This was not a matter of a 100-hour war. Hanson fails to mention the authority that Congress had voted to that President Bush. As required by the Constitution, Congress had acted, and it had incorporated the UN Resolutions about getting Iraq out of Kuwait.

But when that was accomplished, the authority was exhausted. Whether that President Bush should have, theoretically, "finished the job" is not the issue. Whether he had the authority to do that OUGHT to be of interest, especially on a website whose participants claim to respect the Constitution.

They could have finished off the Republican Guard, east and south of Basra. That would have crippled Saddam's government. They could have refused to allow the Iraqi generals to ride anywhere, let alone fly. They could have provided arms and trainiong for the Kurds and Shia old 41 called on to rise, and then abandoned to the realpolitik of that idiot, Baker. They could have done any, or all, of that without violating the Constitution. They did nothing.
