Why wouldn't Pres. Bush tell the public the story after the mission was competed?

Because it was still there, in Iraq, even after he left office, and there were still plenty of bad guys who would want to get it. Hell, some of it is still there.

I'm not necessary trying to defend the decision not to say anything, but if you accept the premise that it was kept secret to help keep it hidden, then it makes sense that they would have kept quiet about it until they moved it out of there.

No, that doesn’t make any sense either.
