The US spent $60 billion rebuilding Iraq after the 2003 war. There is virtually nothing to show for the money. Most of the money seems to have been stolen by US defense contractors.

Someone has to use this money, right? Does it go into black projects or somewhere else?

A politician can become a "consultant" to a defense contractor, and that's how they launder bribes right to the politician. Or the politician will just use a "charity" that the money will be given to. See Cl.inton Foundation.
