Hmmmm…on second thought, saying Gulf War 1 was a failure because Saddam was still in power at the end of it is like saying I failed to climb Mount Everest; I never tried.
Toppling Saddam was not an objective of that war, getting Iraqi armies out of Kuwait was. So in the end, it was a success.
Though a small one. Saddam was clearly the underdog against the US forces, unlike Hitler during WW2
