This trinity, which has controlled American news and politics for the past forty years, had already lost much of the power it possessed in its heyday. In the Vietnam years, Lyndon Johnson needed only three television sets in the Oval Office to follow the news as his voters were getting it from the TV networks. With one set tuned each to CBS, NBC, and ABC, he could learn all he had to about what America was watching, what we thought, and what we knew. But now Americans are no longer content to wait until six-thirty or seven in the evening for their majesties Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, and Peter Jennings to appear and dispense their highly edited and profoundly biased summaries of the day's developments.
And the ground combat force is only between 75,000 and 100,000. But the Pentagon had a hedge against the doomsayers. It had taken the unprecedented step of inviting television news correspondents to "embed" with coalition forces, sitting right next to the troops as they sliced their way forward. Their reports, often delivered via grainy new videophone technology, held Americans entranced as we watched the war to free Iraq ourselves, right before our eyes. It was like watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.

In the interim, Bush had presented his case forcefully in front of the United Nations and the world.
