With Muammar Gaddafi dead, some American lawmakers are already talking of reducing the Western military presence in Libya. In a Capitol press conference Thursday, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said he would like to see American involvement in Libya reduced “as swiftly as is responsible.”

“It would be my hope that we would be able to transition out of a NATO — predominantly military — mission as quickly as possible,” said Coons, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
