"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

"Endless war" is unlikely. Gaddaffi's forces are finite and his people hate him. He has lost control of Misurata and the border regions close to Tripoli. Every time his forces leave cover to travel to head towards a target or get supplies, they are being attacked from the air or from the opposition on the ground. His allies have abandoned him, his ministers and diplomats have defect and many in the military are defecting every day. Not to mention that the US hasn't played a huge role in this conflict and has largely left Leadership to NATO and the European countries.
