I like it!
The tow bag is a normal part of a Gravity Tug's equipment- although the bag wouldn't be placed around the entire asteroid, unless the 'roid is very small. You fill the Tow Bag up with rubble to change the mass distribution of the tug itself. But you could use a tow bag to pull a smaller asteroid towards your target, and it would be pretty devastating (not that I recommend this as a political solution to anything, mind you).
