Best Answer

Saddam Hussein was president of Iraq from July 16, 1979 until April 9, 2003. He was president during the Iraq War until his capture on December 13, 2003. The next two Iraqi Presidents, who both served during the US-led Occupation period, were Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer and Jalal Talabani. However, it is worth noting that these two presidents have significantly less power than Saddam Hussein did since (1) Saddam had dictatorial powers as opposed to the current government which is democratic and (2) Iraq now has a more powerful Prime Minister, which it did not have before.
