Big Mexican Women

[jah the baptist]

So some Afghan soldiers studying English at an Air Force Base in Texas and a \"loose network\" of possibly illegal and maybe overweight Mexican women walk into a bar. Stop me if you\'ve heard this one.

Last month, reports surfaced that a number of Afghan soldiers studying at the Defense Language Institute at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas had been going AWOL. A \"Be on the Lookout\" bulletin was posted for 17 of them, and the base said they had left the base over the course of 18 months. Afghan soldiers on the loose in the U.S.? Fox News, of course, latched onto the story.

Fox went on to report that seven of the original AWOL Afghans had been accounted for -- then upped the number of Afghans that had gone missing over the years to 46. But Fox News\' latest scoop puts quite a, um, twist on the story.
