Kerry apologizes again for remarks RAW STORY
Published: Wednesday November 1, 2006 Print This Email This In a release issued 4:10 EST today, United States Senator John Kerry (D-MA) apologized again for a statement that he contends was misconstrued to be an insult to American troops.
Kerry's statement, in its entirety, follows:
#
As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear to anyone in uniform and to their loved ones: my poorly stated joke at a rally was not about, and never intended to refer to any troop.
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 offended.
It is clear the Republican Party would rather talk about anything but their failed security policy. I don't want my verbal slip to be a diversion from the real issues. I will continue to fight for a change of course to provide real security for our country, and a winning strategy for our troops.
