Fine. After we bomb the living hell out of them for 20 days, and make the "Highway of Death" look like a Girl Scout Campfire, we send in the special forces, who are now "well trained and hardened from Afghanistan" (note sarasm - except they probably are), and they'll root out the bunkers. No mountains to run and hide in, maggots.

Guided Bomb Unit-28 (GBU-28)
BLU-113 Penetrator


The Guided Bomb Unit-28 (GBU-28) is a special weapon developed for penetrating hardened Iraqi command centers located deep underground. The GBU-28 is a 5,000-pound laser-guided conventional munition that uses a 4,400-pound penetrating warhead. The bombs are modified Army artillery tubes, weigh 4,637 pounds, and contain 630 pounds of high explosives. They are fitted with GBU-27 LGB kits, 14.5 inches in diameter and almost 19 feet long. The operator illuminates a target with a laser designator and then the munition guides to a spot of laser energy reflected from the target.

I'd bet that saturation nuclear bombing would get all of them.
