Back during the time of his Paris travels, John Kerry liked to dismiss the South Vietnamese army during the Nixon administration's efforts at "Vietnamization" as "Quislings" (which evidently, since these South Vietnamese were collaborating with the U.S., made us the Nazis). Now apparently he's all for "Iraqization." Yesterday on CBS's Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer, he insisted: "You've got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis." But then he did Dick Durbin one better:

"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of -- the historical customs, religious customs. Whether you like it or not, Iraqis should be doing that."

John Kerry really is a sicko.
