Obama's comment was a slip of the tongue, as evidenced by his following statement (i.e., that Sunni volunteers were being trained as "a new force against ISIL"). A correction was issued by the WH (which placed the word "Iraqi" in brackets where it should have been used). https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2015/07/06/remarks-president-progress-fight-against-isil#:~:text=so%2C%20with%20the%20additional%20steps%20i%20ordered%20last%20month%2C%20we%E2%80%99re%20speeding%20up%20training%20of%20isil%20%5Biraqi%5D%20forces%2C%20including%20volunteers%20from%20sunni%20tribes%20in%20anbar%20province.%20 https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/obama-isil-training/
