Based on what Peck said above I definitely find it believable that he might have said the chickens coming home to roost line. Interesting.

Edward Peck speaking with who else but Sean Hannity explained that the U.S. position in Iraq in many ways precipitated disaffect against the United States. Below is a portion of the transcript I found. PECK: ... But let me ask you a couple of questions first, Sean. HANNITY: No, no, no. I'm the host. Answer my question. PECK: Well, can I suggest -- HANNITY: If he would use chemical weapons against his own people, why wouldn't he use -- PECK: When did he do that? HANNITY: ... nuclear weapons against the rest of the world? PECK: When did he use the chemical weapons? HANNITY: Against the Kurds in the North. PECK: Nineteen -- 1988. And that was before he became a bad guy. Our position was that that wasn't a bad thing. HANNITY: Has he changed? PECK: Yes. HANNITY: When we -- when his own former weapons -- nuclear weapons leader is here in this studio telling us... PECK: I don't... (CROSSTALK) HANNITY: ... he's trying to get nuclear capability? PECK: I'm sure -- let me put your finger on the key issue here. Our president said in his state of the union speech in talking about Iraq the keyword, the "hostility," the hostility of Iraq. Now I've got to ask you this. Who's being hostile to whom? We bomb the country whenever we feel like it. We've been doing that for 11 years. There are people who do not like you to do that. i looked at the transcripts on lexis-nexis and as far as i can tell, rev. wright only captured the sentiments of the former ambassador, and not an actual quote.

PECK: When did he do that?

HANNITY: … nuclear weapons against the rest of the world?

PECK: When did he use the chemical weapons?

HANNITY: Against the Kurds in the North.

PECK: Nineteen — 1988. And that was before he became a bad guy. Our position was that that wasn’t a bad thing.

HANNITY: Has he changed?

PECK: Yes.

HANNITY: When we — when his own former weapons — nuclear weapons leader is here in this studio telling us…

PECK: I don’t…

(CROSSTALK)

HANNITY: … he’s trying to get nuclear capability?

PECK: I’m sure — let me put your finger on the key issue here. Our president said in his state of the union speech in talking about Iraq the keyword, the “hostility,” the hostility of Iraq.
