What's going on with Iraq's money?

Given the never-ending controversy over Iraq, wouldn't it at least make sense to be transparent about the figures?

"Nearly all of the $20bn in the DFI [Development Fund for Iraq] was spent or allocated by June 28 - but only 2% of the $18.4bn promised by the US for reconstruction was actually spent. According to White House figures, for example, and despite all the rhetoric about building a new Iraq, not a cent of America's own money had been spent on construction, healthcare, sanitation and water projects as of last month."
