The threat isn't so much the anti-aircraft sites recently constructed, but the alleged two nuclear bombs that may have been built. Iraqi scientists may be fearful about whether these alleged bombs will work as designed or if they would work at all, so the concern in the West is low that such bombs would be a threat at this time.

An associated problem is deployment. Saddam may explode them on the Iraqi-Arabian border in order to irradiate the nearby gulf oil fields held by Kuwait, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. This would be a way to do bomb testing. Of course, it ruins much of Iraq's fields too, but to Saddam that isn't as important smashing the infidels.
