Nuke 'Em From On High

The most likely candidate is a tactical micro-nuke called the B61-11, an earth-penetrating nuclear device known as the "bunker buster."

The B61-11 was designed to destroy underground military facilities such as command bunkers, ballistic missile silos and facilities for producing and storing weapons.

However, it could be used against the warren of tunnels and caves carved under the Afghan mountains that are often cited as a potential refuge for the U.S. government's prime suspect, Osama bin Laden.

I have three sons, two at the age to serve. My wife is flipping, but that's the way it is. If they have to go, then they go.

I was their age during the VietNam era, so for me there is nothing new under the sun. I would rather they did not, but it won't surprise me if they end up in this somehow.
