The White House.gov website has corrected an embarrassing mistake made by Barack Obama during his press briefing yesterday about the Islamic State when the President said that U.S. forces were "training ISIL."

During his speech, Obama uttered the line, "with the additional steps I ordered last month, we're speeding up training of ISIL forces."

The White House.gov transcript left in the original quote, but placed the word 'Iraqi' in brackets after the word ISIL, correcting Obama's mistake.
