The strike was the first use of the weapon and part of the Pentagon’s intense air campaign in Afghanistan against the militant group.
Why sudden interest by Trump in war agaist Syria, and now ISIS in Afganistan? After all the America first campaigning, and condemning Obama for all foreign wars, he is getting involved in military actions with 2 countries in just the first few months of his presidency...interesting....

It seems pretty straightforward;
"ISIS has had a strong presence in Nangarhar and three other Afghan provinces for years, said Roggio, who also is the editor of the Long War Journal. The fact that the U.S. dropped the MOAB indicates that ISIS remains a threat in the area, he said. The weapon is also effective against enemy fighters who hide in caves."
It looks like the NYT is just being its usual partisan self and making stuff up. Why do people post that drivel on this site?

It is a clever and prudent strategy to fight against the greatest evil of our times in foreign lands well away from home.
The only danger which exists to ''downtown'' America is from the 5th columnists, ( the enemy within) as introduced by Obama and his cohorts.

But before he can concentrate sufficient forces to eradicate the vermin he has to neutralize the North Korean nuclear capability first.
