Did Obama Really Say That About ISIL?
July 10th, 2015
In the Middle East, Iraq is our friend and ISIS (or ISIL) is our enemy – right? After President Obama’s latest remark at a press conference about our foreign policy, we’re starting to wonder.
Here’s the story from Russia Today:
“President Obama’s reference to US training ‘ISIL forces’ has raised eyebrows, no less because of the White House’s odd edit in the transcript of the president’s speech on confronting Islamic State.
“After getting briefed on US efforts to fight the self-proclaimed Caliphate occupying large swaths of Syria and Iraq, Obama told reporters Monday at the Pentagon that the US was ramping up the training of local forces to complement airstrikes conducted by the US-led coalition.
“What he actually said, however, was ‘we’re speeding up training on ISIL forces, including volunteers from Sunni tribes in Anbar Province.’
“The official transcript released by the White House contains the word ‘Iraqi’ in brackets following the acronym ISIL, instead of something much more intuitive, such as prefacing the acronym with ‘anti-‘. The clumsy edit allowed one to read the statement as if the US Commander-in-Chief was not confessing to training jihadist militants all over the region, but only the ISIL forces based in Iraq.”
If any Republican or conservative had said something like this, they would have been crucified in the media. But since it’s the liberal Messiah, he always gets the free pass in the lamestream media.
The question we’re asking ourselves is: Was this just a simple mistake in a speech, or does this Freudian slip reveal something more sinister in our Middle Eastern foreign policy?

ISIL is the MSM representation of ISIS. ISIS was an Egyptian goddess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis
