if a bunker buster doesn't get deep enough on the first hit, we can go back and put another one in the hole created by the first one.

Yes, true. The newer bombs have guidance systems that put them in about a 2 foot circle. The early reports of the first hit, in a residential area, on Saddam's "home bunker," had two 2,000# bombs hit the "same spot" about 2 seconds apart. Probably dropped by the same plane. May have actually been a 5,000 and a 2,000, or may have been 3 or 4 bombs. But we can put them in the same hole, one after another.
