The thing is, we are training ISIL forces. We have given weapons to groups that the Pentagon has designated as “moderate” — groups such as the Free Syrian Army, which has collaborated with the Islamic State. The Obama Administration’s avid and fruitless search for “moderates” to fight the Islamic State has put the U.S. in the position of training and arming a great many jihadis for the Islamic State. Obama’s statement was not a mere slip of the tongue. It was the most Freudian of all Freudian slips.
“President Obama says ‘We’re Training ISIL’: White House Website ‘Corrects’ His Remarks, by Paul Joseph Watson, D.C. Clothesline, July 8, 2015:
The White House.gov website has corrected an embarrassing mistake made by Barack Obama during his press briefing Monday about the Islamic State when the President said that U.S. forces were “training ISIL.”
During his speech, Obama uttered the line, “with the additional steps I ordered last month, we’re speeding up training of ISIL forces.”
The White House.gov transcript left in the original quote, but placed the word ‘Iraqi’ in brackets after the word ISIL, correcting Obama’s mistake.

Obviously not reading from a Teleprompter.
More Ham Ed says
He might be reading from an Islamoprompter.
Bamaguje says
Freudian slip revealing what Obama really wants?
After all he enabled emergence of ISIS by precipitously pulling out of Iraq.
He also enabled ISIS and Al-Qaeda take over Libya by bombing Gaddafi out of power.
Angemon says
At best, the clown in charge can’t tell the difference between his allies and his enemies. At worse, he had a Freudian slip. And the sloppy “correction” in the transcription doesn’t actually explain it.
More Ham Ed says
It was a Fraudian slip for sure.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Haa. I got that. Frauds must be careful too. I was once told by someone that he never lied because it was too much trouble to remember the lies and keep them all straight. But he was a mathematician and a physicist, not an actual lawyer like Barack Hussein.
James says
Freudian slip.

JamesonRocks says
Oops… Not a slip. It actually states the truth. This certainly clarifies the news report regarding the training of 60 “moderates.”
Rick says
60 were all the “moderates he could find.
Kepha says
Back in the Dubya Bush years, the Democrats screamed about how the US upset an “broke” things in the Islamic world; now they seem determined to do the same thing themselves.
Syria has been one bungle after another. It was a conflict in which we had no friends or assets; and the party from among whom we have tried to recruit allies is one that has chosen us as an enemy. The maladministration of the O seems unwilling to grasp that the Islamicists have chosen us as an enemy; and that the FSA is an Islamicist group cut from the same MB cloth as Qaisa and ISIL>
Ed says
I am always amazed of Barrak Hussein’s refusal to call ISIS by the very name they call themselves.
It seems to be a game of semantics.
Is Barrak Hussein bent on attacking fictitious ISIL while allowing ISIS proliferate?
Is Barrak Hussein condemning ISIL while tacitly ignore ISIS, thus showing support to ISIS?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
If you like your ISIL you can keep it. That is, unless the terms of the policy changes upon renewal, whereupon you are no longer grandfathered in. And policies change all the time. Islam is all about reform and renewal. They are reforming the world by renewing it. Which is why your posting got it all wrong. There is no ISIL or even an ISIS; there is only the New Caliphate. And, speaking of names, as he approached divinity, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was last week pushed into taking a new name, Caliph Ibrahim. This is not unprecedented, we saw after a decade and a half of global cooling that the scientists working for Al Gore and George Soros went ahead and rebranded from Global Warming to Climate Change. I’m not saying it’s all in a name, but I *am* saying that to name is to know, and to know is to control, and to incorrectly name is to lose control.
Weather is not climate; Islam is not religion; Moslems practice their non-religion in stormy weather that creates a climate of fear. Terror, actually.
Tom Washburn says
I may be wrong, but I believe he keeps using “ISIL” because he is validating their claims for the “levant”. It encompasses parts of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and a place called Israel.
mortimer says
The Sunni-Shi’ite split is what they’re fighting for. They’ll continue to murder one another until they lose their faith.
zulu says
Perhaps this wasn’t a mistake at all, and the American govt really is training ISIL. We know that Obama loves all things associated with Islam! 🙂
Funnily enough, there are lots of conspiracy nuts that really believe the US govt. is training and funding the Islamic State and now they have “proof”.
Voytek Gagalka says
Every lier, no matter how skillful, from time to time will tell you the naked truth. Freudian tongue slip? I don’t think so. But just maybe he did it here *deliberately*, to show that he can get away with anything, literary stating “you cannot do anything about it!” Look: he got already away with shameless falsification of his legal papers, so called “birth certificate.” He is smart, you see. He can read through his opponents’ reaction and sense their naked sign of powerlessness and despair. Oh, I can’t wait until this fraud will leave the office at last!
TheDane says
That’s what I have been saying for more than one year: Obama supports ISIS! He is a scumbag! He also says that the US can’t beat ISIS, so perhaps he has made an agreement with his moslem Brothers..?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
So we’re spending taxpayer money to pay the New Caliphate to train recruits? This is wrong, we must be true to our commitments. Boy, is Morsi ever gonna be pissed about Prez Barack Hussein cheating on him.
On the other hand, newly renamed Caliph Ibrahim seems to do everything right. He’s gathering power by the day.
Hansel says
Lol
maybe it wasnt a mistake .. he finally spoke the truth… so many lies has made even himself confused
abad says
And cannot wait for them to attack the USA in another 9-11……..thanks Obama.
I can with a clear conscience say that I did NOT vote for the Muslim in the White House in either election. I know better than that I am much smarter than that

Don’t you just love pastor Manning, God bless him….

Here is pastor Manning again…
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Wow. I hit this link and Pastor Manning rocks. I got goose bumps when Reverend Al Sharpton came on the screen, and swooned when Hillary appeared. When I came to first thing I did was look up Mack Daddy in the Urban Dictionary. Whoa, when I read the word “pimp” I knew that Pastor Manning knows what he’s talking about, for they ain’t nobody as pimp as the Barack Hussein. He could sell sand to an Arab, but the guy’s so pimped out he’s got *us* buying and the Arabs buying him.
I will be sad when he retires to his palatial pad in Malibu. Gonna miss him. Ain’t nobody like him, not even the thick ankled Hillary. Plus, we won’t have Michelle to kick around anymore. Here’s a self-made shovel faced gal from Princeton and Harvard who’s evolved into a diet guru but with an ass the size of the bed on a compact pickup truck.
It’s a wonderful world.

That would be the Islamic State of Illinois; you know, the one with a community organizer as Caliph.

I remember when they used to call ’em Commie Agitators, but like with everything the words have been homogenized into a better emollient for opinion programming.
Peter Hyatt says
I am a Statement Analyst.
The average person has approximately 25,000 words in his vocabulary. When freely speaking, he:
1. Goes into this dictionary to choose words to communicate;
2. Decides which words to leave out
3. Decides what is most important and what is not important
4. Decides where to place each word to make sense (syntax)
5. Decides which verb tenses to use
All of this takes place in less than a micro-second in the brain, which is why Statement Analysis has such a high rate of success: the speed of transmission.
This speed is why lying causes internal stress, even for sociopaths, because to lie, or fabricate reality, there is a ‘disruption’ in this speed of transmission in the brain, which, itself, is stressful. Thus, it is how liars are caught.
We also know that a direct fabrication of reality is very rare, with more than 90% of lies via withheld information.
Thus, we ‘trust’ the person to guide us, as they quickly choose their words.
Training “ISIL” is reliable, just as “we will never be at war with Islam” is also reliable from the president. As long as he is president, we will continue to arm, train, etc, Islam, by choosing whichever we wish to choose, and stage a ‘false war’ against any particular Islamic group we call “terrorists.” The bottom line is that Iran is going to get its nuclear bomb, and ISIS, or ISIL, or the Muslim Brotherhood, or whatever name it carries, is just the brand name for Islam, which is, itself, a militaristic coercive religion of conquest to which our president has verbally indicated his preference for.
Wellington says
Interesting post, Peter Hyatt. I have not been sure for a long time now whether Obama is “simply” a fool or, what is far worse, a traitor. Your comment puts another check in the latter category.
I would also yet again like to thank all the idiots out there who voted for this nothing for POTUS, especially those of you who, in extra idiotic mode, voted for this wretched man twice for the highest office in the land. What a collection of fools (or traitors) you are. You deserve no respect and will certainly never get any from me.
Bottom line: Obama is disgusting (for whatever reason). But disgusting people who have great power need help to have such power and fools aplenty abound who are only too willing to support such disgusting human beings. Sadly, there are untold millions of fools out there—–and America alone no less, never mind all the world. And “untold millions” is a lot. Perhaps too many for liberty to survive. Oh yeah, it’s gonna’ be a close call here.
duh_swami says
Peter…thanks…A while back there was a TV show about how to spot a liar…It was very interesting…Of course every good liar knows, the best way to lie is to tell the truth, except the most important parts…When they make the switch from the truth to fantasy is when they give themselves away with detectable ‘symptoms’, as you describe. I used to do institutional work and have talked to some of the biggest liars you can imagine…
Most of them are not very good at it…
Walter Sieruk says
Two things should be stated. First, the Pentagon knows or should know the the way to defeat the cruel, vicious and murderous fiends who compose the brutal jihad entity ISIS is the the use of many very strong powers of military might.” As Thomas Jefferson had so well declared “With every barbarous people…force is law.” Second, Obama is in denial about ISIS .In that he feels that ISIS is not Islamic. This goes down to the strong case of denial of Obama in his thinking that “Islam is peaceful” . So he refuses to acknowledge the violent and deadly essence that is part of this religion. The violence and kiling is ,indeed, taught in the”holy book” of Islam ,the Quran. As in for example, Sura 9:5 111. 47:4. Since Obama strongly feels that Islam is non-violent he likewise greatly feels that ISIS in not Islamic. In other words , Obama has his religious blinders on. So this brings out the question, just how can ISIS be defeated if Obama refuses to see the truth about the real nature this heinous Islamic jihad terror entity ?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says

Every time I see one of the military analysts on Fox RINO criticize Prez Barack Hussein for the half-assed program being run now against the New Caliphate, I think that what they propose can only work if we’re willing to destroy the towns in which the Caliphs live and operate. They ain’t gonna drive on out into the desert for a showdown, they’re quite comfy right in town, whether it be Raqqa or Mosul, and they know the U.S. ain’t gonna do what needs to be done to destroy them because doing that would incur heavy civilian casualties. Islam is of a cloth; if it were not the Unicorns would throw them out of town. So both the Caliphs and the Unicorns are in buildings along the same street, safe.
We need to come to Jesus before any real attempt can be made to stop the Global Jihad. Even with high tech targeted bombing, we still need intelligence about what buildings they are in, and Moslems, even the Unicorn ones, are the least reliable of agents. Their hearts are just in the wrong place; their hearts are with Islam.

“We’re speeding up training of ISIL forces”
Well, of course we are–who ever doubted for a nano second we were doing any less than that; as we have been doing for years–for the lions share of this war and then some?
As if such an assertion was news …
Green Infidel says
This coming after he spoke of his “Muslim faith” in a TV interview (twice!)… surely lightning doesn’t strike twice?
Or is Obama also known for making such slip-ups on other subject matters?

Matthieu Baudin says
A less stubborn, less intransigent national leader would quietly shelve a failed policy, refocus and put resources where they have some chance of success. There are three major players who need to thrash out a new approach in Syria; Russia, the U.S. and the Syrian Regime currently headed by Dr Assad who is not without blemish and like the rest of us is not indispensable for the defeat of ISIS and the recovery of national unity. If Kerry isn’t up to the diplomatic task, then he should be replaced urgently.
Londo says
The general behind him is impressive. The O’bummer just said they were arming ISIL and he gives away aboslutely nothing of what he might be thinking.
duh_swami says
On one hand he says you can’t defeat an ideology with guns, on the other hand he is arming and training those who will use guns against ISIS who believes in this ideology. Rasool Obama tries hard to separate the ideology from those who practice it.
Sounds good on paper, doesn’t work out so well in practice…

Obama slipped up and told the TRUTH. America is indeed training barbaric ISIS savages. Just like he slipped up and told the truth that he was a Muslim.
Obama is one of the biggest, and maybe IS the biggest Muslim leader in the world. What a coupe.
Unlike Egypt and hero Al Sisi and his military, no one is doing anything about it. NO ONE.
Obama Admits He Is A Muslim

Reminds me of the time he slipped in an interview with Stephanopolus and referred to his Muslim faith
