Rush Limbaugh to Visit Troops in Afghanistan

America's top talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is
planning to travel to Afghanistan next week to visit
the troops and highlight the U.S. success in
bringing democracy to Osama bin Laden's former
headquarters.

Limbaugh confirmed the visit to NewsMax Friday
morning, saying that seeing the troops are his "main
reason for going."

The top conservative talker has scheduled three
meetings with U.S. forces, with locations to be
announced later for security reasons.

Limbaugh said he had been asking the Defense and
State Departments to arrange a troop visit for two
years. He will also be meeting with Afghanistan
President Hamid Karzai.

White House advisor Mary Matalin, a former talk
radio host herself and friend of Limbaugh's, will
also be on the trip, according to Reuters.

The trip is reportedly being arranged through the
U.S. Agency for International Development.
