The current NK nukes are ALL on Bush.

Nonsense. The nuclear program continued, probably without serious pause, from at least when Clinton was president, more likely from at least the 80s. And they where well on there way to a nuclear weapon by the time Bush took office. Maybe they have enough material to make a larger amount of bombs now than they would have if Bush had kept to the fiction that the North Koreans were not building nukes, but so what? They would still have been able to build a bomb, and the capability would continue to increase. If the fiction was maintained than nothing would have been done and they would have slowly built up their arsenal. A chance, even if it isn't a very large chance, to stop the process, is worth a slight acceleration of it, and if the NK regime thought they needed to have the acceleration they could have done it at any time. The very fact that NK was easily able to "kick out the UN, unplug the cameras, and begin reprocessing spent fuel" shows that the restrictions in place where not serious restrictions. The NK's let them remain in place only because they thought they could continue there program in secret.
