The U.S. State Department has a hard-hitting Twitter account that posts messages seeking to dissuade people from joining such terrorists groups as the Islamic State (ISIS) and al-Qaida.
A post — dated Tuesday, for instance — showed a composite of four dead ISIS fighters killed with text saying that the airstrikes in Syria that killed them were "a major step to getting the job done," the Metro website of the U.K. reports.
That tweet on the account — "Think Again Turn Away" — was later deleted, according to Metro.
The account is run by the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications (CSCC), a State Department unit created in 2011 seeks to counter the jihadist propaganda of ISIS and other terrorist groups, the Telegraph of London reports.
A State Department spokesman did not immediately respond to a Newsmax query.
"What we're doing is very different from anything else in US government public communications," said Alberto Fernandez, the CSCC's top official, told the Telegraph in May. He is a career diplomat who speaks fluent Arabic.

Reminds me of the last patriotic Dem Zell Miller asking John Kerry on how we will defend ourselves with all of Kerry's votes against weaponry, with spitwads?

I had to look twice to ensure this wasn’t satire...
Using Twitterists to take on Terrorists ..... sounds like a winner to me. [/sarc]
They should be encouraging these fools to JOIN ISIS so the vermin can all be gathered in one spot for easier disposal.
....”Iraqi officials block mobile messaging apps and social media platforms — but..... they have ‘failed to stop seven websites that are affiliated with or that support the Islamic State”......
According to this article it shows that Iraq...yet again...and other Muslim Nations are, and will always be, playing both sides to their advantage. You cannot stop the Islamic push for World-Wide dominance.....
Let me guess: they have tweeted a threat to unfriend ISL’s Facebook page if they don’t stop beheadings....soon.
The account is run by the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications (CSCC), a State Department unit created in 2011 seeks to counter the jihadist propaganda of ISIS and other terrorist groups...
Created in 2011 to counter ISIS?
Gov’t paid tweeters....another complete waste of our tax $$. This State Dept *unit* obviously is NOT working too well.
The jokes continue to write themselves, with this *administration*.
The concept of what they are doing is dead nutz on. ISIS and AQ are primarily media organizations. They live and die by the public perception in the Arab world. They’ll lose pretty much any fight with a modern state, but they can win the PR battle.
Digital Viet Cong...Moore’s Law in the hands of Anh. And like the VC, their greatest asset is the American Left. They would have no hope in hell if not for Liberals.
With that said, if our Administration wanted to win this fight, they would bring the resources to bare that they use against conservative Americans....and this fight would have been over a decade ago. Instead, we have to realize everything they do is actually aiding the enemy.
>>The jokes continue to write themselves, with this *administration*.<<
Couldn’t they tweet a picture of moochele looking sad with a #NoISIS sign in her hand? We know how devastatingly effective that was in the past...
So, how many millions of taxpayer dollars does this debacle cost?
Do these devastating tweet warriors have to work in a government facility, or can they just ‘telecommute’ from Mom’s Basement? Do they have to provide their own MREs of Cheetos and Red Bull, or do the taxpayers pay for them too?
Oooh. Twitter.

Death by a thousand hastags!
She’s up for the first Nobel Tweet Award
What else can we expect from the Chief Twit?
