The same reason why Turkey won't cross the borders into Iraq.
The US has no beef with Turkey until they cross border.
You all know that, so what are you waiting for?
BTW- do you know how stupid most of you sound?
The US has made it quite clear where they stand.
How much more do you need. Bush has said over and over its not in Turkey's best interest to invade Iraq. That's why Turkey has not and will not.
Where is Turkeys balls? I know, in Bush's pocket.

Lets think of some reasons:
1. We need Turkey's friendship more than we need the Kurds.
2. Turkey is a major trading partner, the Kurds arent
3. Turkey is the only secular moslem state, and while its military occasionally takes over when politicians become too dangerous, they are a democracy.
4. They have a very big and very well equipped military and manufactures their own F16 Jets. Every male has military training and service.
5. Its a very large country, lots of mountains with places to hide and the people are fiercy independent and nationalistic, unlike the tribal disunity of Iraq
6. Its the only pro-israel Moslem state. Do you really want to disturb the Israelis?
7. The Turks have never done us any harm. They have been a staunch ally for decades.
8. Iraqis behead visiting Americans. (all right, the Kurds don't)
Turkey provides a great place for vacation and will sell Americans beautiful rugs.
9. Turkey doesn't have a bit of oil
10. We don't have enough military power left to invade Lichtenstein. We would lose.

Let's take the words invade and Turkey out of the
question. The rest of the question is still dumb enough but let's assume America does want to invade Turkey one day.
That decision would be made and put it in action by some politicians, who wouldn't have any idea about the outcome.
At the moment none of the politicians have the testicles to even dare let the word invasion cross their mind. However at the present rate of increasing stupidity amongst American politicians it might one day, after having invaded a whole bunch of dessert emirates, seem to be logical to some
one cell organisms out there that they could handle an invasion of Turkey. They just have to make sure that the World will be ready to look away then as they will have to use weapons of mass destruction. That however wouldn't leave any survivors including the Kurds to be protected.
If on the off chance some two cell organisms out there manage to convince the politicians that mass destruction weapons could trigger other weapons of the same kind but in different countries, then they will have to use their conventional capabilities. It then won't take them too long to realize that Turkey is neither Iraq nor Vietnam.

As you see, neither answerers nor US thinks that invading Turkey is possible...
If you wish you can search on internet how difficult to beat Turks in a battle... Such as during WWI, and just after the WWI, a lot of country tried it but they werent able to gain war against poor and alone Turkey...

That is a great question you should ask Pelosi, Schiff and all the other brain dead people in the US Congress that. Oh I forgot, There was Vietnam, then they are still looking for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (have they found any just yet ?), then there is Uncle Osama a crippled old man hiding in the mountains, (with the billions of dollars spent on satellite technology and everything else they still can't find him), then there is Iraq a population of approximately 12 Million or so they can't deal with, oh yes let's not forget Afghanistan they are doing a marvelous job with the Taliban, oh and then there was Somalia. All those dangerous mountain men with their stone age weapons still running around in defiance of the MIGHTY US of A and it's Nuclear arsenal. Sure that's a great idea get the US to bomb Turkey I double dare you :))

USA didn't invade Iraq to protect Kurds. USA invaded Iraq to protect the oil wells.
What the Kurds will see, sooner or later, that nobody really cares about Kurds. They don't really care for their feudal, women abusing system, either. People care for energy resources or regional power. Sooner or later Kurds will see that it is in their best interest to make friends with Turkey, become a laicist, multi-ethnic, democratic country.
