Kerry makes direct apology to troops
Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. John Kerry apologized directly to U.S. troops on Wednesday for comments about Iraq that had prompted a firestorm of criticism from Republicans and President George W. Bush .

"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," Kerry said in a statement.

I don't know if it means much. Obviously you still have what John called the "gotcha" factor, but also its an apology for other people's interpretations. Not a real apology.
