I guess Cheney wanted to wait for some time to pass before he finished the job. I started to write "had to wait", but then remembered he's Dick Cheney so probably he could have just finished him during the press conference when he was apologizing for getting shot in the face. Then his widow could have gone up and apologized to Cheney
