"I have considered that, but I am not sure that any of our B-2 stealth bombers have been modified to carry such a beast and it is too big for an F-117. Any of our conventional bombers (B-52 or B-1) would have been detected. Origional design of the MOAB was to be kicked out the back of a C-130 with the main difference that the C-130 could be considerably higher than for the daisy cutter and with the bomb guidance, far more accurate."

Maybe there is a new fangled conventional (pseudo conventional!) weapon compression technology bomb that the stealth can carry? I'm sure we have lots of toys still in the DoD toybox.

Short of a nuclear weapon, there's nothing that could provide that big of a bang in that small of a package.
