The goal is the wholesale extermination of all non-Muslims. The President lacks the sack to come out and say it, and the American people lack the situational awareness to admit it, but whether we want it or not, we are in the midst of a holy war. While the applicability of Iraq as a part of The Big Picture can be debated, focusing on Iraq as the end-all-be-all of this problem is tragically short-sighted.

There are different situations going on here
1. OBL and his mission regarding "infidels" in the Middle East (e.g., Saudi)
2. Insurgents and their mission regarding Iraq
3. Hamas and their mission regarding Israel
IMO, not all of these groups "goal" is the wholesale extermination of non-muslims. They have different goals. Lumping them together is quite ineffective when addressing the issue.
This is why the President doesn't come out and "say it." Because what you say is not altogether accurate.
