Oh good, Bush is talking again

George Bush is back and he's got ideas and opinions and stuff! And he needs you to hear them. He just wants you to be absolutely clear: he isn't criticizing Obama. Even if he does criticize Obama after he says he isn't. It's like saying "with all due respect" before telling someone their wife is a whore. You said "with all due respect" so it's not an insult.
"I told you I'm not going to criticize my successor," he said. "I'll just tell you that there are people at Gitmo that will kill American people at a drop of a hat and I don't believe that persuasion isn't going to work. Therapy isn't going to cause terrorists to change their mind."
I might not have read everything Obama said about Gitmo and committed it to memory, but wasn't the whole plan to move the terrorists from an inland chain link prison to good old fashioned American concrete and bar prisons? To move them from outside our and the world's legal system to the inside? Not, as the Decider says, give them a session with a therapist, have them partake in a trust 'falling' exercise, and then loosing them on the streets of Dubuke.

I just think inmates of our federal corrections facilities would probably find it funny to have their maximum security surroundings described as "therapy". But then again they aren't as smart as George Bush. After all they're in prison and he's walking around free, despite being a bigger crook. I think he knows what he's talking about: federal prison is for schoolgirls and namby pamby therapist pussies. If only Obama would get that through his head.
