Wasn't an option. The UN mandate prevented coalition forces from occupying any Iraqi soil.
Pretty much. What WAS an option was 'supporting' the uprisings that came immediately after. And by supporting it I don't mean arming them, but doing what was perfectly legal: enforce the no-fly zone. The total failure to simply ENFORCE the no-fly zone allowed Hussein to obliterate the rebels, which would've taken him out of power. You gotta wonder why, especially considering that George I had encouraged it right before it happened.
