President Obama and Dick Cheney conspired on Thursday to propagate a myth. The myth is that we lived through an eight-year period of Bush-Cheney anti-terror policy and now we have entered a very different period called the Obama-Biden anti-terror policy. As both Obama and Cheney understand, this is a completely bogus distortion of history.

I would include in the somewhat mythical nature of this debate the notion that we are currently at war with Al'Queda. The Al'Queda network that perpetrated the 9/11 attacks was destroyed many years ago.
