Predator is probably too short legged for the job of finding "the goods", and depending on where they are, also for taking them out. However Global Hawk could to the looking, and the F-117, or B-2s the taking out. We have these marvelous "bunker buster" hard target penetrating laser, or GPS, guided bombs. (Not sure if B-2 can guide the LGBs).

Just curious. Does the airforce actaully have a stock pile of either or MOAB I or MOAB II's at this point? And not having specs on just how deep this type of bomb could penetrate lets say 50 feet plus of a dense hard rock strata, then perhaps another 20 feet or more of re-inforced concrete, I cannot help but wonder if we really have anything that might be suitable to penetrate deep underground facilities that are designed to whistand conventional or nuclear bunker busters. Obviously fission or fusion devices don't dig deep holes into extremly thick hard rock layers. At least that is my understanding.
