Offensive Zeroes

Brought to you by the online MSNBC news service, in a war-related headline reading "Offensive zeroes in on Tora Bora." I misread it the first time through, precaffeine, and thought "offensive zeroes" were something like offensive linemen. I wondered what their strategic function was and why the military had chosen to let them in on the Tora Bora thing. A second reading proved more enlightening, but the first one was more interesting.
