I suspect it is more likely a sign that command and control has broken down in Syria, Turkey and Syria have an long border, the last thing Syria wants is Turkey allowing the west to funnel arms through to the rebels across the border openly while the US ramps up Turkeys armed forces.
This sets up a possible Libyan end game with western advisors helping turkish forces to supress Syrian armour and artillary and allowing the rebellion to take hold
