Tomorrow morning he could announce that we are ceasing action in libya and fully pulling out of Afghanistan and Iraq and it would still cost billions of dollars. Moving all those people ins't cheap. Yes, it would eventually be cheaper than keeping them there another 5 years, but he is doing what he said he would. The draw down in Iraq is all but done and he has a plan to get us out of Afghanistan.
None of these things change what is happening with the debt ceiling. Again, he could end all the wars tomorrow and we would still need to raise the debt ceiling.
If nobody blinks and we default Obama is trying to put himself in a position where he can step aside and let the whole shit storm land in the republicans laps.
