We could have gone further with the Gulf War, but for various reasons opted not to. However, that does not equate to not finishing.
I believe the Gulf War was a victory. Patton was in favor of pushing through to Moscow. He said the Soviets were a pariah and needed to be dealt with. Does that mean we didn't finish WWII? We pushed Sadam out of Kuwait. That was pretty mush the agreed upon goal. Should we have done more?, could we have done more? Or would that have ended like the situation we have now?
