Washington, Dec 30 (Prensa Latina) The execution of ex Iraqi president Saddam Hussein pleased US President George W. Bush, after a difficult year for his troops in the Arab country.In brief declarations to the press at his ranch Crawford in Texas the leader said the Hussein death is a milestone for the nation of the Persian Gulf.
Bush recognized that things have gone wrong since the ex chief of the Iraqi government was defeated by the English-US invasion on March 2003.
Hussein s execution won t end violence in Iraq, noted the president, in agreement with analysts that the sentence could bring about armed actions of rebel groups against the occupying forces.
