If I recall history correctly, Bush got the unprecedented international coalition together to support the specific mission of removing Saddam Hussein’s troops from Kuwait. There was not approval to remove him from Baghdad. In retrospect, it is easy to make a call that such should have been done.

Correct
If you'll also recall, it was Bush's Ambassador who green-lighted Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in the first place.
That part always gets lost in the parades and patriotic flag-waving.
