nick, do you think president saleh have any chance of going back to yemen. >> he might.pparently you saw the statement he made. he was badly burned and injured. it may be months before he can go back to yemen but his supporters are running the country. his family members are still there. he doesn't want to give up power. he is the great survivor in middle east politics. i wouldn't count out the possibility of him returning to power in a couple of months. >> he is tenacious. the sudden byes and u.s., nobody wants had him to go back but the fact that he didn't relinquish power is an indication he wants to. >> we were all together in the early days of the revolution in egypt. the caretaker government is there and many of those protesters are worried think they're too slow to bring mubarak to trial. listen to a sampling from tahrir square today. >> translator: to us it feels like mubarak is still there. he might not be the president but very little has changed. it is still like a dictatorship. there is no freedom. >> nothing changed. nothing. just the face and the name. >> o

president saleh is still undergoing medical treatment. our position from a political standpoint is the gcc initiative is the best path forward to resolve yemen possess a crisis. we have worked with them over the past several years, building up their counter- terrorism capabilities. just like in pakistan where thousands of pakistanis have fallen prey to terrorist attacks, yen and security -- yemeni to their purity -- yet many security -- yemeni security i officers have died as a result of those attacks. there are many elements in yemen right now that are opposed to al-qaeda expanding its capability as well as its control of the territory. yemen is a patchwork of various tribes and political groupings, political power centers. we are working very closely with a number of counter- terrorism elements. one thing we have insisted on is the support that we provide only be used against al-qaeda and not be used in any way shape or form -- way, shape, or form against yemenis citizens who are protesting as they have a right to peacefully. we have be

everybody is handling saleh and his future with kid gloves. it is not just our problem. problem., the king has got to be king. he keeps blaming the opposition for reform. he is allowing conservative elements of his society to weigh in and dominate and stop the reform of the country. over at the carnegie endowment, a person who was the deputy prime minister in charge of reform for three years in jordan, he came up for fall plan for reform, it was defeated. it was two or three years ago. the king has got to start being king and forced to reform. >> just on that i would be interested in whether you think the model you have, david, in an marco, where the -- in morroco, where the king keeps a finger on the defense portfolio, but has a civilian prime minister that is running the country today to think about whether that kind of model could work in jordan or could work in bahrain. >> one of the most striking things about north africa, compared to the rest of the arab world, is how developed political society is. there are a zillion parties in morocco. they have ngo's. algeria has trotsk
