This one is an easy one. No we will never declare 'victory' in the Middle East and get out of there. Does anyone really think the mega-rich owners of weapons manufacturers who bribe 100% of every Republican as well as perhaps 50% of the Dems will ever have any motivation to stop wars based upon imaginary threats? Really?
Any president that satisfies the people's wills, or wishes, will be deemed the surrender president in history. War makes the president a man, that was Bush's motivation. He wanted to be a wartime president, an unelected incompetent doesn't have to do anything in wartime, just use your goon squad.
If U.S citizens want to end war in the middle east or anywhere, they must vote for a president that believes in peace, like Dennis Kucinich. The U.S. corperatocracy has always been at war somewhere in the world at all times, even when we as the public are not aware of it. If corporations cannot get Americans to finance and man their wars they will find another country that will. Some Americans are just blind and ignorant to their exploitation and others feel powerless to stop it.
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
—Dean Baker, economist and author of Plunder and Blunder, False Profits, and Taking Economics Seriously
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
—Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
—Tom Hayden, author of The Long Sixties and director, Peace and Justice Resource Center.

Of course we will.
