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!”
