He(Brennan) well could have made the call. He had/has a lot of authority on drone strikes it appears. The game may have been to let Brennan make the decision then zero makes the call and they throw various others under the bus,hard to tell yet.

this below is from your link:

Although he insists that all agencies have the opportunity to weigh in on decisions, making differing perspectives available to the Oval Office, Brennan wields enormous power in shaping decisions on “kill” lists and the allocation of armed drones, the war’s signature weapon. When operations are proposed in Yemen, Somalia or elsewhere, it is Brennan alone who takes the recommendations to Obama for a final sign-off.

But the bottomline is that Obama is the one making the decision, not his underlings.
