A few BLU-109/113’s right smack into his bunker at the side of Mt. Baekdu where the little rat went underground for 40 days during the Iraq War, would have done the trick. One kaboom to make the initial crater, and two or three more laser guided into that crater to implode the bunker completely and really rock the Chia Pet’s world. No more Kim Jong-il. Armchair analysis of course, but completely do-able in my opinion, at that time, without a massive commitment of US ground troops to assault the north.

Your ‘armchair analysis’ in my not-so-humble opinion is absolutely bang on. We could have decapitated the leadership in North Korea any time we wanted to.
What was lacking was the political will and the ‘nads to back up that will.
