This is just a stupid typo (I hope!) But still you would think the White House would have proof-readers. From the White House website:
The Senate, which unanimously confirmed the General for this mission, needs to support him by providing our troops the funding they need - not by mandating failure. As the President said, "Our men in women in uniform should not have to worry that politicians in Washington will deny them the funds and the flexibility they need to win."
Emphasis mine.
