\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Missing Afghanistan soldiers, Massachusetts. “Three Afghan National Army soldiers, who were in Massachusetts for training, have gone missing after a trip to a shopping mall, authorities said. It\u2019s the second time in a week that Afghan security trainees in the United States have disappeared. The three soldiers do not appear to pose any threat to the public, the Massachusetts National Guard said.”<\/p>\n

Really? Exactly how do they know that? What are the odds that they are Muslim? What are the odds that they are Islamic? What do you mean they don\u2019t pose a threat? How is it known right off the bat that they don\u2019t pose a threat? Why\u2019d they go missing? Why did they leave? They\u2019re here on a training mission so they\u2019re at a mall? Why are they at a mall, in the first place? Why are they at a mall in a way that they can disappear? <\/line><\/p>\n

“Earlier this month, two Afghan police officers training with the DEA wandered off during a sightseeing trip to Georgetown… They decided they wanted to stay in the United States, but authorities found them and sent them home.” Oh. I see. They defected \u2019cause they want to stay in America. They want to become Americans. Well, that may be going a bit far. They want to stay. They don\u2019t want to get sent back home after training. <\/p>\n

“The three men currently missing in Massachusetts are Afghanistan National Army Soldiers,” and their names are mentioned here. But there\u2019s no way they\u2019d be a threat to America. We are assured that there is no way they could ever be a threat. Nobody should even think that. Don\u2019t even go there. Forget what you\u2019re being told about ISIS<\/a>. The best evidence is that there is no ISIS identity<\/a> or cell here in America. <\/p>\n

So don\u2019t waste your time being worried about it. <\/p>\n

“The three … arrived in the United States on September 11 for Exercise Regional Cooperation, an annual event, the guard said, and were quartered at Joint Base Cape Cod. … Troops from six nations are participating in the exercise, which runs through Wednesday and will go on as scheduled, the guard said,” despite the three that are missing. “Roughly a dozen Afghan soldiers are still participating.” What could possibly go wrong? <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, folks. <\/p>\n

You can trust the word of the authorities here. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing whatsoever to be concerned about. <\/p>\n

Let me grab a quick call before we have to break. This is Al in Baker City, Oregon. Welcome, sir. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Sick \u2019em, Snerdley, dittos, Rush!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Glad to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. I was watching CBS News this morning, and they were showing copies of the… There\u2019s two captains and a major from the Afghan army, and they were showing pictures of their entry visa cards, so you would know what they look like. They got mustaches. But, anyway —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019ll help find \u2019em.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m glad you told me that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And down to the lower right of the pictures it says, “Fingerprints,” and then it\u2019s typed in below there, “waved.” So either Foggy Bottom or Homeland Security or somebody has decided, “Hey, no problem!” Of course we\u2019ll find a lot of guys with mustaches, but we won\u2019t be able to prove it because we don\u2019t have on their fingerprints.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, see, that just goes to prove, there\u2019s nothing to worry about. We trusted \u2019em so much we didn\u2019t need their fingerprints, \u2019cause we know for a fact that they\u2019re not gonna do anything. That\u2019s all that means.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Before I got, Rush, I\u2019d like to thank you very much. I bumped into you on the radio over in Marin County back in the nineties during the buildup for the first Gulf War. My son — actually two sons, a daughter, and my wife were all involved over there one way or another, and I stayed home to feed the dog, and you\u2019re the guy that kept me alive. Thank you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Me and the dogs.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yep!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Great company. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that, Al. That was a magical time. That\u2019s back when we were winning wars, like in two days, three days. Yeah, we had our parodies. Gulf War I, the cast of a miniseries that we put together. Speaking of Homeland Security, have you seen all the people leaving? I mean, people literally employees, Homeland, leaving.<\/p>\n

Morale, apparently, is horrible. <\/p>\n

But no reason to worry, folks. None, none at all. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the three Afghan soldiers? Nothing to worry about, folks. The governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick said today that the three Afghanistan army officers didn\u2019t appear to pose a threat to the public at all. They found \u2019em at Niagara Falls, and Governor Patrick said that they may, in fact, “be trying to defect.” Defect where? If you\u2019re…? Why would you leave Cape Cod and go to Niagara Falls, if you wanted to defect? (interruption) <\/p>\n

Yeah, it\u2019s the Canadian border. If you want to defect to Canada, maybe, you go to Niagara Falls, but if you defect to United States… (interruption) Is that what he means, defect to Canada? Anyway, somehow they knew enough to get to Niagara Falls, or maybe they didn\u2019t know where they were going. They\u2019d just come from a place there\u2019s not much water, and they heard Niagara Falls has a lot, and they wanted to see it.<\/p>\n

That could be it. For people that live in a desert, water is a big deal. Maybe they\u2019re just tourists, enjoying tourism. Well, they were at the mall. They might have seen travel poster for Niagara Falls and said, “Hey, that\u2019s really cool. You know, we don\u2019t see that in Afghanistan. Normally we got blood that looks like in Afghanistan. We don\u2019t have water that looks like that.” But the governor says there\u2019s nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t sweat it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, I am told that the three army soldiers… My crack research staff coming through here. (Ahem.) I\u2019m told the three army soldiers did indeed want to defect to Canada, that that\u2019s why they went to Niagara Falls. My instincts were again right on the money. They wanted out of Massachusetts. (laughing) Because it was the closest place they could get to out of Massachusetts. <\/p>\n

They were trying to defect from Massachusetts. They wanted nothing to do with Cape Cod. Do you realize what\u2019s on Cape Cod? There isn\u2019t anybody with less than $500 million that lives there. They wanted out of there. They wanted… (laughing) Martha\u2019s Vineyard, Cape Cod, it\u2019s all the same. (interruption) The Hamptons, it\u2019s all the same. They said, “This isn\u2019t for us.” (interruption) From Massachusetts. The Vietnam War was the last time anybody… (laughing) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
