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 Defense and State departments to arrange a troop visit for two years. He will also be meeting with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai.

White House adviser 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.
