Nope, Powell is on the record multiple times advising Bush to not press on to Baghdad because he feared the video fo the “highway of death” would turn public opinion against the war.

Powell was stuck in Vietnam mindset.

I don’t disagree with this latest point you made about Powell during Operation Desert Storm. But it was very clear in the 6 month lead-up (Operation Desert Shield) to the ground war (Operation Desert Storm) that Powell was strongly advocating for an economic and naval blockade of Iraq in lieu of a ground invasion.
