Turkey had a real concern about a kurdish state. If it had of allowed the US to attack from its end, it would have had severe internal repurcussions, and Turkey has as many Kurds as Norther Iraq -- many just champing at the bit to secede and join a Kurdish state. As an ally the US would have taken this circumstance into consideration.
