I think we're going to see a serious game changer over the next few days with the situation in Kobani which represents a major control point on the Syria/Turkey Border especially for Kurdish refugees.
If ISIL is successful in their seige we will see a slaughter of Kurds like we've never seen before, and if that happens the Kurds will give up on getting any type of significant help.
Turkey doesn't want this town to fall but will not intervene unless there's a guarantee that Asaad is deposed.
If this siege is successful and a major refugee route is blocked, and we see a slaughter of the Kurds, then the Kurds will no longer see any real strong benefit in working with the Western Powers.
The US has already admitted that the air strikes will be pretty much ineffective.
If ISIS is successful, then you might see a precursor to a heightened Military action
