I think Benny said it best. Kim wanted the world to think he had a nuke, but "misunderestimated" the West's ability to verify whether an underground explosion was a nuke.
If we think he has nukes, he gets to negotiate from a position of strength. If we call his bluff, he's nothing to us.

The Question Should Be
"HOW Would N Korea Fake A Nuke Test ?"
Seismic Evidence Would Prove A Faked Test

They wouldn't fake it. Kim Jong Il is a friggin idiot to announce to the world his intentions and then fail. He has shamed his comrades. He has made a laughing stock of his people and his country. He is a total failure.
If they haven't already, the N.Korean people should string him up the way the Italians did Mussolini, during WWII.
