“Is he stupid or does he have an agenda?”

Neither. He’s just a small time piker. If he has an agenda here its to get some rag head off his back. If you want to see a real commitment to TROP, well Bush gave $400,000,000.00 for the advance of Mohamedanism in Palestine and another $400,000,000.00 to the jihadis in Kosovo.
