McCain says what he hopes to acheive by the end of his first term should he be elected.
The Arizona senator said he believes the United States will have a smaller military presence in Iraq that will not play a direct combat role, and he predicts that al Qaeda in Iraq will be defeated.
......................................
Witnessing "a reluctant Russia and China" cooperating in "pressuring Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions, and North Korea to discontinue its own," because of "concerted action by the great democracies of the world."
Significantly increasing the size of the Army and Marine Corps, which will be "better equipped and trained to defend us."
The application of "stiff diplomatic and economic pressure" by the United States -- acting in concert with a newly formed League of Democracies -- to cause Sudan to agree to a multinational peacekeeping force, with NATO countries providing logistical and air support, to stop the genocide in Darfur.
Several years of robust economic growth for the United States, with Americans again having confidence in their economic future.
Millions of taxpayers filing under a flat tax and saving billions in the cost of preparing their returns.
The world food crisis ending, low inflation, and a "much improved" quality of life "not only in our country, but in some of the most impoverished countries around the world."
More accessible health care for Americans and an easing on the pressure on Medicare due to the reduction in the growth of health care costs.
A United States well on its way to "independence from foreign sources of oil."
The confirmation of "scores of judges" to the federal district and appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
A secure southern border for the United States after "tremendous improvements to border security infrastructure and increases in the border patrol, and vigorous prosecution of companies that employ illegal aliens."
