I think the gubmint can use the experience it gained in...

Afghanistan
Honduras
Mexico
Panama
Colombia
Peru
Guatemala
Turkey
Iraq

...to employ drug lords to help their cause.

If that doesn't work they can draw on their experiences in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, New Orleans, Miami, D.C., San Francisco, or Detroit

Sadly, working with drugs, drug cartels, and other assorted drug "kingpins" is not an area where the Gubmint is exactly lacking in experience.

Fish on...
