For starters, the Syrian base was partly operational within a few hours after the 59 Tomahawk missiles (nearly 3 times the blast of one MOAB) hit it (assuming that they all made it; at least one did not) and was fully operational within a day later.
And your experience with target analysis and mission planning indicated that the MOAB would be the weapon of choice to ... collapse the port-a-pottys?

Thanks for the kind words, but my knowledge is likely nowhere near Gawdzilla's, who helps run one of the best if not the best) WWII site I've ever come across. GS also, I think, stays more current on modern weapons and doctrine than I do.
Aw shucks.
