15 II. Bush 41

16 II. Bush 41 "Trying to eliminate Saddam...would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad  and, in effect, rule Iraq....There was no viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of our principles. Furthermore, unilaterally exceeding the United Nations' mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression that we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land.“ - GWH Bush on why he halted Operation Desert Storm
