Bush Sr. knew that North Korea had a nuclear weapons program.

They reported it to the IAEA in 1992.

Poppy couldn't get an agreement to suspend the program, fortunately Clinton did. Unfortunately Junior screwed it up.

TP
1992: North Korea declares to IAEA that it has seven sites and about 90 grams of plutonium.

1992: In 5 trips, lets inspectors visit 7 declared sites.

1992: Buries, according to U.S. intelligence, first floor of two-story building, believed to contain waste from plutonium extraction.

1992: Continues to produce plutonium and process it into weapon-ready form.

1992: IAEA concludes there are inconsistencies in North Korea's nuclear declaration, and requests access to two additional sites at Yongbyon; North Korea denies access to one site and only visual access to the other.

So, Bush Jr. would have also known when he received his intelligence briefings prior to his swearing in as President of the United States... long prior to last August when he claims (or was it May :) that he first learned of the uranium enrichment program... that's over 1 1/2 years earlier than he admits.
