The smallest nuclear weapons are only about 10 times as powerful as the truck bomb that took out the federal building in OKC -- enough to lay waste to a city block or 2, but falling off rapidly in destructive effects a few hundred yards away from the blast point.

I can't help but wonder if one of the purposes of MOAB is to provide deniability for the use of small tacnukes....

I'm trying to figure out why we need tactical nukes at all, now that we have conventional bombs of equivalent power.
