#1 You can never have a bomb that's too big.

Only problem I see is droping on target will probably be a big deal.

#11 Just put some of those naval rail guns in space. Make them "duals" (pointing in both directions so they don't change orbits) and shoot straight down at a hyper-velocity. Dropping only gets you 450 meters/second impact speed. Rocket acceleration can get 900. That's maybe 60 to 90 meters into limestone (newest scientific american). A rail gun in space should do way better shooting down.
Maybe even lots of repeating shots like a mini-gun to swiss-cheese the place.

#14 Seems like the possibility of a string of JDAM's on the same aimpoint, each timed to strike through the previous one's material fluff up, would dig a pretty deep hole.
