That's correct. The mission was to get the Iraqis out of Kuwait after they refused to withdraw voluntarily. The international coalition that Bush Sr. put together did not authorize coalition forces to go after Saddam on his home turf.

It's emabarrassing to have so many people in the U.S. still ignorant of this, and still asking why we didn't "finish the job". The coalition did finish the job.

BTW the coalition that Bush Sr assembled was unprecendented and was quite amazing, to have so many disparate countries, over 100 if I recall correctly, signing on.
