The hard part is getting the fresh bananas to Damascus.

What exactly is the difference between ISIS (Islamic State in Syria) and ISIL (Islamic State in Libya)?

Yeah, some smart aleck is going to tell me “which country is it in?”

What exactly is the ideological difference, if any?

The L stands for “levant,” which includes Israel. When Obama calls them ISIL rather than ISIS, he is betraying his disdain for Israel.
