Let's go way out on a limb and theorize Bidan had to check off with the Taliban first about who he could drone in retaliation for the bombing and still be sure the Taliban wouldn't retaliate back and make Bidan look like an incompetent asshole again.
IOW, let's theorize Bidan had to ask the Taliban, politely, for a list of who he could drone without fear of repercussions.
Saddest part of all is that it's we're at the point you can make up anything you want about Bidan and not have it dismissed as ludicrous out of hand.
That's how compromised this motherfucker is, IMO. Can't make a move without having to fear his cover will be blown, and dare you, with the power of the US government behind him, to try to do something about it if you can see through, don't like it , and want to do something about it.
