That whole bit about Bush going in there for dear old dad is crap. Bush senior handed Saddams ass to him on a silver platter, he completely and utterly destroyed Saddams ability to wage an effective war in the long foreseeable future. He destroyed the threat, saved Kuwait, and left. Part of the reason he didn't occupy the place was that he didn't want to fight a multi-year insurgency like the Americans are currently fighting now.
