Instead of dropping a bunker blaster ON a cave where it may not reach the objective penetration for a cave under thousands of feet of granite (like our military operations in Cheyenne Mt.,CO), Why not mount one of the mini-nukes onto the nose a laser guided rocket and laser guide the rocket IN-TO a cave?

This would take care of the "under ground" terrorists hiding IN the cave. Those not mist-i-fied by the explosion, could dance and cheer while letting the radiation and their biological weapons overwhelm them while the entrance to the cave crumbles shut.

No atmospheric radiation, the bad guys are with their allah, and we get a significant military score.

No muss, no fuss!

There is method in this idea that goes unnoticed. If you've ever spelunked you'd know that caves are the result of water erosion and their tunnels always bend and turn. Therefore flying a nuke into a cave would still result in it's exploding within a few yards. However, the resulting explosion and instantaneous pressure increase would be felt within the entire cave system, rendering it's occupants deaf or dead. Possibly blowing them clean out the other end. This effect can also be experienced with conventional warheads and I am immediately herewith applying for copywrite and patent rights to the idea. Pentagon - are you listening ?
