Bush got to negotiate the terms of the cease fire with the Iraqis in 1991.

Not the issue; the ceasefire agreement has absolutely zero to do with what the UN mandate was. The issue is "what was the UN mandate?". The answer to the question is "to eject Saddam from Kuwait". There was no American policy for regime change until after Saddam showed noncompliance with the terms of ceasefire.

Do I think we can maintain a military presence indefinitely?

Don't you understand this would actually escalate the level of terrorism against the United States. This is pretty obvious.
