Well, what do you think? You have yet to explain your view regarding the hypocrisy evidenced in every single one of the justifications you have given for the war.

Not the least of which is the fact that it would severely reduce the effectiveness and give the potential targets ammunition to sway world opinion. This is politics people, it's not group therapy where you share all the details and the motivations for your actions.

If every other administration murdered children in gas chambers, would that make it okay for this one to do it as well?
If an administration doesn't give me all the reasons for building a road, or implementing emission regulations, or constructing a pipeline, fine, whatever. But to instigate an invasion and send my cousin/brother/father into war and possible death and not only not divulge the proper reasons for it, but lie about most of it, that is far, far from fine. You don't feel they owe it to the very people who's interests they are supposed to have at heart and to whom they are ultimately responsible to disclose their reasons for going to war?
