I'm not saying it's exactly true but the general impression of Bush is that he couldn't find Canada on a map of North America prior to 9/11, never mind Iraq on a world map, not to mention alienating his allies with his ineptness. So yeah he concentrated on internal affairs.
If he wan't furthering an agenda why did he lie or in better circles misrepresent the facts when addressing the American public and the Senate about the involvment of Iraq in 9/11 and the threat it posed to the USA. I take it he's not a compulsive liar so yeah, he had an agenda.
