Somali insurgents fire mortars toward U.S. Congressman Donald Payne during a visit to the Somali capital, Reuters reported.

"One mortar landed at the airport when Payne's plane was due to fly and five others after he left and no one was hurt," Abukar Hassan, a police officer at Mogadishu airport, told Reuters.

Time to spray a little diesel fuel on the ant nest.

How darn hard is it to one.....tell congress to stay home and two remove these thugs from the face of the earth?

[theDentist]

DEMOCRAT U.S. Congressman Donald Payne.....

I guess them pirates aren't the "touchy-feely huggable kumbaya-singing" type.

[Ann Archy]

A conservative is just a LIBERAL who has been MUGGED!

MAYBE, Donald will wake up his fellow Black Caucus members that MUSLIMS are not exactly nice people.

[edzo4]

Insurgents my @ss, the MSM still can’t call them terrorists.

This was a Hillary-in-Baghdad “attack.”
Congressman Payne (D-NJ) was nowhere near this mortar, which was fired toward the airport when he was not there. He will no doubt use this non-threatening incident in his next campaign commercial. So much for Democrat “warriors.”

[Jonny foreigner]

sorry but this really doesn´t suprise me.
you most be an idiot or have at least some suicide tendencies if you voluntary enter Somalia without a division of battle tanks.

[CodeToad]

WHy is he there?

[pabianice]

Hey, Ron! How's that Hope and Change going for you?

FoxNews:

Congressman’s is in the air; he’s heading HOME.

At least 5 more mortar rounds were fired into the airport area after the Congressman’s plane departed.

His spokesperson says his plane was fired on. Congressman has 6 bodyguards with him.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

“Somali insurgents fire mortars toward U.S. Congressman Donald Payne...” and missed.

They need more practice.

[MattMa]

Why does it appear that all members of the Democrat party in the legislative branch seem to suffer from delusions of grandeur? Are they all now employees of the State Department or Defense Department?

[edzo4]

Why is he there?

either recruiting for Acorn or he was right next door in Kenya destroying all evidence of Obamas birth their.

[bolobaby]

“WHy is he there?”

That is the most important question. Foreign relations is not the responsibility of Congress. You guys ratify treaties - other than that, STAY IN YOUR SEAT.

[Mobties]

“Don’t tase me, Bro!”

LOL

This scumbag Payne openly supports terrorists on the floor of Congress. He deserves whatever he gets in Africa:

List of killed civilians U.S. Congressman Donald Payne mocked

October 09, 2007 01:16 PM

I received a forwarded massE-mail today about the disgraceful work of Congressman Donald Payne of New Jersey. Donald Payne is famous for attempting to sanction Ethiopia using a bill called HR 2003 and he wants America to support Eritrea.

Meanwhile, in contrast, the American government (with big U.S. state department role) is trying to sanction Eritrea. The later makes more sense since Ethiopia recently had its first multiparty elections in its history, while Eritrea remains locked up without elections and without independent media.  

 

 

Anyhow, this Eritrea vs. Ethiopia war in Congress is heating up. Along with Donald Payne, his HR2003 colleage Rep. Rohrabacher has apparently been the recipient of thousands of lobbyist dollars from anti-Ethiopia ONLF rebel financers and from the Eritrean government.

 

 

The inside stories are endless with all sides accusing each other but what is the most shocking is that Donald Payne actually tried to defend the ONLF separatist militants by saying that the ONLF terrorist attacks this year killed Ethiopian security forces. What a shame. All humans are worth equal but it is deplorable that Donald Payne actually tried to hide the civilians killed by the ONLF. Here is one of the lists of civilians who got massacred by the ONLF terrorist organization in just the last six months. The list is also posted on U.S. Foreign affairs committee website.

Donald Payne said he wants a complete change of American policy to support Eritrea and to condemn Ethiopia. American government is considering to label Eritrea a “state sponsor of Terorism” for arming the insurgency in Mogadishu. But Donald Payne has been organizing files to angelize the insurgency and to smear Ethiopian and Somali governments as destabilizing force in the region. Basically, Donald Payne thinks the killing of civilians by ONLF is fine and the rise of extremism in Mogadishu is acceptable. Well, okay, let us say it is fine to change current pro-Ethiopia American policy (against all common sense) just so that Donald Payne will feel joyful. But why would Donald Payne, a congressman, try to hide the killing of so many civilians by the ONLF terrorist organization? Donald Payne represents the crime-infested Newark city in New Jersey, so has the endless crimes, uncontrollable gang violence, death and suffering of Newark  citizens made him immune to suffering of civilians?
