“The rebels had been “conducting counter-ISIL operations in the area,” the Pentagon stated on June 18, using an alternative acronym for ISIS.”

My a$$!

The L in ISIL stands for Levant, which includes Israel. Obama has been trying to include Israel in this conflict as a scapegoat. But ISIS has always called itself ISIS with no L. This is just a Islamic conflict so far. Actually, the president’s attempt is puerile and shows his anti-Israeli bias.
