Well, we have some conventional ordinance now that's more powerful than atom bombs, and I'd be more than satisfied with those



Not true.

MOAB, which is our most powerful conventional bomb, uses around 18,000 pounds of trinotol which equals around 10 tons TNT equivalent. 1/100 of a kiloton. The first atomic bombs were of the 20 kiloton variety. Thats 20,000 tons of TNT, or enough to fill a good sized cargo ship. The MOAB just can't compete with that. A MOAB won't flatten a whole city. You can bet the farm that 1940s era A-bomb will, but of course we have much better stuff than that now. A B-61 bomb from an F-16 would be a good choice for Falluja. Instead of making trinitite, we can make some fallujatite.
Just thought you should know. Moab is just a pimple on an A-bomb's ass and nukes are the only thing good enough for the vermin in falluja.
I say show em the bomb and let allah sort em out
