You're contradicting yourself. How do you know he just wanted to kill him? His actions clearly state otherwise, he was holding the president hostage when the others arrived.

I never said their plan was better, but if they'd made the announcement quickly and left, it could have worked. Easily.

Are you not reading anything I'm saying? The rest of them were on their way to the tv station. They didnt go there because they saw Seifer there, though they did hurry then. Seifer put them at risk, because that blew their cover and all the sneaking around they did. They were all quite lucky they didnt get trapped in the tv station and slaughtered, to be honest.
