U.S. State Department Is Going to Tweet ISIS to Death

The never ending battle against ISIS is taking a new turn.

Looks like the State Department is waging a Twitter War against ISIS's 90000 tweets per day.

They say its propaganda and they will fight fire with fire to the death !!

If this doesn't start WW3, I don't know what will.


U.S. State Department Is Going to Tweet ISIS to Death

The NY Times posted a story on the 16th saying that the administration is going into countermessaging to defeat ISIS propaganda. The Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications is going to use more than 350 State Department Twitter accounts, combining embassies, consulates, media hubs, bureaus and individuals, as well as similar accounts operated by the Pentagon, the Homeland Security Department and foreign allies to launch a Twitter attack on ISIS!

We’re going to tweet them to death!

ISIS sends 90,000 tweets a day so the government is facing an awesome challenge.

The administration is going to work out details of the campaign during the Obama summit on terrorism this week.

It's the War of the Words !!

Call me old fashioned but I think actually bombing them or shooting them might work out better.....The hearts and minds they are fighting for have already decided and this is a mute point.

God almighty... No wonder we are the current laughing stock.

I bet those tweets are scaring the shnikes out of those ISIS terrorists. I'm surprised they can even function under that level of fear.

Yah, this is pretty lame. I agree with the poster above that traditional weapons would be a lot more effective. I've never heard of anyone dying from an over exposure of tweets.

If this doesn't work I wonder what they have planned next, maybe call them "Poopie Pants", pull their hair and run away???

what have they been putting in their water, something is seriously wrong

So their launching the equivalent of an Online Pro-Bullying Campaign? What is this, Junior High?
What are they planning on saying?
" Hey ISIS! nice shoes!"

Pro and con.... you can't physically harm with words... but you're not stopping ISIS either..

Maybe they can REALLY hit 'em hard and 'de-friend' ISIS on Facebook.

Oh god, I manage to stay out of political threads and try to remain neutral and judge case by case, but this is just getting to be surreal.

I'm beginning to think that Ivy League intellectuals should stay out of government altogether. The real world is not the fantasy land a university campus is.

Jobs for Jihadists and now this What in the heck are these folks up to this time? Elections are over so lets just start playing with our food, throw some at a wall and see what sticks.

Tweet wars.....are hell.



ETA:.....I forgot to tell of the PTSD I experience daily from a tweet war.
I narrowly escaped with my life.....it was horrible.

...perhaps another time. Discussing it brings it back...I cannot handle it at this time.

i bet isis is scared

I did read somewhere, forget where exactly, that the pen is mightier than the sword. Just saying.

The *Irony* would be to learn that ISIS is using contractors to produce those 90,000 tweets a day.



The Federal Election Commission would have a cow and a half.

That must be why Samurai always carried pens with them all the time.

News said Mr. Obama plans to get to the root of ISIS's problems: lack of jobs.

I kid you not!

Or why Sun Tzu is considered to be the greatest military strategist amongst those who strategise...militarily. I think the word touchè is on your mind right now.

Just to be clear, I'm not attributing the statement to Sun Tzu, but he did write...a bit

Well they're right.

ISIS will need an army of workers to get out 1,000,000 tweets a day.

Imma have to start beheading peoples if Obama doesn't give me a job soon.

I mean, if that is the case, it's been a while since I had a steady "job".....

.....they'll be.... "understanding"...of my situation, and everything < or something...

battle against ISIS------ just give them jobs?

Please tell me that someone gave her '___'? They are cutting Christian's heads off, killing gays, killing children, shooting women in the head for wearing red coats, because they don't have jobs? That's right Obama! give them jobs! It has nothing to do with their twisted version of Wahhabism, or a subset of Islam.
