OH 1993, 2003 WANTS A WORD?
The Gulf War would be fought for [plainly stated & rigidly maintained] relatively modest objectives. Bush & his men concluded that the price of total victory would be infinite responsibility for rebuilding a hostile nation with no tradition of democracy but with immensely complex internal politics. This was and is in retrospect a sensible strategic calculation.

A corps commander sought clairvoyance. During combat he disengaged himself from the immediate mayhem to look ahead 24 to 72h. His job was not to kill the enemy but to provide killing opportunities for his tactical subordinates by putting the enemy in harm's way.
