born cleric who is now living in yemen it's families. and so what we're seeing now with the chaos that is spreading throughout the capital of yemen is in part a failed u.s. policy that was obsessive we model focused on counterterrorism and diplomacy nothing to alleviate the suffering of the yemeni people instead of worrying in. millions upon millions of dollars and sensitive training to gruel and murderous forces controlled by yemen's president so you know ali abdullah saleh is is famous for a number of things in yemen not the least of which is his ability to get around the resigning once he's done not resigning so you know the u.s. response is it's almost laughable if it wasn't so deadly right now and what's your sense of whether the focus is only going to intensify on counterterrorism efforts in yemen in light of the fact that not gotten was killed and now they're sort of

yemen is the arab speaking environment. to be effective you need air bag. what the jordanians have been the effort our skills to help interpret and theres. were other development efforts, the duchess doing significant development work and we were not alone in anys sense and coal was greater than the sum of its parts and an effort to the united states is less acceptable than those that were more broadly based not only in the european countries that the instances of both countries. >> thank you. said direct criticisms have been made a bid ministrations response as being supportive of democracy to be tolerated not countries like bahrain and they appear to be more on stability how you address that equation and yemen? >> i think i a gray we don't have the one-size-fits-all policy. anyone that is familiar with the middle east knows these countries have different dynamics so i am okay with a country by country approach. but in yemen we are running a big risk because basically that given the forces at play it is a bad direction for us and good for al qaeda. there i

i spent a lot of time in yemen the past year. whenever there are pro saleh rallies, there are always rumors that these people are being bussed in or paid. when you go to the rallies, you speak to them, see the people in tens of thousands. they will say they're there of their owe volition. there always has been an implication that these people are being bussed in, being paid. saleh has a very savvy organization. there are tribes that still support him and people that still support him. but his support has been deteriorating and the fact that this tribe has gone from his camp, even those he's a member of this tribe, the fact that they've turned their back on him, they're fighting him now is a big development to show you how the mood has soured. zain? >>> let's take a look at what up ins around the world are saying about this. the uk's guardian, president refuses to go as gun fights raise fears of war. it goes on to say the conflict appears to be the climax of long souring relations between the president and the ahmar clan, which ar
