for constructi ve debate. It makes a mockery of online democracy. Comment threads on issues with major commercial implicatio ns are already being wrecked by what look like armies of organised trolls – as you can often see on the Guardian’s sites. The internet is a wonderful gift, but it’s also a bonanza for corporate lobbyists, viral marketers and government spin doctors, who can operate in cyberspace without regulation , accountabi lity or fear of detection. So let me repeat the question I’ve put in previous articles, and which has yet to be satisfacto rily answered: what should we do to fight these tactics?

We have committed military force to regime change in Libya.
We are spending our fortunes (money, bodies, equipment) on a cause.
It was to enforce a no-fly zone we were told, but that's not true; we are bombing targets having nothing to do with Khadafi's forces being able to fly.
We have had 'boots on the ground', as predicted, to retrieve troops left behind when their plane went down. The 'rescuers' straifed villagers who went to welcome the downed troops.

Treat the online support for what Obama has done with suspicion:
[t]here is a leaked email that has gotten surprisingly little attention around here. It's the one where AaronBarr discusses his intention to post at DailyKos - presumably something negative about Anonymous, the hacking group. But that's not the email I'm talking about here.
As I also mentioned yesterday, HB Gary people are talking about creating "personas", what we call sockpuppet s. This isn't new. PR firms have been using fake "people" to promote products and other things for a while now, both online and even in bars & coffee houses.
But for a defense contractor with ties to the federal government, Hunton & Williams, DOD, NSA, and the CIA - whose enemies are labor unions, progressiv e organizati ons, journalist s, and progressiv e bloggers, a persona apparently goes far beyond creating a mere sockpuppet .
According to an embedded MS Word document found in one of the HB Gary emails, it involves creating an army of sockpuppets, with sophistica ted "persona management " software that allows a small team of only a few people to appear to be many, while keeping the personas from accidental ly cross-cont aminating each other. Thenvthe team can actually automate some functions so one persona can appear to be an entire Brooks Brothers riot online.
Using the assigned social media accounts we can automate the posting of content that is relevant to the persona. In this case there are specific social media strategy website RSS feeds we can subscribe to and then repost content on twitter with the appropriate hashtags. In fact using hashtags and gaming some location based check-in services we can make it appear as if a persona was actually at a conference and introduce himself/he rself to key individual s as part of the exercise, as one example. There are a variety of social media tricks we can use to add a level of realness to all fictitious personas

So where's the move to impeach Clarence Thomas?
Anthony Weiner wants Thomas to recuse himself from cases where his wife's Iobbying and income call into question a conflict of interest. Nothing and nobody requires that of Thomas. The only solution is removing him from the bench. Why aren't senators doing it?
