Baghdad Couple Names Son After Bush

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A Baghdad couple named their son after President Bush (news - web sites) to show their thanks for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).



The boy was born six weeks ago to Nadia Jergis Mohammed, 34, and her husband Abdul Kader Faris, 41.

"I tell you all Iraqis hated Saddam's regime. It was only George Bush who liberated us, without him it wouldn't have happened. If he hadn't done it the sons of Saddam would have ruled us for years. He saved us from Saddam and that's why we named our son after him," Mohammed told Associated Press Television News.

The boy, born July 11, carries the full name George Bush Abdul Kader Faris Abed El-Hussein. He weighed 7 pounds 11 1/2 ounces at birth. Two older brothers are named more traditionally Omar and Ali.

Saddam's sons Odai and Qusai were killed in a fierce gunbattle with U.S. troops July 22 in Mosul.
