We handed over Iraqi Soveignty 2 days early...I wonder why?

After major combat operations ended, US President George W. Bush set up the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) and led by United States civilian administrator Paul Bremer. On July 22, 2003, the CPA formed the Iraqi Governing Council. The council created a provisional constitution guaranteeing freedom of religion but also forbidding any law to be created that violates the principles of Islam.

On 8 June 2004, the United Nations Security Council resolution 1546 was adopted unanimously and the multinational forces set June 30 as the deadline for transferring power back to the Iraqis. As the deadline has approached, the fighting has increased, with various local insurgents trying to grab power away from the national council and (presumably) prevent Iraq from becoming a sovereign republic. Instability, resentment, and a vacuum of legitimate power resulting from the occupation encouraged some militants from neighboring countries to join in the fight. Washington Times reporter Rowan Scarborough wrote, "Foreign fighters from Syria have become a major stumbling block to stabilizing Iraq and turning over sovereignty by June 30". The transfer took place a day or two ahead of schedule.
