John Kerry actually said...

"I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform. And I personally apologize to any service member, family member, or American who was off..."

"John Kerry apologized today for what he said about Iraq. He called it a botched joke."

"I'm sick and tired of a whole bunch of Republican attacks, the most of which come from people who never wore the uniform and never had the courage to stand up and go to war themselves."

"I apologize to no one for my criticism of the president and of his broken policy."
