"Werent convinced" is a far cry from "definitely not".
I'm not saying NK has them or not, but we've seen weapons inspectors get the run-around countless times in Iraq in the late 80's- early 90's.
If Kim wanted to hide a nuke, he certainly could: really, anyone could as long as you bought it already made from somewhere else.

Well, Korea was actively trying to prove it HAD nukes, and they didn't convince the nuclear dude. They have some mass of what appears to be refined plutonium, but whether they have critical mass is questionable, and they can't produce or refine all that much of the stuff.

So, if you want the US to leave you alone, all you have to do is scream "I have a nuclear bomb, and I want to blow up Americans with it!". Bush and Co. will respond "Yeah, right. Quit bothering us.".
However, you should never say "I don't have nuclear weapons", because then the immediate response will be "You bastard! How dare you threaten the United States, Old Glory, and apple pie?! Die, scum!".

They are not supposed to react. After all, I don't have oil.

Ah, but saying you dont have oil only means you're hiding it.
