Normally, yes, but that requires careful execution (pun intended), and is easy to fuck up. If she gets to drone him, she no longer has to worry about tying up all the loose ends. After all, who's going to oppose her, now that she has Washington's Killer-Drone-Squad on her side? Instant unchallengable dictatorship, right there, and it shows how thirsty she is for power to solve problems the 'easy' way instead of the more difficult, but more rational and democratic way of persuasion and diplomacy.

After all, why negotiate with people who have what you want, when you can just threaten to have them disappeared or droned?
