When they refer to countries who didn't support the US, I took it to mean countries that denounced publicly - or refused to support publicly - the war itself in Iraq.

The countries who are NOT on the list of those disallowed from contracts have had the blood of their young men and women spilled on that soil. Just one life is worth a whole lot more than $300 million. Period.

And don't forget that there are almost NO restrictions on subcontracting, so it isn't like the countries who invested only money will get absolutely no return. It might just take a bit longer to make the money back. No matter how long we wait, the lives of those soldiers can't be regained.
