Not true. Duncan Hunter has been raging about this dynamic for 12 months, in every public appearance he makes. Duncans focus is on China, and their takeover of banking institutions with profits made on the backs of American consumers and off shore migrant US companies through their MFN status. He wants to end it, and he wants to drill in ANWAR.
Its just that you have not heard Duncan. Start listening to what he is saying. He saw this coming years ago, and it is one of the reasons he is running for the presidential nomination of the Republican party.
No other candidate has a handle on this.
They are all to busy kissing Arab and Chinese feet.
Duncan Hunter has spoken of Dubai too.

Dubai...Ally of the USA? Duncan Hunter ‘gets it’!

There are also differences with the U.S. over Iran, which is one of Dubai’s closest neighbor, largest trading partners, and one of its biggest investors. Any hostilities in the Persian Gulf could present the sheikh with some difficult choices. But for the time being, business is still booming.”[snip]
During a recent debate the subject of Dubai operating US ports as requested by the Bush Administration was presented. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Arizona Sen. John McCain, former Tennesssee Sen. Fred Thompson, and Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback agreed with the deal, but no so for but California Rep. Duncan Hunter and Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo.
If you recall, Duncan Hunter is the man who stood against the port takeover by the Dubai Sheikh. Hunter said he does not believe the company should have been allowed the large stake in the exchange.
“Because I don’t trust them,” he said.
And with good reason, Mr. Hunter! Perhaps Duncan Hunter understands more about our ‘friends’ than most of us realize.
Congressman Duncan Hunter: “No, because I don’t trust them. And I don’t trust them because a few years ago Dubai, while an American Customs agent was trying to stop them, set for delivery a set of nuclear triggers to an anonymous recipient in Islamabad, probably for the A.Q. Khan network. That went directly against American interests. So I would not do that.”
