Thing is they did say them.

what we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be miniscule if, in fact -- if, in fact -- God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.

If it was phrased another way, it could easily read, "America probably deserves terrorism, because God is angry at our lack of morality regarding homosexuals, feminism, and pagans." Which sounds extraordinarily similar to Wright's diatribe following 9/11.
Of course they retracted them, they stood to lose millions in funding, and by connection, salary. Retraction doesn't equal a change in belief.
They honestly believe those things, and in a period of PR disaster, admitted as such. You can not "take back" certain things, especially something like Americans deserved to be the recipient of a terrorist attack.
