"Would it really have made a difference back in 2002 if we thought North Korea wasn't as nuclear capable as once assumed?"

Back in 2002, the plutonium was locked up and monitored. Now at least some of it is in bombs. That is the difference.

"So some in the CIA had doubts. Like I said, there's always going to be a doubter."

Given the history of the Bush administration, it is likely they did like they did in Iraq. Ignored the doubters and only listened to the ones who told them what they wanted to hear. He already was making remarks about appeasing NK's bad behavior. So here we are, 5 years and a handful of nukes, appeasing NK's bad behavior. If it was bad policy then, why is it good policy now?

Talk about flip-flopping...
