What is the liberal agenda on this. Every time I see a Dem talking on this they use ISIL. But the group itself uses ISIS.

WTF?

Is this the same kinda crap where Obama would say Usama Bin Laden instead of Osama, because it sounded too much like his own name?

The intel folks use "ISIL" and the MSM uses "ISIS". Kind of strange that Obama uses the former since he usually knows only what he sees on the evening news

"Usama" is closer to the actual pronunciation. Not sure how we ever got "Osama" in the first place.

So you started this thread to attack democrats and you failed. Out of all the subjects you could've picked.

They're both terms to avoid saying "Islamic State."

Anyway, to respond to your question, this would have been your top hit had you googled it:

If you have to ask what the agenda is, try and consider that maybe, just maybe, you're over thinking it.

You just know if someone is using words you don't understand - its gotta be a liberal agenda!


Here's my guess:

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant

He's probably just taking the first letters of the words that make up the name of the organization, and putting them together. This is called an "acronym". You should have learned about it in school. Would you like a review?
