Clooney is suggesting that the US has provided radical Muslims with adequate "ammunition" to kill Americans for the next century, regardless of whether Guantanamo exists. This implies that the US has produced a situation in which extreme Muslims have actually been given a factor to hate and attack Americans, which this situation will not be resolved by closing Guantanamo.
