Just about every war was expected to be short--- with the notable exception of the "war on terror" which is expected to be without end.
In America's Civil War, when it started both sides expected there would be a few skirmishes and then it would be over.
In WW1, both sides expected the fighting to be over before Christmas in the first year of the conflict.
So-- Turkey expected the Syrian troubles to be short-lived and instead they're going on and on. What a surprise.
