US congressman Donald Payne flew into Mogadishu on Monday flanked by six bodyguards on the first visit to the Somali capital by a senior American politician for years, witnesses said.

Now is not a good time to send in congressmen to talk about aid and relief.
just air drop a million pamplets with illustrations of dead pirates hanging on chains.

And these people are in charge of our government! Well, 'more. . .or less'. Do wonder how Obama will receive this episode. (Poll first, no doubt. . .)

So much for, “Can’t we just get along?”
To: Eye of Unk
Are you “sure” it’s not time to send in the Congressman?
I’d pay for Harry Reid’s trip. :)

Reminds me of Congressman Leo Ryan going into Jonestown. The first (I think only) Congressman killed in the line of duty.

Well more fiat money well spent.

Now why is he acting afraid of these moderate pirates?
To: ConservativeMan55
Just wait and see, Obama will have a presser to start talks with Islamic leaders in Somalia, or better yet he flies to Kenya. I am seeing this as a devils advocate here, Obama thinks his Muslim faith and status of being POTUS gives him international messianic privileges.

I’m not sure there IS a Somali capitol, only the only city anybody has ever heard of.
