(1) A bunch of fat slobs who spend most of their time extorting business owners and smuggling stuff using bribery and threats of arson should do great. They spend their time intimidating people who want to live and conduct business. That "skill set" translates really well to people who only want to destroy and who don't care about dying.
(2) It would also be great in rei forcing the rule of law and projecting strength to the world. It's not as if collaborating with organized crime is a classic mark of a failed state or anything.
(3) The mob are really men of principle, who would never kill their closest friends and family members to make a buck or anything. There's no way ISIS could ever bribe them into cooperation.
I can't believe anyone could be so stupid as to imagine this could ever be a good idea.
I agree idiotic to use the Mafia.....the only use for this group is to squeeze them for info when we arrest them. There would be a reason for them knowing a terrorist and that is they provided some service to them or used the same document forger. or some other service that was being used by the terrorist.
You have to assume Obama wants to destroy ISIS. I don’t think Obama cares one bit about ISIS other than they risk his great legacy and distract him from fund raising and hobnobbing with celebrities.
