It was done in a different country without notifying them ahead of time, violating the sovereignty of that nation. It was definitely over the line of international norms.


Did they miss? Advanced warning was given to Iraq, and they had to know that would be passed along to US forces. Smells more like things went as intended.

I stated earlier they missed on purpose most likely knowing they would lie about it to save face with their die hards in their country.

And this wasn't just a "foreign official' either, nor was the other guy with him killed who was actually once sentenced to death for the attack on the U.S. embassy in Kuwait back in 1983. 

Who knows, maybe there is more to all of this that we know, like perhaps someone high up in Iran wanted him taken out or something. I doubt it, but its never out of the realm of possibilities.
