NEWSFLASH: Al-Qaeda wants to attack us

George 'Forrest Gump with a trust fund' Bush announced yesterday that Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda want to attack targets here in the U.S.

Although the news is from 2005 and the person who was suppose to direct the attacks, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, is dead, Bush thought that since he was on his ranch he'd corral some sheep.

WASHINGTON - President Bush, trying to defend his war strategy, declassified intelligence 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.

The information mirrored a classified bulletin from the Homeland Security Department in March 2005, reporting that bin Laden had enlisted Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, his senior operative in Iraq, to plan potential strikes in the U.S.
