An article on Wednesday about the eruption of tensions between Iraq and the United States over how to battle the Islamic State misspelled the surname of an aide to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and mistranslated comments he made about American forces’ readiness to move against the militants in Mosul. The aide is Ali al-Alaaq, not Alaa, and he said, “If the Americans continue procrastinating about the time it will take to liberate the country, Iraq will liberate Mosul and Anbar without them.” He did not say that the Americans, in fact, continue to procrastinate."
