Are you arguing that Bush Administration hid the fact that it had multiple

Which is why the US government instructed me to to stock a change of
clothes, toiletries, a pillow, and a blanket in my office in case of an
attack?

No, we are at war because September 11th caused this President to recognize
that we had long since been at war in a way that we had not previously
recognized. Moreover, 9/11 caused this President to realize that the
commoditization of WMD-technology was rapidly creating a very dangerous
future for the United States unless we attacked to prevent that dystopia
from happening.
