Would the American people prefer to using La Cosa Nostra, the American Mafia, Street and Biker Gangs against ISIS instead US ground forces?

Past months ISIS committed the worst and outrageous acts against humanity ranging from beheading American Journalist Foley to burning of the Jordanian fighter pilot to brutal mass murders of LGBTs to Coptic Christians even burning of children along with sick acts. America and the world are outraged and demand action. But American people are against committing US ground forces to stop ISIS. For the American people who oppose the use of US Ground forces would you prefer to use the La Cosa Nostra, the American Mafia, Street Gangs, Biker Gangs along emptying US Prisons to fight ISIS? A Good ideal? or Very Bad Ideal.

I can understand why you'd say that, but it does not add up to much well. These are all career, criminals. They honor nothing. They respect nothing. Actually, God forbid, it would be strikingly like trading one terrorist group for another. The mafia, in all it's branches, different nations and creeds, has no honor. None. They will exploit anything they see. What you'd have in the Middle East would only be more drug trafficking, slavery, sex trafficking and worst of all - who's to stop them from joining ISIS if they threw enough money their way.

The mafia is no good. The biker gangs are no good as they are often employed or affiliated with the mafia.

President Obama did the right thing. ISIS can not take on the military power of the whole world (under God). We're fine where we be.

La Cosa Nostra, the American Mafia, Street Gangs, Biker Gangs emptying US Prisons to fight ISIS? They would only go if there was something in it for themselves. Therefore you'd have to give them tanks, artillery, RPG's, and other expensive weapons in abundance so they would not only have enough to use but also to sell on the international arms market. We already tried that with the crooks in Iraq and Egypt.

l could write a book on my answer to this, but, mainly, as a 3rd generation Australian veteran, l was drafted for Nam, l have even joked about this very topic. The best thing for this Planet , is that the USA packs up & goes home. You should make Ron Paul your president. From 9/11 onwards, the world has been destroyed, countries in ruins, and as a veteran it sickens me to see the injuries to soldiers and children. For the death of 3000 people , what is the cost now. The joke among veterans is that you fight your wars like a Gridiron game, l was even embarrassed to see over 40 countries parading around about pulling out of Afghanistan, including Aust. You could not beat a bunch of blokes on camels & motorbikes. So.. from the start after 9/11, no rules of contact, no prisoners, one squadron of SAS with it own support units, would have cleaned up Afghanistan in 3 months. In Iraq & Syria, the same, except that would be over in a month. So, paying gangs to go there is nearly ok, it ain't so dumb. Whatever happens, it is too big an industry, making war, but everyone should go home, especially USA, & look after your own first, charity starts at home.

My first thought was, Uhh... isn't Anonymous already attacking ISIS? That said, it's fighting fire with fire, eventually you have a conflagration and still have to put it out. Remember how sudden and surprising it was when Obama found Osama? I'd say this process is already on its way, we just don't know about it because we're not supposed to. ISIS will probably die a sudden death just like all enemies of the USA, eventually. Give it time, the difficult we do immediately, the impossible may take a short time. Or something like that.
