[Ads-l] signature strike

[Jonathan Lighter]

News media report that the administration calls drone strike intended to
rub out known individuals "Kill strikes."

If they're just supposed to blow up generic terrorists, they're "signature
strikes."

Why "signature"?  Because it sounds cool? In that case, why not "artisan"?
