Wait, so because he doesn't think companies and countries who chose not to support the war should profit from the rebuilding that's showing contempt? It seems it's showing loyalty to those who did more than it's showing contempt for those that didn't. Do you think it would have been fair to those who risked political ouster and dead troops (Australia, Spain, Britain, etc) if we let France and Germany, who exhibited disgusting levels of greed in defending their contracts with Hussein, have an equal priority in the rebuilding of Iraq?
Additionally, speaking against those who speak against you isn't necessarily showing contempt for them but disagreeing with them. Was McCain showing contempt for Bush when opposing him? No, that's just the way politics are played. You pick your sides and if possible work towards the middle when you need to.
