Man, if it's as bad as the one under the Atlanta airport, we're gonna need major reinforcements STAT!

Could this tunnel lead to the Indestructable Bunker?

Was their a bunch of oriental guys in jumpsuits running around? Does this lead to the bunker diguised as a volano?

Well, why not, other places like Washington DC have miles of tunnels to get the Senators etc. from one place to another undetected. Makes sense. But nothing has been flying over Iraq except Coalition aircraft so if Saddam was still alive, he didn't escape that way.

Unless he did just before the first bombing raid. Sheer dumb luck?

During the first Gulf War I debriefed a Philippino worker who had worked on "secret" tunnels for several years and was able to point some of them out on maps. The most obvious ones were tunnels from some of the palaces to the river with openings disguised as houses on the river.

Several of the entrances were reportedly targetted during the air campaign.

One of the tunnels he worked on was so "secret" that he did not know where he was or where the tunnel was. The workers were loaded onto truck with no windows, and then taken into a building where they got out and went into the tunnel. He worked on that one for almost six months.

Oh, by the way, while the basic labor was done by Philippinos, the engineers were all German.

Hidden submarine base?

I think they just found the basement. It's where they keep the airline meals.

Don't forget those chem suits & masks. Perfect trap.

Having eaten more than my share of airline food, I think Sean may be on to something.

Provided he meant it's where they keep all the airlines' meals.

YOu can bet that that tunnel connects to the palace tunnels. WOuldn't *you* want an undercover way to get to the airport, "just in case"?

Time for the tunnel rats. Go get 'em, guys.

Hey wait a minute, since when is Pismo Beach inside a cave?

Send robots down the tunnel!

sounds like a job for those new robots.

i can imagine them building a bunker accessable via tunnel only, so as to leave no surface indication of it's existance.

how about an hour long special on tv tonight - 'what's in saddam's tunnels' - courtesy of a robot w/cam

Send in Geraldo!

where's geraldo now that we need him?

I suppose I'll have to dispose of the little monster

Send Geraldo! It'll be just like the Al Capone vault back in the 80s!

Hey! Why not send Geraldo?

Could this be what the Pentagon mean when Bagdhad falls from the inside out?

OK, but if John Amos shows up in a beret, do NOT trust him.

Weren't those tunnels in "Die Hard 2"?

Maybe, with Geraldo as host?

maybe we can get Geraldo (or Arnett) to open up the tunnel live, during a TV special.

They must know where it goes. Otherwise how do they know it is twelve miles Long?

There's a sign at the entrance that says,

"Baghdad, 12 miles ----> "

I was going to say geraldo too, but go get Arnet, he's a rat.....

"They must know where it goes. Otherwise how do they know it is twelve miles Long?"

They timed the echoes.

Inspect the walls for writing. If it says XYZZY be vewy vewy caweful.

And pickup the bird in the cage...

Why not send in Peter Arnett?

It'll make building the Baghdad subway system easier!

And, Rollerball, don't forget to use the bird to scare the dragon so you can get the Persian Rug.

Plugh!

Nothing happens.

Thank god our troops have probably played a lot of Quake

"Hello, Cleveland! Rock and Roll!"

seems like an "IDEAL" opportunity to test the resolve & negotiating skills of the "human shields"- - sort of an "expeditionary-experiment"
for those inclined to tap-dance in a mine field. save the tunnel-rats. Arnett would be a great choice for point (man?)

The tunnel leads to the Alamo's basement.

If there's anyone named Pussy Galore, watch out! Especially, if she's wearing a spandex jumpsuit.

Shit, just park an Abrams in the tunnel backed up by a platoon of grunts and a pair of .50 cal HB's. Anyone (or anything) stupid enough to come down that tunnel will only do it ONCE.

Nuff said.
