#1 who was the prick grilling Rumsfeld over bunker busters? Oh yeah, Dorgan in '03 and Jack Reed in '05

bastards with their heads in the ground, so to speak. Guess which party?

They are digging deep?
How Deep is it?
He he he
They'd better not dig too deep?¹
He he he

¹No! I don't believe this. But such idiots as the magic mullahs deserve satire!

#3 I'd say some satellite IR images will be in demand soon.

#4 Hiding in a half-mile deep hole is not very useful once the hole is sealed, your "elevator" is out of service, and your air supply is cut off. Saddam had a deep bunker too, but when the going got rough he knew better than to use it. Worse comes to worse, we can bomb the top of that hole every day for months.

#5 Aren't tunnels kind of a bad idea in earthquake prone areas like, um, Iran?

#6 Well no matter how deep you build it you still need doors. Doors can be closed in a violent fashion.

#9 Tom's right. Tunnels need access doors, ventilation, power, etc. Seal off the openings and the tunnel becomes a tomb. We should have bombs big enough to make a lot of rubble over the openings. Then the UAVs can watch and see who starts digging out and where they work. Lather, rinse, repeat.
