...of the kind only possible with new fangled American guided missiles.
Craig Murray says here that, as seems to be common sense to me, the cruise missiles being launched several-per-target indicates less than total precision and reliability. The Tomahawk is generally guided by GPS, especially if no-one is to be risked to "paint" a target with a laser. Well, it turns out to be extremely easy to jam GPS. Not a hard sell to a dictator, put some of these gizmos in the ministry's reception block, Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt and so forth. The missile goes sailing by into the orphanage next door, dictator don't mind that, America don't mind that. Orphans don't get a say.
In fact the American government, in the form of the FCC, has been running special commando operations to stop people jamming GPS in America, a $30 device jamming a signal for miles around. Oh, linky.
