in the condition biden adminstration was in..they couldnt wait for a window or a later time. The situation room would have been like inside of a pressure cooker then.If you mean they would have preferred a method with lesser collateral damage, then buoy o buoy, they have downed commercial airliners to eliminate a target of their interest(Air India flight carrying Bhabha). Again, there could have been 'cleaner' ways to eliminate but that may not even be a consideration.
Lesser collateral damage would take time and even days..and with hours passing by USA was losing its capacity for information from inside Afghan as every thing was going total disarray. IMO the strike of such was political than tactical.
soooo.. they worked on something which they thought was `credible` under pressure from administration.
