Well the inevitable course of action, boots on the ground, will be coming soon I would imagine, as quickly as a month. I'm guessing Obama won't commit any until after the midterms for political reasons, but after that there will likely be no choice. Bombing could only go so far with how big the group is, ground forces were always going to be needed.

But frankly the Islamic world, if they really are so disgusted and angry at the extremists, should take this battle on themselves. Doing so sends a substantially more powerful message than the West doing it, which will primarily be used as a propaganda and recruitment tool by future extremist groups. A coalition of primarily Islamic countries taking out ISIS would be a landmark move.
