The Twitter account for U.S. Central Command was apparently hacked on Monday, with pro-ISIS messages plastering the account's profile.

The first message was posted at 12:29 p.m. ET, with the words "AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING, WATCH YOUR BACK. ISIS." and the hashtag "#CyberCaliphate."

The profile's image was replaced with a photo that includes the text "i love you isis." Just before 1 p.m. ET profile and banner images were reverted to their default

Is it just me? Why would Central Command have a twitter feed? What in the hell is twitter anyway?

Exactly. With this Muslim crew in the Casablanca, they probably were provided to ISIS directly.

Just being an observer to world events that are way out of my control...

I have the mental image of looking at a toilet bowl with the world in it, that was just flushed and I see it spinning faster and faster as it sinks deeper into the drain pipe leading to the septic tank where everything is covered in sh*t...

Why does CentCom need a twitter account?

..and right as word comes out that Eric Holder might indict General Petraeus. My guess is that a shadowy group WITHIN our gov't has hacked CENTCOM and published General's addresses. Team Barry's hatred for the military is well known. Publishing names and addresses of Generals makes them vulnerable to terrorist threats. This is all good in Barry's mind. The 'War on Terror' has been reversed. U.S. surrender in Iraq, trading 5 Taliban commanders for a DESERTER, IGNORING the U.S. Marine imprisoned in Mexico, going after General Petraeus, NOT appearing at the Paris march, etc.. It's all quite clear now, huh:

Obama will address this security issue with an executive order placing new restraints on the rights of US Citizens.
