Video: George W Bush: "Arab Americans are racially profiled... we need to do something about that"
Youtube ^ | 10/11/2000 | CNN Presidential Debate

11 Months before September 11:

Secondly, there is other forms of racial profiling that goes on in America. Arab-Americans are racially profiled in what is called secret evidence. People are stopped, and we have to do something about that. My friend, Senator Spencer Abraham of Michigan, is pushing a law to make sure that Arab-Americans are treated with respect. So racial profiling isn’t just an issue at local police forces. It’s an issue throughout our society. And as we become a diverse society, we’re going to have to deal with it more and more. I believe, though — I believe, as sure as I’m sitting here, that most Americans really care. They’re tolerant people. They’re good, tolerant people. It’s the very few that create most of the crises, and we just have to find them and deal with them.

“The FBI put out a warning that Middle Eastern men were harassing families of soldiers in Cheyenne. How about stopping the profiling of Christians and Soldiers by the Middle Eastern Barbarians?”

Time to start shooting.

Sometimes I do not bother with niceties like reading an article before I comment on it. After all, life is short. :)

With respect to his comment, he must have been aware there was a 1st Trade Center bombing. He was aware of the Muslim problem that existed worldwide even then.

History is not going to treat W very well. Hate to say it, but he has earned most of the negatives.
