> Never before has a nation dominated the conventional battlefield the
> way the United States has during the past two years in Afghanistan
> and Iraq. But with U.S. troops now embroiled in unconventional
> warfare against insurgents in Iraq, skeptics are saying that
> America's high-tech advantage is no longer decisive. Yet Pentagon
> planners are placing a multibillion-dollar bet that the critics are
> wrong. In an exclusive collaboration with New York Times
> Television, NOVA investigates the impact of advanced technology on
> President Bush's war-fighting strategy. With fresh analysis of key
> events in the Iraq conflict, NOVA and Times Television probe the
> rapidly evolving science of war.
