How much popular support does the government have vs. the rebels, and would Western troops have a chance of being seen as liberators and peacekeepers rather than invaders and torturers, especially considering America's rather shaky recent past in the region?
I don't believe anyone is suggesting having Western troops anywhere.
Just send in air support to bomb the shit out of ISIS and let the Iraqi army have the glory, that'll fix the government's support problem right there.
Oh, good, more families on Al Jazeera pointing at the rubble of where their homes used to be as they wail about their drone-slaughtered children.
