So more war in countries that haven't done shit, and are either decent allies or neutrals?No stoppage at the Syrian border.
Full support to the Cedar Revolution and the Egyptian elections (need a cool name for it, maybe the Nile Revolution or some such). Democratic principles fully supported in Egypt and Lebannon. Military occupation governments in Iraq and Syria that are OCCUPYING forces. ~100k troops.
Iraqi Army not disbanded. Used instead as expeditionary force to the Sudan. We keep an eye on a large group of armed and trained soldiers, they perform a needed peacekeeping task under US guidance, cashflow continues to families in Iraq.
Gardner not replaced.
