What surprises me, though, is the announcement of a series of 5-6 speeches leading up to the transfer. Speech #1 covered essentially no new ground. Except for repeating the name of whomever Brahimi picks (which will probably be a full speech in itself), what on earth to they plan on having Bush say for so many more speeches?

Saw today in the Chron that Brahimi is getting resistance to his picks for ministry leaders from the gov council and other politicos so he might not have the full govt together by 6/1 as promised. Maybe one of the next speeches will explain that any such delay is Brahimi's fault, not ours, and the 6/30 date still stands unchanged.
Aside from that I have no idea what else could be talked about. Maybe it's just a way of seizing one news cycle a week with the buildup to and postgame analysis of his speech...
