In regards to his comments about killing Chavez, Mr. Robertson says:
I didn’t say ‘assassination.’ I said our special forces should ‘take him out.’ And ‘take him out’ can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted by the AP [Associated Press], but that happens all the time.
For reference sake, here are his comments:
If he [Chavez] thinks we’re trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it. We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don’t need another $200 billion war to get rid of one strong-arm dictator. It’s a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.”
This is an apology?

well sure “take him out” could mean so many things like:
take him out to the movies
take him out to dinner
take him out to the ball game
i find it annoying when someone sayes something really stupid, and instead of admitting that they made a mistake they point the finger at someone else.
dude screw up and now he has to live with it. life sucks don’t it.
