John Kerry actually said...

Well, I'm glad that he's finally, after several years, acknowledging what many of us have been saying. But the real issue is not just whether or not the intelligence was wrong. It's why intelligence that they knew was wrong was used in order to exaggerate the situation. That is still unacknowledged and unresolved.

Context

John Kerry expresses his approval of President Bush acknowledging faulty intelligence but emphasizes the need to address why it was used to exaggerate the situation.
