Alright Kerry said the word was bad to use, but he still hasn't apologized.
IMO saying the word was bad to use takes some pressure off of him, because he himself said he commited the same things, but of course now they aren't atrocities.
And i'm not saying he shouldn't have stood before the US Senate, but he should have stood before them after refusing to carry out the atrocities that other troops were.# He would have made twice the statement then.

Okay let me get this straight -- he should apologize for saying that atrocities were being committed, and when I use the very link you yourself provided as proof that he has done this, he's just taking heat off himself?
You want him to say "there were not atrocities" and if he does then it's just a personal cop-out.
And again -- it's been explained to you repeatedly -- he was not weaseling out of anything. He was admitting his own guilt and he was saying "terrible things are going on in Viet Nam, I was part of it, I saw it with my own eyes, we have to get out of there because American soldiers are dying and it is a mistake".
He was right. What he said was the truth. Get it? He was not wrong. What he said was happening was actually happening. It's been proven. There were atrocities. They ended the war because it was a mistake. You want him to apologize for being correct.

Where's it been proven that what he said was correct?
IMO he lied, thats why i want him to apologize.
Jane Fonda apologized, so obviously something the anti-war protesters were saying was wrong. [/b][/quote]
Come on now -- everyone knows that atrocities took place and most everyone will agree that the war was a mistake for America.
You want him to apologize for a lie -- what specifically was the lie? Maybe he should apologize for the timing of his comments (I disagree) but what lies did he tell?
