During the 90s, when Scott Ritter was the head inspector during the inspections in which these posessions were stated, yes, Saddam said he had these things. Some have argued though that he was lying then, among other reasons, in order to posture himself (this is common during arms agreements, you need to give SOMETHING up, so why not lie and say you have something?).
Now, when reviewing the dossier, The U.S. is saying "where is THIS!!??" We knew then he was probably full of shit. Now we want him to be honest, because it furthers our war aims.
