One would imagine that those bunker busters would work in N Korea and any other communist country with nuclear capability.

Hmm, is it possible to get a shaped charge effect from a single nuke? A spatially separated set of nukes, if arranged properly and detonated synchronously, could do the trick, but would be unwieldy.

ALLAHU FUBAR! "What is best in life?" To crush the mullahs, to drive their collaborators before you, and to hear the lamentations of the ayatollahs!

Nuclear Bunker Busters add a new chapter to Shock and Awe.
Kim the short Jong, and other dictators aren't happy at all.

Thanks!
Since we have the stealth bombers and great crews to fly them, this could be a reality soon.
Of course the Rats in Congress, who hate GW and love the dictator despots of the world will fight this common sense approach.
