KING: What happened to her family?

ZEYNAB (through translator): She said that 17 from her family, uncles, aunts and cousins, all of them just died by this cluster bomb, and only she was the survivor from that misery and with her -- apart from her father, only.

ZEYNAB (through translator): I'm just to see my country that's explosion every day, and (UNINTELLIGIBLE), and the children also, they're losing their limbs by these accidents by these explosions, and there's insecurity in Iraq now, and I am asking why this is happening inside my country.

KING: Does she bear anger toward the British and the Americans? Does she have bad feelings?

ZEYNAB (through translator): Yes, and why they are just -- bombed us and killed my family? And they are not now taking responsibility, they are not now trying to help the children inside Iraq, and after what they did inside my country, from killing the civilians, so they have to take the responsibility and try to help those children. If they want, they can get out from our country.

KING: Did you have friends that were hurt too, Zeynab, or any friends injured?

ZEYNAB (through translator): I saw all my friends in that quarter, in that area, in that village, just all of them lost limbs, and they became victims, and all of them just hurt by this bombing. So why are they doing that?

KING: Zeynab lost 17 members of her family. I understand, Bob Watts, that she still undergoes surgery to remove shrapnel, right?

WATTS: I believe so, but I'm not absolutely sure what's going on in that department.

KING: You learned about Iraq from her a lot, Heather?

MILLS MCCARTNEY: Really have. I asked, on the first meeting, you know, what did you think of Saddam Hussein before this war? Was he like -- was he bogeyman, or was he, you know, somebody that you didn't know too much about? And she said, yes, we knew about him, we knew that he wasn't a good man, but I had no fear of him. He was, you know, I was allowed to play in the street with my friends, they weren't harmed. She just wishes that we'd never gone in, as in the British and Americans.

4. But but, I took an oath!

NO MORE CNN. I promised. I deleted the rotten little stations from my list. Can't see em', won't watch em'. It works. I highly recommend it. :)

5. I'm George W. Bush, and I want

that kid off the air...now!

I'd like to see the politicos and generals have to look this little girl in the eye and explain to her why her mom's dead and she's missing a leg. Bet they don't have the courage.

8. they won't give a shit about her

they don't care about the Iraqi people.....

[liberalcanuck]

6. This would be helpful to show to all the people that give me that

blank stare as I tell them to try to possibly imagine what it would be like to feel the terror we inflict when we drop bombs. Those are my tax-paying dollars that are helping to wage this needless war. People tell me I'm being overly sensitive when I say this but I feel like blood is on all our hands.

9. Did she say 600 to 800 children awaiting artificial limbs

just in Basra? I thought that is what McCartney said. King looked somewhat horrified.

[Bullshot]

10. Do the so-called "pro-lifers" take things like this in account?

Around here in NW Ohio they don't. They get sucked into this far-right brainwashing that they only need to be concerned about life when it's in the fetal stage, inside an American woman. No other person, at any stage of life matters to these people. That's why they campaign for Bush and other Republicans with such militant attitudes.
