[the lone obstacle to the sought-after gold is a solitary Tiger tank guarding the bank]
Crapgame: Try making a DEAL!
Big Joe: What kind of DEAL?
Crapgame: A DEAL, deal! Maybe he's a Republican. You know, "Business is business."

#4 Article: A witness wrote down the license-plate number of the car Blum was driving, which is registered to Blum and his father.

#6 Whadya expect with lowered recruitment standards and PC leadership? Gangs, thugs and even skinheads have enlisted. I was in Baghdad and saw American gang graffiti on some of the buildings. Not that these three were gang members prior to the military, but I wouldn't be surprised. Wake up, military. There's a cancer in your midst.

#7 Rangers should be thrice screened: basic, Airborne School, and Ranger Indoctrination Program. From the names, I would guess three surburban thrill seekers. Not too many gang bangers and punks make it into the Ranger Battalions.

#8 They could be assigned to the Regiment, but still not be Rangers. I've got my doubts about this story.
