now the yemeni government is in exile, if you will down in aidan and it's really a very confusing and but i think the administration made the right call to pull out our people given the absolute chaos that's now in that country. >> look what's going on there with is troubling on so many levels. it's what you touched on. which is that this yemen was seen as a great partner in counterterrorism activities with the use v u.s. the president called it a success story. to see it turned into this cauldron what should the u.s. do? >> well if i knew i'd be president, alisyn. will is no clear answer. i think what we have to do is observe, try to get as much information and intelligence as we can. the other piece not to make it more difficult is that the houthi s are aligned with iran, we have been focused on iran's nuclear threat they now have their tent tals into baghdad, damascus now sanaa and yemen. this is another aspect of this that makes it troubling. i don't think there is an active role for the u.s. other than intelligence and trying to see where the dust is going to settle and see if we

large, coordinated air strike and the rebels have given no indication of wanting to block the gulf of aidan of oil flows. >> therein lies, robert the risk. also, the rebels are allegedly being backed by iran which is a major oil producer around the world. and would like to by the way, sell more oil around the world by sort of reaching out with an olive branch to united states. what's iran's role in this? do you believe that ultimately iran will be pumping and selling more oil one year from today than it is right now? >> well, i think everybody is going to be pumping a little more oil than won't one year from now than today, but the iranians have no interest in this turning into a larger armed conflict. they do back the rebels but this is the traditional sunni versus shia conflict that we see across the middle east. of course there's also a third character in yemen, and that's al qaeda. al qaeda and the arabian peninsula that is not alive to either force, either to the saudi, u.s. sunni, president hadi forces or to the houthi iran forces either. >> yeah. just to complicate the matter further
