They would h ave to use it within 90 days (or less) because the nuclear triggers (aka flux capacitor) will detioriate to the point where they MIGHT not work, and within 120 days, when they WILL NOT work.

If they actually have one (doubtful), this is probable.
They have the further problem of delivery.

If they have a Bomb, they don't have a bomb. They might be
able to extract the fissionables for a dirty conventional
bomb.

They could also have a fake nuke, sold by crooked Russians
who wanted the money, but not the fallout, so to speak.

But it's more likely the case that Al-Q has none of the
above. We've heard this threat before, in the context of
a claim that they'd only use it as a last resort in self-
defense (hah).

They've been doing a lot of sabre rattling lately, and it's
because, no thanks to Kerry, Al-Q is hurting and doesn't
know how to stop the pros bearing down on them (nor do they
understand why allah doesn't step in to save them).

Please explain that. If true that means all the soviet stuff is just nuclear waste at this point.
