look at my original post from SPIRI.
those figures were taken after gulf war1 in 1999 when the inspectors were 
made to leave.
Looks like to me his CW stock was quite viable

The following items remain unaccounted for:


Scud missile components, warheads and propellant
17 tonnes of growth media for the production of BW agents
Items of CW production equipment
4000 tonnes of CW precursors
750 tonnes of VX precursors
100 al-Hussein missiles
31000 CW munitions
20 R-17 Scud-B -type missiles
40-70 CBW-capable missile warheads
Significant quantities of biological warfare agents
Significant quantities of 155-mm ammunition rounds
