Terror Alert! Terror Alert! Terror Alert! Terror Alert! Terror Alert! Terror Alert!

Report: Attacks ordered outside Iraq

By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 1 minute ago

WASHINGTON - President Bush, trying to defend his war strategy, declassified intelligence on Tuesday asserting that Osama bin Laden ordered a top lieutenant in early 2005 to form a terrorist cell that would conduct attacks outside Iraq — and that the United States should be the top target.

Frances Fragos Townsend, the White House homeland security adviser, said the intelligence bolsters the Bush administration's contention that al-Qaida wants to use Iraq as a staging area to launch terrorist attacks around the world, including the United States.

1. So, Bin Laden (who's not in Iraq) ordered attacks by a cell (that's not in Iraq)
on targets (that aren't in Iraq). So, we have to send soldiers (to Iraq) to stop the attack (outside Iraq) by terrorists (outside Iraq) ordered by their commander(who isn't in Iraq).

DO I have that right?
