The Situation Room: Hour Nine
![Sitrm1 Sitrm1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm1.jpg)
I'm Wolf Blitzer. To our viewers, you are in The Situation Room, where new pictures and information are arriving all the time. Standing by, CNN reporters across the United States and around the world to bring you the day's top stories happening now.
![Sitrm1 Sitrm1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm1.jpg)
In our ninth hour today: the war of words over the war in Iraq. The words of our next guest sparked a debate on the floor of Congress and in the media. Joining us now is Representative John Murtha.
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Congressman Murtha, welcome to The Situation Room.

Uh, Bob, can we fix this?

Congressman Murtha, welcome to The Situation Room.

Bob!
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Congressman Murtha, welcome to The Situation Room.
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
Congressman Murtha, welcome to Hardball.
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Chris?
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
Wolf? Where's Congressman Murtha?
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
That's what I was wondering. Must be a mix-up with the satellite.
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
Right, right...satellite. So, new show, huh? What's with all the TVs?
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Oh, well, we've got, you know, new pictures and information arriving all the time, and uh, CNN reporters across the United States and around the world to bring people the day's top stories happening now.
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
You know what it reminds me of? The Bat cave.
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
What?
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
From the old Batman show? Batman would just push a button, and Commissioner Gordon's face would pop up on a screen...
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Yeah, listen...
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
Maybe Alfred the butler...
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Uh-huh.
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
I always wondered why they had all the animal-themed criminals.
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
I never really gave it much thought.
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
Let' see, there was The Penguin, Catwoman...
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Chris...
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
Come to think of it, Batman and Robin were animal-themed, weren't they? I should do a show on this.
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Chris...
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
This is probably enough material for two shows. I wonder if Michael Isikoff is into Batman. I know Howard Fineman is.
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Chris!
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
Yeah?
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
I'd love to chat with you, but I'm in the middle of a show.
![Wolfmat Wolfmat](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wolfmat.jpg)
Right, right...show. Me too. Hey, thanks for being on the show, I've really learned a lot from you.
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
All right, I'm told we have the satellite feed now. Congressman Murtha, welcome to The Situation Room.
![Wlfmrt Wlfmrt](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt.jpg)
Thanks for having me, Chris.
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
It's Wolf.
![Wlfmrt Wlfmrt](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt.jpg)
Sorry.
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Congressman, you've...Excuse me one second, please.
![Sitrm1 Sitrm1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm1.jpg)
You're in The Situation Room.
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Congressman, you've made some very controversial statements recently. You said that the Army is "broken, worn out" and "living hand to mouth," and those statements have been contradicted not only by members of the administration, but by military commanders and service men and women on the ground in Iraq.
![Wlfmrt Wlfmrt](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt.jpg)
Wolf, I did say those things, but there is one very important detail to this story that is not being reported, and that is that I was doing...
![Wlfmrt2 Wlfmrt2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt2.jpg)
This.
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
I'm sorry, I don't understand what it is you're doing.
![Wlfmrt2 Wlfmrt2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt2.jpg)
"Quote marks."
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Quote marks?
![Wlfmrt2 Wlfmrt2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt2.jpg)
"Quote marks."
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
I'm not following you.
![Wlfmrt Wlfmrt](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt.jpg)
Well, if I say the army is...
![Wlfmrt2 Wlfmrt2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt2.jpg)
"Broken down,"
![Wlfmrt Wlfmrt](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt.jpg)
That doesn't sound so bad, does it?
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
So, are you saying you didn't really mean those things, that you were being sarcastic?
![Wlfmrt Wlfmrt](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt.jpg)
Chris...
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
Wolf.
![Wlfmrt Wlfmrt](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt.jpg)
Wolf, I'm just saying that, when people say certain things, they might not always be...
![Wlfmrt2 Wlfmrt2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt2.jpg)
"Sincere."
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
I still don't understand.
![Wlfmrt Wlfmrt](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt.jpg)
Listen, Wolf, the way kids talk these days, they might say something is...
![Wlfmrt2 Wlfmrt2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt2.jpg)
"hot"
![Wlfmrt Wlfmrt](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt.jpg)
but what they really mean is that it's
![Wlfmrt2 Wlfmrt2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt2.jpg)
"cool."
![Wlfmrt Wlfmrt](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt.jpg)
You follow me?
![Sitrm2_2 Sitrm2_2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm2_2.jpg)
I don't, but I'm afraid we're out of time for this segment. Perhaps we can have you back some other time. Congressman John Murtha, thanks for being with us in The Situation Room.
![Wlfmrt Wlfmrt](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt.jpg)
Thanks for having me, Wolf, it's been...
![Wlfmrt2 Wlfmrt2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/wlfmrt2.jpg)
"great."
![Sitrm1 Sitrm1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm1.jpg)
You're in The Situation Room. We'll start our tenth hour after this short break. Stay with us.
![Sit_title_1 Sit_title_1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sit_title_1.jpg)
You're in The Situation Room.
![Sitrm1 Sitrm1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sitrm1.jpg)
Once again - you're in The Situation Room.
![Sit_title_1 Sit_title_1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/sit_title_1.jpg)
You're in The Situation Room.
Thanks to tee bee for the "quote marks" idea.
