ehhh ... to be recognized as a Mullah? Which would give him authority over political figures, right? That's how it works in Iran, in case you hadn't noticed. And the ayatollahs want it to work that way in Iraq too. They oppose Ayatollah Sistani's 'quietist' school. What I believe with all my heart is that he will pursue his goal until it is realized or until he is killed trying. He is making progress, what do you think would stop him, certainly not borders, or political authorities. I don't doubt he has signed onto the program, but he does not have the wit to really lead it. He's just not smart enough. He is a tool of others. There was a reason Saddam killed his father and older brother, but left him alive. He declared the current truce (which he just extended) because he had lost control of JAM forces, which were splintering into uncontrollable factions. That's hardly the mark of an able leader.
