The MOAB, sadly, is looking more and more like a piece of pre-war propoganda to scare senior Iraqi officers into cooperating with us (hence the very public airing of test footage). It has never been used in battle, and I don't think there are plans to do so.

Look, I'm not saying they never had ties, simply saying that Zarqawi being in Fallujah NOW proves nothing about Saddam's involvement in something that happened 3 years ago.

The thing nobody ever brings up is that only one nation refused to fly its flag at half-staff at the UN following 9/11. Take a wild guess which country that was.

Like nukes and flame-throwers, MOAB is not a PC-approved weapon. Of course, slamming hijacked commercial airliners into civilian buildings and detonating explosives on civilian mass transit carries is generally approved by world governing bodies.
