Kerry just cannot bring himself to utter an honest apology. Sorry, but this ain't it: "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."

There was a bit more, but nothing of consequence.

UPDATE: And by the way, I don't care if Kerry issues a real apology or not.  He BELIEVES what he has been saying for three decades.  He has not been "misinterpreted."  Kerry is a leftist who dislikes the military.  So, when people say "I accept his apology" or "the matter is over," they miss the point.  This is an ongoing struggle between those who support the military and it mission and those who don't.  This runs deeper than another non-apology apology.
