If true, then those who advised the U.S president on that matter are definitely misleading him. Iraq was not a nuclear state, nor was Syria but the unrest in those countries is still having a huge and negative impact on the world. So how would someone just attack a war- ready nuclear nation such as North Korea without taking into account the messy outcome?

There is a certain amount of nukes and sophistication of the nuke that would create a total deterrence against US aggression.
North-Korean nukes as at now does not offer that deterrence.
All their 20-30 mid-range nukes would be shot down by US jets before it leaves North-korea.

Misleading assurance just like the ones that made George W. Bush believe the Iraqi people would cheer at US troops entering Bagdad at the fall of Saddam and things would go smoothly from there as planned.

Saddam was defeated in 2003 but the war is still going on.
