To display the newly low US inhibition to actually USE that weapon in combat:

To build in OTHERS an impression of inevitability of it’s use against THEM.

To show that the new US Prez has a totally new outlook on US Use of Force.

I think it was getting close to the expiration date so we figured it best to not let it go to waste.

Really, I think the message is that if you kill one of ours, we’ll make you pay dearly.

Prop pictures seem to show that no trees were harmed in it’s explosion. Now green bombs will be all the rage.

To send a message everywhere that even if you can hide from Drone strikes or Special Ops teams we can still kill you in your bunker with a thermobaric weapon...

As even CNN stated it was to make good on a campaign promise.

Screw this poll.

Ans.: To put a logjam in the tunnel system that goes from Afghanistan to Pakistan.

Recommendation: Put a jogjam in the other end, Pakistan.

Lots of leftists casting their votes apparently:

Why do you think the U.S. dropped a MOAB in Afghanistan?

To distract from the Trump/Russia election hack. (54%)
To save the lives of U.S. military personnel. (46%)

Actually I think it was to destroy the complex as the MOAB is know for being a bunker buster.

But it is no longer even The Mother of All Bombs anymore

“Close” only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, and MOAB’s.

For the same reason the missiles were launched at the Syrians. To lay down a marker - Don’t mess with us. There’s a new sheriff in town.

And incidentally to kill some terrorists and to fulfill his campaign promise to bomb the sh@@ out of ISIS. I’d say the bomb did that.
