The Kurds were mentioned in the context of the proxy war model. In order to replace the Kurds in that model the Turks would have to supply troops. If we are not talking about a proxy war the situation changes. I still think the Turks would be reluctant, simply because I don't think they see an invasion of Iraq as being in line with their interests. The status quo suits Turkey rather well. Saddam lacks the capacity to direct aggressive action against Turkey (even when he had the capacity his attentions were directed elsewhere) and he has both the capacity and the will to suppress any Kurdish attempt to establish a safe haven on the Iraqi side of the border.
