I just heard them commenting about this test on CNN. They said that they were testing it in order to have it ready in time for Iraq. Something about using the weapon to "demoralize" the Iraqi army.

"We got us a biiiiiiig bomb! Really big! MASSIVE! You think the bombs we dropped on you guys last time were somethin'?? Well we spent BILLIONS makin' even bigger ones for this time around!"

I'm pretty sure the Iraqis are already terrified of our bomb capability. They saw it first-hand recent enough to recall with great clarity. This "demoralizing" that is sought is going to happen in very short order upon an invasion, regardless of having a bigger bomb.
