President George Bush Sr. thought that there was no need to take Baghdad and he also thought that Saddam Hussein was finished politically. Southern and Northern Iraq was in rebellion, after they got kicked out of Kuwait by the coalition forces. President Bush Sr. didn't want American casualties by taking Baghdad and Saddam. Saddam's own army was in shambles after Operation Desert Storm and at that time didn't pose anymore threats to the world and its neighboring countries.
