"THE PENTAGON CAN'T ACCOUNT FOR 95% OF THE 9 BILLION DOLLARS THEY SPENT ON IRAQI RECONSTRUCTION. "

It's because USAID accepts bids for projects from both U.S. and Iraqi companies. Most of the Iraqi companies are shell companies designed to under-cut bids for projects and then run away with the money. They don't actually perform the contract.
