How is it no one pronounces this the same way? Some people in government don't even pronounce it the same way in the same sentence!
How can we defeat an enemy when we can't even figure out how to pronounce their name. This pet pieve has just peaked while watching Meet the Press. I had to vent.

Its almost as confusing as Osama and Usama. I mean, no wonder it took us so long to find him!

Saying ISIL instead of ISIS is code from Obama and his minions that he doesn't recognize Israel.

Fox uses ISIS, MSNBC/CBS/NBC/CNN typically uses ISIL b/c Barry uses ISIL.

Probably why we've been astute enough to avoid war with the Kyrgyz Republic

Barry calls it ISIL right away because he knew his lack of leadership would allow it to become a Levant instead of just a state.

isol, Isol, or Isis just pick one. I am trying to follow conversations and it doesn't even sound like they are talking about the same people, especially when one person is using all three pronunciations in the same speech.
