Anything's possible. There's always a new counter-measure against any new measure. No one thought the WTC towers would fall either. Engineering the destruction of "impenetrable caves" can be a fitting response for the destruction of the US targets.

Amen! That would be poetic, to coldly and methodically apply our sniffers and big ears and other sensors to one cave complex after another like the Orkin Men.

Maybe Bush really did mean "SMOKE THEM OUT"!

To be pragmatic, they have the smarts to scatter to the four winds of heaven.

If Bin Laden can be reliably isolated to a reasonable degree in the hills, carpet bomb the area a few times, then look for secondaries and for an infrared signature to creep out from the gravel. Monitor for electrical/electronic emmissions, as well. Thereafter, more carpet bombing & then heavy on the Napalm.

If you want to get fancy, missile-blast a tunnel down to a central spot, fill it with the best you have & let it rip. Maybe a few of those.

For serious damage, salt-down the opium-poppy fields. The New York heroin street price will go up, but the Taliban would be through.

In reality, those opium fields are sacred turf to the West, so that will be the last thing to happen in our lifetime. We can't be starving those poor "Ethnic Albanians" of their livelihood of processing it into heroin. New York has suffered enough.
