Iraq has been in political limbo since an inconclusive March 7 election as Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish political factions have failed to agree on a new government in five months since the vote. "I think we'll see some first steps toward forming a government by 1 September," U.S. General Ray Odierno told ABC's "This Week" program without elaborating on what those steps might be. Odierno also said he was confident that Iraqi forces, helped by 50,000 U.S. troops that will remain in Iraq after Sept. 1, can overcome attacks by people trying to take advantage of the political stalemate. U.S. troop levels in the drawdown of forces are not linked to the formation of an Iraqi government, Odierno said. "Our numbers are linked to the capacity that the Iraqis -- of the Iraqi security forces being able to sustain stability -- and I think they are moving toward that capacity," he said. The United States currently has just under 65,000 troops in Iraq. It had close to 150,000 at the height of the conflict.

The 50,000 U.S. troops that will stay in Iraq after Sept. 1 will represent a "significant presence" to help the Iraqi military against militant forces, including al Qaeda in Iraq, whose capabilities have been worn down by the allies, he said. "Their ability to surge and do this over a sustained period of time is limited, and that's due to a lot of the work of the Iraqi security forces, working with us to conduct these operations," Odierno said.

PR/2010/5 29 April 2010 PRESS RELEASE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF UNITED NATIONS COMPENSATION COMMISSION CONCLUDES ITS SIXTY-NINTH SESSION AND PAYS OUT US$590 MILLION The Governing Council of the United Nations Compensation Commission, under the Presidency of Ambassador Christian Strohal (Austria), has today concluded its sixty-ninth session. At this session, the Council elected Brazil as one of the Vice-Presidents of the Governing Council. Brazil replaces Costa Rica which held vice-presidency for the period 2008-2009. Japan currently holds the other vice-presidency. Representatives of Kuwait and Iraq addressed the fifteen-member Governing Council at its opening plenary meeting. At the session, the Council considered a report from the Executive Head of the UNCC Secretariat on the activities of the Commission since the last session; and a report on distribution by Governments and international organisations of payments to successful claimants, the transparency of the distribution process, and the return of undistributed funds. The Council also heard a briefing from the Secretariat on the progress made to date by participating Governments under the Follow-up Programme for Environmental Awards as established by decision 258 (2005). The Programme was established to monitor the implementation of approximately $4.3 billion of environmental remediation and restoration projects being undertaken by the Governments of Iran, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia with funds awarded under the F4 category of claims to ensure financial transparency and technical reasonableness. The Council decided to hold its next regular session from 9 to 11 November 2010. Today, the United Nations Compensation Commission also made available a total of $590,000,000 to the Government of the State of Kuwait for distribution to nine successful claimants. Payment is being made in respect of 5 claims in category E (claims of corporations and public sector enterprises) and 4 claims in category F (claims of Governments and international organizations, including environmental claims). Under decision 267 (S/AC.26/Dec.267 (2009)), the nine remaining category E and F claims, all awarded to Kuwait, are paid on a quarterly basis in rounds of $10 million, in the order in which they have been approved. This payment brings the overall amount of compensation made available to date by the United Nations Compensation Commission for successful claims of individuals, corporations, and Governments and international organizations to $29,498,814,044. This leaves an outstanding balance of approximately $22.9 billion that remains owing to Kuwait. Successful claims are paid with funds drawn from the United Nations Compensation Fund, which is funded by a percentage of the proceeds generated by the export sales of Iraqi petroleum and petroleum products. This percentage is currently at 5 per cent in accordance with paragraph 21 of Security Council resolution 1483 (2003).
