are a seasoned diplomat and politician. do you see gadhafi doing that? is there a way of fulfilling mission as long as gadhafi remains in power? >> yeah, i mean, the game is over for gadhafi. he should realize sooner rather than later that there's no future for him or his regime. the future belongs to the libyan people, and it's for the libyan people to decide the future of the country. we are there to protect civilians against any attack according to the u.n. security council mandate, and we will stay as long as necessary to fulfill that mandate. >> and do you see a scenario under which gadhafi remains in power and nato can call it a success? >> frankly speaking, i think it's hard to imagine that the attacks, the outrageous and systematic attacks against the libyan people will stop as long
