CNN Founder Ted Turner Says he is Glad Soldiers are Killing Themselves Then Apologizes

Did you hear this news yesterday? Ted Turner the founder of CNN said on Wednesday (Oct 24, 2012) nights edition of Piers Morgan that he thinks that it is good that American soldiers are committing suicide in large numbers because it shows an aversion to war. Tell that to the spouse that was left behind or the devastated parents. You know on the bright side Johnnies death shows that he had an aversion to war.
Please! Who in their right mind would say that to anyone? Watch the video clip yourself.

However, infowars.com is reporting this morning that late last night that Turner issued the following apology.

During my recent interview on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, I inadvertently used the word “good” when asked for my thoughts on the increasing rate of suicide among U.S. military soldiers in the Middle East. It was certainly not my intent to imply that suicide is “good.” Rather, I was implying that it is good that the public is more aware of these tragedies and is more averse to war and war-related fatalities.

My message has always been one of peace, I believe that we’re born programmed to love and help each other, not to kill or hurt each other. I strongly support our U.S. troops and would never intentionally say anything to harm the brave men and women serving our country. I deeply apologize for any misunderstanding caused by this comment.

It's good that he apologized, but I don't buy for a minute that his original statement was unintentional.
