“He’s angry,” Hunter said of the king. “They’re starting more sorties tomorrow than they’ve ever had. They’re starting tomorrow. And he said, ‘The only problem we’re going to have is running out of fuel and bullets.’”

If “Mom Jeans” in the WH won’t supply what Jordan needs, maybe Japan is mad enough to help Jordan with some funds. Evidently, also per interview on FOX with Hunter, King Abdullah is upset with all the ‘red tape’ in obtaining what he needs via the Mom Jeans administration.
I don't think he's referring to military aid. He's referring to U.S. assistance for infrastructure projects in Jordan. That's probably why the King of Jordan was visiting the U.S. in the first place.
When you beg for foreign aid, you have no business complaining about "red tape" in the process.
“If “Mom Jeans” in the WH won’t supply what Jordan needs, maybe Japan is mad enough to help Jordan with some funds.”
That is a great idea. Jordan has an excellent reputation within the Middle East, respected by both Western standards and Arab standards. Japan could not find a “cleaner”, less offensive regional partner to drop bombs on ISIS. Funding some shady rebel group could result in some embarrassment if they are shown to engage in theft and atrocities. Jordan can conduct operations professionally and credibly.
Perfectly situated and perfectly timed to meet Japan’s counterstrike needs.
Although I’d like to see the French and Japanese equip the Kurds with a mountain of heavy weapons, the Iraqi Government would object and demand to receive them instead.
Jordan is ready to charge.
