Now if you can see this theory as even being a remote possibility,

No, I can't.

Population of Iraq: 26 million
Population of Iran and Syria: 86 million

Regardless of you views on the current situation in Iraq, it's taking alot of troops to prevent a full scale civil war breaking out there. And that's without active opposition from other counties in the region.

Clearly, invading some more places so there's more than four times as many people to keep in check is the obvious course of action at this time.

China & India should be very afraid.

They both have nuclear weapons we know about, with long range missiles. And each of them has a population larger than the US and EU added together. Invading them makes real sense....
