US has plans for surgical strikes on Iran, sez Ehud Barak
In this lifetime, or the next?
The United States are now considering the use of surgical strikes, rather than heavy-handed attacks, to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, Israel's outgoing defence minister, Ehud Barak, said Thursday at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, DPA reported.

Barack said the US military plans had been changed under the administration of President Barack Obama to "extremely fine noodles scalpels."

"I used to scorn my American friends, I used to tell them: When we talk about surgical operations, we think of scalpels - you think of a chisel with a 10-pound hammer," he said at the meeting of government and business leaders in the Swiss town.
