(Reuters) - To his U.S., British and Gulf mediators and benefactors, Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh says he is ready for a peaceful exit from power.
To his close circle of aides he sneers at a Western-backed agreement to end his 33-year reign.
On the ground, he is engaged in a war with the country's most powerful tribe. And those of us who have met him in the past week are left with the clear impression he has no plans to step down, or to relinquish power willingly.
