"They're crazy out there, and they're rapidly developing a method of blowing up a major U.S. city, and people just can't believe that's happening," he said.
Inhofe also criticized President Barack Obama for his failure to find a strategy to deal with the ISIS crisis.
"He's going to have to come up with something that we're going to do because they're holding another hostage in place and the problem is, the president says all these things and he never does them," the senator added.
