Shooting at aircraft flying over Iraq didn't endanger America. I think most people understand that the aircraft engagements were meaningless in the greater scope of things- certainly Bush didn't use them as the centerpiece for his justification. He said that Iraq was a danger to the US, and in most speeches he followed THAT bit with a genuflection to 9/11- the better to amalgamate the two ideas. It's no wonder people think he lied. What he did was use rhetoric in a way that managed to deceive, without actually lying. It was very clever, but most people ended up feeling they were lied to anyway. Bush was hoist by his own very clever petard, in the end.
