At this time, Turkey will not even allow the US to use it's airspace. Not much of an ally.

Turkey should be more willing to help us out. The US should be less than willing to help Turkey after this is over.

Our constitution states that such permission must be given by a vote in parliament. No minister, prime or otherwise, has the authority to do so.

Turkey has provided basing and overflight rights for operation nothern watch and provide comfort for he last decade. Turkey has also provided these rights for the war against Taliban and AlQaeda. You will for get that, however..
