Iraq supposedly had biological and chemical weapons. North Korea, on the other hand has nukes, which are the only true weapons of mass destruction. You can't shower off the effects of a 50 kiloton blast or save someone who's body mass was turned into plasma by sticking a needle in their arm. Nor did Hussien have 10,000 artillery peices sitting parked on the border of anyone waiting to turn them into a parking lot. Furthermore, North Korea has over a million active duty troops in their country right now. Saddam had something like 387,000 active troops. It would take between 600,000 and 700,000 troops to oust Kim assuming that his army is no better than Hussein's. Even if we did have that many troops to spare, we don't have a country to stage an invasion from. South Korea isn't letting us, China obviously won't let us, and Russa won't either. Not to mention that Kim could potentially kill hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of South Korean and Japanese civilians. After reviewing all of that, it becomes completely obvious why we have not done anything to Kim. As for the quotes I gave you, I was simply stating that even the Democrats believed in Saddam having WMD's, not that they were solid proof that he had them.
