put on your director of national intelligence hat and talk about what jane harman is talking about, the fact that yemen is a haven for al qaeda and this could be distracting us from paying enough attention to that. >> first of all, i think we do have the bandwidth to deal with libya and these other situations in the middle east. i think yemen definitely is a a concern boat its inherent political stability and the fact there might be a political vacuum there if the president falls or the situation falls into disarray, just create more opportunities for the extremists. but i would agree with both richard and bob that egypt is probably the single most important country and i think it's vitally important that the political process there evolve in a satisfactory way. this is the largest arab

way toward leadership that may be out manned now by the muslim brotherhood and mubarak's only party. >> well, david, first, we have historically done quite a bit in reaching out to the very young people you're referring to. when i was just in egypt, i met with a number of those who had been leaders of the activities in tahrir square and that were hoping to translate that protest into political action. a lot of them had been in american government-sponsored programs. they'd been on visitation programs to the united states. and we are continuing to reach out and work with them and to try to provide support to them. it is hard moving from being in the forefront of a movement to being part of a political process. it's hard in any country. but we're going to stand with them and make sure that at least in so far as we're able torque they get the support they need. at the same time, though, we're also working with the interim government in egypt, both bob and i when we were recently in

anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks. >> days and not weeks. it was also new that is the direct involvement from bob and vice president biden involved personal direct communication between them and the leaders of other arab countries in the region specifically. trying to change that narrative that america leads western aggression against the arab world trying to force to the forefront the arab countries that on march 12th called for a no-fly zone to be enforced. after a criticized the intervention they called for this weekend, the obama and biden diplomacy appears to pay difsends and stating support for the mission, calling it an arab and nationalist duty. whether or not efforts to change the narrative are successful and whether or not trying to change that narrative can survive, what
