A euphemised term of an "infamous" surprise attack like the one at Pearl Harbor is called when the winners are the ones who did the surprise attack and write the history books.
The U.S. did a surprise missile strike at the beginning of the Iraq War known as a "decapitation attack". Shouldn't this be a day that will live in infamy as well?

Get the Pre-emptive Strike mug.political slang used in place of other more sensitive words like kill, rape, annihilate, bomb-the-shit-out-of, wage-war or decimate because it pretends it is acting in defense from another country that actually poses no real threat.

Get the Peemptive Strike mug.Means an ATTACK, using information gleaned from a journey in a time machine that ascertained that THEY would have attacked US if we hadn't done it to THEM FIRST. A term of comfort, like gay and terrorist--shows the coiner (perpetrator of the Pstrike) in a GOOD light and the victim of the strike in a BAD light. An Americanism, like Neo-con for ISRAELI AGENT IN THE US GOVERNMENT.
Judge: You're charged with walking across the street and smacking this fellow in the teeth--how do you plead?
Defendant: He was looking at me funny, Judge. I suspected he was plotting to walk across to MY side of the street and hit ME. I had to hit him FIRST, to stop him. It was a preemptive strike. Not guilty.
Judge: I see. I find you obviously not guilty--case dismissed.
