From an op-ed in The Daily Star, an English language daily in Bangladesh.
People are beginning to wonder which side Hillary Clinton is on. Surrounded by American flags and generals, at a March 5 press conference in Washington, DC, Hillary Clinton declared that she and Senator McCain will bring a life time of "experience" to the presidency, whereas Barack Obama will bring "a speech" -- adding that she and McCain had "passed the commander-in-chief test … as for Senator Obama, you have to ask him!"
So, according to Hillary Clinton, Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain is more qualified to be president than Democratic Senator Barack Obama. This is as close a candidate can come to committing treason against her own party! It is one thing to question the qualification of her Democratic opponent; but it is quite unprecedented to promote the candidacy of the other party's nominee.
Unless the Democratic party elders rein in the out of control Hillary Clinton campaign, she will not only wreck her own campaign, but her party's prospects as well. Hillary is validating what her critics have always accused her of: that Hillary is a polarising figure and that the Clintons care only about themselves, not about the party. Unless Hillary is the Democratic nominee, it is as though she does not care who wins the presidency.
