MISRATA, Libya (AFP) – Time is running out for Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi, NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said, even as the strongman's forces laying siege to Misrata intensified their assault on the lifeline port.

"The game is over for Kadhafi. He should realise sooner rather than later that there's no future for him or his regime," the NATO secretary-general told CNN's "State of the Union" programme late Sunday.

"We have stopped Kadhafi in his tracks. His time is running out. He's more and more isolated," Rasmussen said.

Given the "wind of change" sweeping across North Africa and the Middle East, the death of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and the growing pressure on the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Danish former prime minister said he was "very optimistic" that Kadhafi would ultimately lose his decades-old grip on power.

1. So, we're all agreed then?

Kadhafi is a very bad person. We can send out paid killers to shoot him in the head.

Wow, things happen so much quicker and easier when you don't go through all those messy constitutional and treaty obligations. Who's next on the hit parade? I don't know anyone who likes Carrot Top very much.
