[IHSS-ll] Meet [ICE-ll]

       Susan Rice our National Security Advisor says [IHSS-ll]; President Obama pronounces it [ICE-ll]; neither of them says the more widely used [ICE-iss].

       If that elite duo doesn't agree on pronunciation, one wonders if they speak of it to one another much, and whether policy directions to fight it are much agreed upon either.

       Obama said in a very early speech that we would "degrade and destroy" them.  I guess that means among other things that we'd have to [ICE-ll-ate] them.  I hope these assorted pronunciations and namings don't mean that our own leaders are just too [ICE-ll-ated] from each other!
