Because the USA was asked for help ...?
Who asked us to help in Syria?
Of course I did not take part in the negotiations but there were reports in 2013 that training the FSA was done by US personnel.

To some other rumours:
Erdogan blaming the US for supplying IS is absurdly ridiculous - pot calling kettle black. There is numerous evidence that Turkey did just that - in many ways.
So, the rebels requested help. What gives the US any authority to help the rebels?!?
Don't ask me ... What gives the US any authority to ignore so many international treaties, agreements, and regulations? If any can give answers it should be US politicians.
Um, when I asked what gave the US any authority to arm the anti-Assad revels, you responded that they were asked to. Considering it was the rebels that asked, and not some governmental institution (like the UN could have done), you don't want to continue the discussion anymore? Why respond in the first place?
If a US government officially or secretly decided to assist some political group abroad, as in this case the FSA, US governments did not ask any external institution (after Korea) for legitimation - to my knowledge.
Regarding Syria now the situation - as I see it these days - is as such:
FSA is defeated, USA has no immediate ally there any more, Putin got signalled that the future USA is no longer interested and is thus settling his interests with Turkey and Iran, Assad remains in office. IS is left to the Kurds and maybe later the Iranians to deal with.
