State will take over many things Bremer was in charge of...The Coalition Provisional Authority under Bremer's direction will end with the turning over of sovereignty.

The military will not be under Powell...There are rebuilding contracts that also will be turned over to State, which suggested the Defense dept had more experience in procurement and wanted defense to do it in the beginning..This is what I gleaned from your link.

"Well, capitulation didn't take long after Powell was placed in charge:"

Capitulation started in Fallujah, and the decision was not made by Marines .

”As Falluja goes, so goes central Iraq, as central Iraq goes, so goes the nation, " - Colonel John Coleman, chief of staff of 1st Marine Expeditionary Force (before the cease fire)”
