(Reuters) - The Twitter feed for the U.S. military command that oversees operations in the Middle East was hacked on Monday by people claiming sympathy to the Islamic State militant group being targeted in American bombing raids.
U.S. officials said that the U.S. Central Command Twitter account and its YouTube account were suspended after being compromised. Two U.S. defense officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the hacking was an embarrassment but did not appear to be a security threat.
The White House said it was monitoring the extent of the hacking incident.

Why does the military have a Twitter feed?
Part of Obamas support to the Syrian Rebels are Twitter and Youtube accounts ?
Another “Reichstag Fire”, like the Sony nonsense.
in order to act as victim for some set up hacking crisis...

Obies Net Security Plans will of course be a large part of his upcoming...SOTU message.
Sony was act One......this...fiasco is Act Two..
the idea will now take prominence in the minds of twitter users everywhere...and open the door to ObamaSecurity!!

” Why does the military have a Twitter feed?”
It’s a public affairs function. Commands also have Facebook and flkr.
Obama did say he thought everyone should have access.
On Tuesday, January 20, President Obama will deliver his sixth State of the Union address ...

we can almost count on it!
Right before he is about to announce to control the Internet.
Make no mistake the same people that pushing for control of the Internet, Drudge, etc... Are the very same people doing it.
They create the problem, in order to get a reaction, and then come in as the solution.
This is how they do it. Don't fall for this B.S. anymore.
The very people who wanted to control the Internet...Now have their excuse..... This is even THEY created the crisis. That's how they get their power.
Don't be a chump and fall for this B.S.
the timing is uncanny isnt it.
The state of the Union is coming up in a little over a week...
Obies already given some sort of press conference In Iowa I think it was addressing the so called “security Issue”///
They create the problem, in order to get a reaction, and then come in as the solution.
thats the modern tyrants normal avenue of action
the Internet Reichstag FIre has Begun!
“The Internet Reichstag FIre has Begun!”
You nailed it! Outstanding comparison!
Well they certainly are aligned with IS. They helped get it started by releasing their leader from prison and funded them as rebels in Syria. And also pulled US troops too early to give them fertile ground for conquest. One can chalk it up to oligarchy stupidity or allegance to the house of saud, either way the end result is the same. Our military leaders over there just had their personal information released and their families are now targeted.
Oh but don't worry rats like John Boehner and Mitch McConnell will be going out of their way to make sure the congress signs on to this B.S.
the cyber caliphate sounds like it lives in its Mommies Basement....
the same pink kid who Hacked....together the pair of so called birth certificates?? Mohammed Johnson!
LOL! Exactly!
They always come up with these dumb comic book names.
That’s how you know its being done from within.
Also notice how they never strike on the Weekends, when they are at home watching football, and the timing is just remarkable. Right before the President is about to give a speech about controlling the Internet.
This is their B.S. excuse now.
