At this point I wouldn’t be surprised to see him launch a strike on Amman Jordan.

nah...a real cowboy would have already taken actionWho in their right mind would announce ahead of time what they might do to ISIS? This is the group that butchered its way through a huge portion of Iraq before the DC crowd even knew they existed.
