Brigadier General Abd al-Karim Qasim.
It is commonly believed that King Faisal II was replaced with Saddam Hussein. This is not the case as King Faisal was ejected through a coup d'état and Saddam was not part of the Army. Brigadier General Abd al-Karim Qasim came to power as "President". He too was overthrown by a coup in 1963 by Colonel Abdul Salam Arif who ruled until 1966 when he died and his brother Rahman Arif became the Present. The Ba'aths under Ahmed Hasan Al-Bakir overthrew Rahman Arif in 1968 and his lieutenant, Saddam Hussein, would not come to power until 1979.
