All these guys speak with a forked tongue. By all accounts, after the gulf war was won, Bush Sr. couldn't have cared less about Iraq. He gave scant attention to the cease-fire deal worked out by his lower echelon advisers. A smarter deal, more crippling to Saddam and his military could have been worked out at the time. The Bush Sr. administration simply walked away from Iraq, sort of like Reagan did after the Soviet pullout of Afghanistan.

Bush Sr. may say one thing in 1998, but he was thinking something else (or rather not thinking) at the end of the gulf war. Also Thatcher, Schwarzkopf (sp) and others have long said Saddam should not have been left in power.
