You should read his book. Seriously. You're looking for his plans, etc. read "Audacity of Hope", just finished it myself.
Engaging diplomatically from a position of strength, e.g. keeping military options on the table, is definitely what he's all about, rather than just going the military route. Additionally, his position on justified use of military action is quite clear. He clearly states that going into Afghanistan was the right decision, made for the right reasons. But he also said we should have finished the job there (which I agree with) before moving on into other theatres.
