Most western countries WILL posess small stocks of biological agents,
if only to have something to test the antidotes against. But of course
having small cultures doesn't equal a full-blown biological stockpile -
however I don't doubt that the USA could build the necessary production
facilities within a couple of weeks.

As for chemical weapons - most countries posess production facilities
suitable for production of chemical agents of some kind, at least the
agents used in WW1. The only thing lacking is something to fill them in
to deliver them to the enemy target.
