Controversy has swirled around the ending of Desert Storm, with some authors suggesting that the premature ending of the war resulted in a strategic failure. Suggestions for a more satisfactory ending have ranged from destruction of the Republican Guard to the physical occupation of Iraq. This article examines the tactical and strategic elements of the decision for war termination. While the exact timing of the cease-fire may well have been far from perfect, a major expansion or continuation of the war would probably have created an even worse situation in the region, with considerably more instability resulting. Given the emphasis on multilateral operations by U.S. policymakers, such incomplete victories will probably be a continuing pattern, as the United States must assess its operations in terms of not only military issues but also the political desires of its partners. |
