After the meeting with congressional leaders Tuesday, Boehner was supportive of some of what he heard. The speaker’s office issued a statement saying, “The Speaker stated he would support the President if he chose to deploy the military to help train and play an advisory role for the Iraqi Security Forces and assist with lethal targeting of ISIL leadership.”

While the speaker's office may have presented a case for his support for targeting an extremist organization that has killed Americans, this is not the case! Follow me below the fold to see just how evil Boehner is.
First, if you choose to refer to this group as ISIL, you have basically rewritten the map of the Middle East and fallen into the trap of not recognizing the existence of Israel and also Lebanon. If you use ISIL you are then validating the Islamic totalitarian and jihadist claim that the modern day Jewish State of Israel is an occupation state and does not exist in the eyes of Muslims.

When Barack Obama Boehner refers over and over to the Islamic State as ISIL, he is sending a message to Muslims all over the Middle East that he personally does not recognize Israel as a sovereign nation, but as territory belonging to the Islamic State.
The end begins
So Boehner is in trouble with the Christian Fundamentalists. No big deal. He has 'The Establishment' in Washington behind him, right?
No sirree, Boehner was lambasted this Sunday for his description of ISIL by Chuck Todd!
"Obviously, we refer to it at NBC News as ISIS," said Todd about the confusion surrounding the various names. "The Obama administration House leadership, the president Speaker says the word ISIL. The last 'S' stands for Syria. The last 'L,' they don't want to have stand for Syria."
Meanwhile, on "Fox & Friends," Donald Trump mysteriously pointed out that "there's a reason" why the president Speaker refers to the terror group as ISIL, although he declined to reveal what it is.
