A silly question of law

While I realize I am probably off base with my conclusion here, hear out my logic. I'm going to try to put together a simple Aristotelian syllogism:

1) All U.S. felonies have a parallel misdemeanor or felonious "attempted" crime (e.g. attempted murder, attempted kidnapping, etc.)

2) Assault is the crime of intentionally causing apprehension of harm, physical, mental, etc.

3) Therefore, attempted assault is the crime of trying to scare someone and failing :-)

Seems like attempted assault would make a great title for a dumb gangster movie.
