Everyone else and there mother calls them ISIS. Even the Pope, Castro, Putin, and Ron Burgundy call them ISIS

It doesn't really what name of theirs he uses because in the end he refuses to acknowledge they're radical Islamists.

The US military has continued with that acronym. It's a purposeful misnomer. Much like many of the Arab regimes or EU countries calling them Deash.

Why? Because if Obama called them ISIS, he'd be admitting defeat for Syria since it's part of the ISIS acronym. If he keeps calling them ISIL, he'll be doing as instructed by his Islamic Brotherhood advisers.

ISIS refers to Syria
since they have spread beyond Syria and Iraq the correct term is ISIL.

Got it?

The proper term now, as used by AP, NYT and everyone else who pays attention to such things, is "IS" or Islamic State since that is as it has declared itself to be named.

The ISIL and ISIS distinctions are out of date but still used by political nitwits like Obama, Kerry and Power, et. al., since (1) after his "red line" nonsense he didn't want any mention of association with Syria and (2) they live in a fantasy high school mock UN world where they believe that calling a group by a different name changes the reality.

“No, I know that,” Trump said. “But the president of the United States always says ‘ISIL.’ Everyone else says ‘ISIS.’ And I actually think he does it to bother people.”

Consider yourself bothered.

By using ISIL which is the Levant, Obama is raising the issue of Israel's legitimacy and is meant to be a pointed insult.
