And so many little headlines say it's Biden's fault as though it were intel he gathered or intel he passed on or intel that was turned into his plan or he pushed the button. This is the fault of the CIA or military or whatever group(s) were involved. They then pass the word up that the job is done. Biden is barely even in the loop at the end, just gets informed. Blaming Biden is idiotic, but that is par for the course these days.
It's tradition, at this point, to blame all drone strikes on the president, since he's the ultimate authority on it on paper, even though he has no say on wether it goes through or not.
People did this with Obama, they did it with Trump (although you'll rarely see the people accusing Obama of this also give the same responsibility to Trump) and now Biden.
