what US corp. makes the $50 thou garbage trucks

[donsu]

that the bushgang wants to ship to Iraqi to pick up their garbage?

is that what garbage trucks cost?

wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to buy trucks from a nearby country?

is there a monopoly on who makes garbage trucks?

why can't Iraqis deal with the garbage truck problem themselves. they didn't go "ab bra ca da bra" and the garbage disappeared before the war.

to answer my own question - it must be a bushgang member garbage truck company.

1. $50K for garbage trucks is probably the least controversial item

in the wish list for Iraq.

Why do you think that $50K is excessive? Heavy trucks are expensive.

2. they are probably buying them from Bangledesh for 10,000...

we will never know.

3. I doubt it

only serious manufacturers get into heavy equipment. 50K is not a lot of money for a garbage truck. I would hope that they are buying American made trucks and shipping them with American shippers.
