....to kill 94 people? Sounds like a waste of money. Couldn't conventional bombs do the same job to kill so few terrorists?
It costed about $314 MILLION to build the MOAB...

MOAB is conventional munition. The primary purpose of the strike was not to kill terrorists. That was a bonus. The primary purpose was to destroy HQ--their base of operations and staging area with its underground armory and its access to multiple mountain passages. The MOABs are a conventional solution used in place of tactical nukes. Which do you think is the better solution--MOAB or tactical nuke?
They can make up whatsoever. Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek: “We don’t have a cost per unit for the MOAB”,
It's not procured, it's built in house, so they don't track the cost per unit. Eleventy billion it is.
