The US is bound by treaty to come to Turkey's defense if attacked.

You mean like Turkey came to our aid during the war in Iraq?

Tuck Furkey!

The Turks were a very effective ally in the Korean War.

Nope. The US didn't invoke Article V, the mutual defense section of the NATO Treaty, during the war in Iraq because NATO is a purely defensive treaty and Iraq didn't attack the United States.

The only time Article V was invoked was after the 9/11 attacks. Turkey did provide material support to NATO operations related to 9/11. If you want to compile a list of NATO members that didn't support the war in Iraq, you'll need a very long list.
