The plan of attack was that one wing of our forces was supposed to cut them off in their line of retreat and bottle them up. Swarzekoff[sp] was furious that the left was slowed which stopped the plan.

Where do you get this idea that you stop fighting just because you won the first battle of a war?

You stop fighting after you won the first battle of a war if you have already determined (as the United States did) that it will be the only battle of the war.
