Yeah - that's what they're saying but only if they get the F1 entry. I'd have thought that if the bucks are there (which they appear to be) then it would make sense to get going with the F3/F2 straight away - having it all running with the existing FE team under one roof. That would start to build a base of young drivers from the US, getting closer to readiness for F1.
Michael alludes to US drivers supposedly not getting the same treatment in F3 & F2 as euro drivers (personally think that he's talking rubbish on that score) and if he REALLY believes that, then what better way to "fix" that by having Andretti teams in F3 / F2 ASAP and get some US drivers used to the european tracks and the depth of competition from all around the world that comes and races in Europe?
