It’s a fight! It’s a duel! It’s Darth Vader vs. Luke Skywalker (guess
whose side William Kristol is on?)! Jon Stewart gives the cable news
hype machine lowlights before examining the gist of President Obama’s
and former-Vice President Dick Cheney’s speeches on terrorism policy.

Echoing language eerily similar to President George W. Bush’s foreign
policy fear-mongering, Obama rebuked members of Congress who are
hesitant to
close Guantanamo Bay. Jon Stewart, voicing the criticism of many
pundits
across the political spectrum, mocked Cheney’s instance that
there is no middle ground: “But there’s only been like a three to five
percent change from your terror fighting policies to Obama’s!”
