Last night if you miss this the senate voted to keep the terror suspects at -- right where they are they will not come here.

If the senate has its way the measure would block the transfer of detainees.

Two US soil comes a day after report identify facilities.

In the US that are believed to be capable of housing there.

Senators -- that measure 54 to 41 a retired four star general Jack -- former vice chief of staff of the army.

And -- Fox News military analyst general good morning nice to see you again.

Morning bill -- listening gitmo does not close even in the second term or where the president come -- Well I think there's going to be some pressure off again to try to close -- which doesn't like a lot of sense to me and me we have enemy combatant isn't in there as a result of a war I mean that the I think the frustration is the -- gone on for a long time.

And therefore we should do something about these detainees -- little -- in the choice for the war going on a long time the al-Qaeda and its affiliates of making that choice they just burn down our consulate.

And killed our ambassador and and forced the closure of the CIA base so -- -- trucked in a war not us.

But I think the other issue is it is this somehow is it's unfair.

-- what is to be gained by taking.

The enemy combatant is in Guantanamo and putting them with prisoners in the military or the federal system.

Core criminals the people at Guantanamo Bay on not for animals that enemy combatants there as a result of a war.

Well senator Feinstein argues that you have a 180.

Terrorists now being housed in maximum security prisons here in the US.

But but your point is well taken if you were to apprehend those responsible killing our ambassador in -- and three others or just take -- is in Guantanamo is still the best option.

That absolutely is it provides us the isolation listen.

All the review bodies that have looked at Guantanamo for years and -- I have to have believe this is a highly.

Regarded well run facility that protects the individual rights of the people there actually -- The truth be known anybody that's been there are detainees are treated far better there than anybody in -- federal military prisons systems in the United States -- Yet the democratic controlled senate that voted the Kelly -- -- the Republican from New Hampshire already show you these images from central Cairo it is almost nightfall.

We mentioned this a few moments ago and out when you look at the thousands who have gathered -- to rear square general.

And you think about the stories that have been written throughout the week about what the new president Mohamed Morsi has done a member of the Islamic brotherhood.

Is Egypt the next Iran that the United States now has to fear.

Well it could be Morsi frankly is consolidating power Ernie squeeze -- -- -- minority in -- minorities other Christians.

The liberals in the cyclist many of whom are in -- square.

Right now -- constituent assembly which is right in this constitution you referred to early.

The the liberals on this cyclists on the Christians have long left the dissipated and that because.

They would -- -- frozen out of the process so it it's it's questionable the value of this document weather's going to accommodate.

Some of the rights and social political justices that the people and that's where -- one -- Many people consider a more -- -- moving along that line I mean do you see yourself where do you see him holding back from that.

Well I think he's probably gonna pull back a little bit I'd like to believe that the administration the State Department is working so late you know.

All the media and talking to him diplomatically about the fact that these overreached and and hopefully he pulls back he does need the United States.

Not in on Michael Ron who did not need us in 1980 and actually declared us -- are the number one strategic enemy.

The fact of the matter is.

Morsi needs our financial -- both militarily and economically and he wants the relationship with the United States will see how that impacts on that's a good point thank you Jennifer American Dad! Jacqui thank you have we have a terrific weekend to.
