Obama: “We’re speeding up training of ISIL forces”
Pamela Geller ^ | 7/8/2015 | Pamela Geller

Obama is right: we have armed and supplied the Islamic State. If Obama meant to say he was speeding up forces training to fight ISIS, that is wholly a lie. The United States has only trained approximately 60 Syrian rebel fighters as of July 3, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, saying the number is “much smaller” than the administration had hoped to train at this point. “I said the number 60, and I can look out at your faces and you have the same reaction I do, which is that that’s an awfully small number,” he said. The number of ISIS jihadis who have been armed and supplied by the US is far, far higher. And how many of those sixty were ISIS? Off topic, could you imagine if a Republican president made such a savage slip? Obama’s JV team has him stuttering and slipping.

Obama: “We’re speeding up training of ISIL forces”(thanks to Robert Spencer)

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.

Even now this evil regime is importing Muslim people from Syria and other failed Muslim countries by the Hundreds of Thousands.

Open border immigrants and Muslims divide the country along religious and racial lines. Anyone who disagrees with their agenda will be slandered, threatened or even murdered.

Freudian slip. The truth escaped.
It's just like the time he referred to his "Muslim faith."

The thing that gets me, is how out of it he is, that he couldn’t catch himself saying this.

There. Fixed it.

“Let’s not play games,” he said. “What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come.”

Many of us could see and hear what a colossal imbecile this phony foreign exchange student was during the first campaign. His gaffes and bloopers were so numerous it was difficult to keep up with him.

When this Mau Mau speaks his short choppy style of delivery (as his head bobs back and forth between teleprompter screens) demonstrates his utter ignorance.

He is, beyond doubt, the absolute worst president in history, but he shares this honor with the imbecilic little leftist, Jimmy Kahtah.

Obama's words and why he IS a Muslim:

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

“The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer”

“The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam”

“We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”

“Islam has always been part of America”

“These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”

“America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”

“I made clear that America is not – and never will be – at war with Islam.”

“Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism – it is an important part of promoting peace.”

“So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed”

“In ancient times and in our times, Muslim communities have been at the forefront of innovation and education.”

“Throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”

“Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality”

“The Holy Koran tells us, ‘O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.’”

“I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month.”

“We’ve seen those results in generations of Muslim immigrants – farmers and factory workers, helping to lay the railroads and build our cities, the Muslim innovators who helped build some of our highest skyscrapers and who helped unlock the secrets of our universe.”

“I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story.”

“We will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities”

“As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.”

“The Holy Koran tells us, ‘O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.’”

“That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”

There's absolutely no reason why we should have to train them. They are capable if they step to the plate.

Obama should read how the Valley Forge newbies were trained.and how much they loved this country.

I think so, too.

Hence, the glaring error of the dates, here. An obviously-fraudulent document:



Darn typo. Which is must different than dating something AFTER it is "postmarked" with a missing century, too.

So incredibly dumb.
Ignorance exceeded only by his arrogance.
Occasionally though his stupidity will allow the truth to escape his lips.
