Just saw John Pike on Fox News. (Full disclosure: I interviewed him several times many years ago and used him as a source when I was covering Vandenberg AFB for the Lompoc Record.) Pike suggested that we might find a use for the Mother of All Bombs if, hypothetically, a column of Iraqi troops was heading toward U.S. forces on the road to Tikrit. Pike said that we could drop the bomb on the road in front of the Iraqi column to "demoralize" their troops.

I've got a better idea.

Why don't we just drop the bomb on the Iraqi column and kill the Iraqi troops? After all, if they're still fighting for Saddam Hussein at this point, I don't think they're likely to be able to be reintroduced into a polite, democratic, post-Saddam Iraq.
