Original Note:
Obama misspoke during the press conference, saying ISIL instead of Iraq, however the transcript later corrects him: 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%C2%A0 Here is the full press conference: https://www.c-span.org/video/?326940-3/president-obama-statement-us-strategy-isis (timestamp @ 5:35 for the mistake)
