This isn't going to turn out to be like those dreaded caves of Tora Bora, is it? I remember the papers had these elaborate diagrams that made them out to be like Dr. No's secret headquarters, with secret entrances, generators, hospital wards and vast arsenals, when they were actually a little dugout in the rock with some old RPG rounds in the back.

Solution to Saddam's bunkers:

Determine all entrances and exits.

Seal them with several yards of concrete.

Forget about them.

(Solution borrowed from ending of Joan Collins movie LAND OF THE PHARAOHS)

Bunkers, Shmunkers! That boy is burning in Hell right about now! And he's surrounded by seventy, dark-eyed harpies, stickin' forks in him to see if he's done!

[Servant of the Nine]

What is certain is that many underground bunkers and tunnels do exist, and they could be a subterranean nightmare for American and British forces

Not necessarily.
Shooting a few seismic lines across the city once it is taken will map every last underground crevice.
Then you set up drilling rigs over the most easily reached parts and pump in concrete till no more will fit.
Take a week max to fill the whole system solid.

Sounds like they really exist!

Well I for one think Sadamm made a critical mistake in thinking that GWB wouldn't stick to the "48 hours to get out of Dodge". I think that Sadaam & Aziz and a number of the others were not deep within the bunker system. I think they were in a secure location expecting to drag it out somemore with further UN foot dragging & anticipating an advanced warning when GWB o.k.ed the strike. I for one thing GWB got him with the first shot, we won't know for months but it will be one hell of a celebration when the truth comes out.

This ought to keep the History Channel busy for years.

Well the answer is simple dig down to the bunker set up a drill like the one used to get to the trapped coal miners. Drill a hole in the top of it and then you can either drop explosives down the hole, or just throw a water hose in the hole and start up the pumps.

"What is certain is that many underground bunkers and tunnels do exist,..."

I live where it is somewhat sandy soil. When you dig it is a little difficult to keep the sand from filling the hole back up.

I wonder how they did it?
