I would not be so ready to celebrate the prospect of seeing more young soldiers dying for a lost cause if I were in the Antipodes.
The IS fighters will welcome such a confrontation, it is what all the "Head Chopping" is about, a stratagem to goad a ground attack since they are unable to shoot down high altitude bombers with their inferior weaponry.
Recruitment will flourish (for IS) when the military offensive begins, for every IS fighter (or civilian) killed, two more will rise up to take their place, THAT is how it has been up to now, and I think we may all live to regret the mistakes of the past.
How did that song go ? :- "Fools rush in where wise men never go, but wise men seldom fall in battle, so how are they to know".
