Because, the mandate was to liberate Kuwait, not overthrow Iraq. Because our Arab partners in the war might not agree with the overthrow of Iraq. Because the USA hoped that Iraqis would overthrow Saddam Hussein without our help. Because we didn't want to get bogged down in another Vietnam type quagmire in Iraq in 1991. Because it would have taken a lot more money, soldiers and equipment to overthrow Iraq in 1991 than it took to liberate Kuwait.
