McCain peers into the future and sees:
# The Iraq War ending by 2013.
# Russia and China cooperating in "pressuring Iran to abandon its
nuclear ambitions, and North Korea to discontinue its own."
# 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 sup****t, to stop
the genocide in Darfur.
# Several years of robust economic growth.
# Taxpayers filing under a flat tax.
# 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 of pressure on
Medicare because of lower health care costs.
# A United States well on its way to "independence from foreign sources
of oil."
# A Social Security system that is solvent, does not reduce benefits for
those nearing retirement and includes individual retirement accounts
# 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."
