Saddam provided written documentation to the UN that he had a specific amount of WMD's.

Using simple math, according to the man that provided both figures, he still had WMD's. This was validated by the UN. (look up your own links, there have been many posted on P&N)
amount of WMD's claimed by Iraq to the UN - amount of WMD's proven to have been destroyed claimed by Iraq to the UN and the US = existing WMD's in Iraq.
Sure and the job of sorting out the descrpancy is left to the UN team that was doing the investigation. Companies do this all the time: I think I have made X units of a product, I believe I sold <X units but can't find any more in my warehouse. I guess it's time for an audit.
Ok... Using your analogy...
You stated on a form that kept you from going bankrupt that you had X units of a product that you will liquidate. You are told to provide very specific documentation to prevent being forced into bankruptcy by your lenders. You state on this very specific documentation that you didn't sell all of the units you stated you would. The Auditors come in and over a period of nearly 10 years, the auditors are constantly kept from auditing and lied to. Even after the final documentation was submitted that reflected not all of your units were sold, you continued to hinder the auditors. Finally after 10 years worth of stalling and grace periods, [edit] not just one but some of [/edit] the lenders come to remove you from the company.
Actually I do like your analogy. It explains what happened pretty clearly.
