I'm sorry about breaking the politeness policy in the above post.
Interesting tidbit: Dov Zakheim was the Pentagon's money manager when the $2.3 trillion couldn't be accounted for (due to their procedural inefficiencies as Mick pointed out). He was also a member of PNAC which openly stated in their document (September 2000): "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing eventββlike a new Pearl Harbor." Furthermore, he was also an executive at a defense contractor specializing in remote controlled airplane systems, a subsidiary of which investigated 93' WTC bombing and he also worked for Booz Allen.
System Planning Corporation: remote controlled airplane systems.
Their subsidiary Tridata Corp investigated the '93 bombing, and had access to the blueprints.

Above link has biographical info, and information about SPC's remote control technology.
To give Mick a break... though Pentagon's auditors admit they can't account for 25% of what they spend (source), 25% of Pentagon expenditure, even over the entire 1990's, is still less than 2.3 trillion. In 2000 the official Department of Defense budget was approx 300 billion.
