FORT HOOD, Texas — President Bush said
Sunday that Iraqis will have better lives with
Saddam Hussein out of power and he advised the
Iraqi leader, if alive, to watch out.
“I would suggest he not pop his head up,” Bush
told reporters after meeting at an Army base with
two helicopters pilots who were held
as prisoners of war in Iraq.
Saddam’s fate is not clear and
Bush was asked for the latest update.
“Yes, Saddam Hussein is no longer
in power. That's for certain. He was
in power, and now he is not. And
therefore, the Iraqi people’s lives
will be much better off,” Bush said.
The president said “the libera
tion of Iraq will make the world
more peaceful.”
He visited the pilots and their
families, saying he had “a good talk
with them. Good, strong men.”
One of the pilots, Chief Warrant
Officer David S. Williams, said the
meeting “was an absolute honor.”
