Who was considered Saddams best forces during the Gulf War?

During his war against Iran in the 1980's, most of his military seemed to best the Iranians. During Operations Desert Storm (Jan/Feb '91) and Iraqi Freedom (2003), his Republican Guard units were supposedly the best. However, against the coalition forces during those campaigns, his Air Force fled into neighboring Iran, and his armies surrendered faster than coalition forces could advance. President Bush Sr. had to stop Desert Storm (after viewing the "Highway of Death" on television) because Desert Storm was turning into a slaughter instead of a war. President Bush Jr. ceased offensive operations against the NATION of Iraq when Saddam himself was removed from power during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Cleanup, the restoring of law, order and stability remains to be accomplished since then.
