You're also strangely overlooking the fact that the original document was created with an expiry date, and the Iraqi goverment agreed to its extension.

Sorry, but no.
Bremner himself, as I posted earlier, identifies himself in the opening sentence as "Head of the coalition provisional authority". He is neither Iraqi nor an administration.
There was no Iraqi administration at the time. The document is clearly dated and signed 27/June/2004. That's 3 days before the US "transferred sovereignty".
The Iraqi government (interim or otherwise) did not agree its extension. It was granted for the duration of the occupation and for an undetermined timeframe thereafter as clearly defined under Section 20 "Effective Period" directly above Bremners (sole) signature.
