I cannot understand the pharse "its vision of an Islamic caliphate" in the paragraph below:
"America’s Vietnam War demonstrated that a single-minded focus on a specific “global” threat can distort more local realities. The role of superpower leads U.S. analysts and decision-makers to view international threats in global rather than local terms. Thus, the United States focuses on Al-Qaeda and its vision of an Islamic caliphate because it has the character of a “global threat”, however low-risk that threat might be."
what does that phrase mean? im not a native speaker.....

Im not a native speaker, i have a complex English sentence and I don't really understand its meaning. Can anyone explain it for me? this is the sentence:
"The formulation of any withdrawal strategy in Iraq—however labeled—should take into account the likelihood that even as nationalism trumped communism between the Cambodians, Chinese, and Vietnamese during the cold war, it will also be an obstacle to the establishment of any transnational caliphate"
I dont understand what "labeled" here means..and...I cannot find any relevance in the sentence ...help me please!
