What was the purpose of invading Iraq the 1st time under Bush Senior?

Sarah Palin asked:


We invaded Iraq to help Kuwait protect its oil.
(as if sacrificing human life for oil is a worthy cause.)

and this was Iraq vs. Kuwait.
Didn’t President Washington warn us not to stick our nose in foreign business?

Kuwait’s not even a close ally.
