Bobert - "The possibility of a surgercal strike ain't exactly like bombing Pakistan..."
A 'surgical strike' is just a euphemism the military came up with to make people think they can drop a bomb on the bad guy's head and no-one else gets hurt - even the plaster on the house next door is left intact etc etc., Anyone on the receiving end of a 'surgical strike' - like those dead at Qana - would tell you it's just another word for being bombed - if they could. Of course, they can't because they are dead.
