You can't really compare, the Gulf war cut through a single province of Iraq, The Iraqi army didn't stand a chance, Bush sr. belived a civil uprising would get Saddam, that was a primary goal, see? Kuwait first, then Saddam. He failed that way.
Bush went on an all out invasion, he destroyed the Iraqi Army more efficiently than his father, but his father didn't have to fight militias and insurgents. And Bush didn't think he would either. He thought the people would cheer Saddam's ousting and the US will get a Hero's welcome.
I'd bet not a single general brushed up on Iraq's history. It might have happened in Somalia, but Iraq demographically has never existed, It was a creation of the World war. Saddam's periodic genocides was the only thing holding the place together.
Still don't get why doen't Bush send in 500,000 More troops and declare countrywide martial law. Might work.
And Farenheit 9\11... Wow. Just watched that.
