He says that the war in Iraq is creating more terrorists, as evidence he cites the 90 suicide bombings in Iraq during May. He then claims that some of these suicide bombers will soon be detonating themselves in the US.
It is not unreasonable to expect that other young men will soon be destroying themselves in this country as they blow up Americans in shopping malls and restaurants and hospitals and churches. The chickens of the criminal war in Iraq will come home to roost. No matter that the majority of Americans disapprove of the war. It is too late for that now.Maybe he's right and maybe he's not, but I'm 100% certain that it's easier for a potential suicide bomber from Saudi Arabia to enter Iraq via Syria than it is for him to get to the United States.
What's truly wacky, however, is that Fr. Greeley seems to be ignoring the somewhat inconvenient fact that there was a fairly serious terrorist incident in the United States before the war in Iraq. This terrorist attack was carried out during the Bush Administration, but it was planned mostly during the Clinton Administration despite "President Clinton's agonizing reluctance to engage in military action overseas".
