	Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr
		General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr (1914 - 1982) was President of Iraq from 1968 to 1979.
		As the president got older, more and more authority was gradually delegated to Hussein, and by the mid 70's the vice president had established virtual de facto rule over the entire nation.
		In 1979 the 65-year-old Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr stepped down and Saddam Hussein assumed the presidency in a move that was widely regarded as little more than a formality.
