the US made the hardest decision and executed the hardest task to rescue Kuwait and the rest of the inepts in the area... so why stop now???? What "letter of the agreement”? I have some suspicions as to why Bush (1) stopped

Let's hear Bush Sr out:

If he had sent U.S. military forces on to Baghdad, Bush asserted in the 1998 book he wrote with Brent Scowcroft, his national security adviser, "The United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land."

If the United States announced such a goal unilaterally, he added, "We would be committing ourselves -- alone -- to removing one regime and installing another and if the Iraqis themselves didn't take matters into their own hands, we would be facing an indefinite occupation of a hostile state and some dubious 'nation-building.' "
