I think what he's saying here is that these are the goals of the Iraqis; it's not the foreign jihadists, but the Iraqis themselves that have little interest in a secular state. Plus the larger point is that, whatever the role of religion turns out to be in the next government, it's not a role that can be forced or constrained by anything the U.S. military can do.
