 the death of Saddam and Ghadaffi done by a military strike,

these are not defined as assassinations?

from Webster:     Assassination definition is - murder by sudden or secret attack often for political reasons : the act or an instance of assassinating someone

The CIA greenlights every operation before it happens. The CIA greenlighted my breakfast today.

I believe you might need to check your history.

Saddam was executed by hanging at approximately 06:00 UTC +03:00 on the first day of Eid al-Adha (30 December 2006).

Gaddafi was wounded by grenade fragmentation from a grenade thrown by one of his own men which bounced off a wall and fell in front of Gaddafi, shredding his flak jacket. He sat on the floor dazed and in shock, bleeding from a wound in the left temple. Then one of his group waved a white turban in surrender.[15]

Gaddafi was killed shortly afterwards.

Saddam Hussein was hanged after a trial in an Iraqi court.  Would our SCOTUS have upheld the verdict?  Maybe not.
This all started with my skepticism about MDoT's assertion that the CIA has assassinated a whole bunch of heads of state since the end of WWII.
Not enemy generals. Not international terrorists.  Heads of state.
Assassinated by the CIA.
Nor undermined. Not overthrown.  Not found and turned in to the appropriate authorities.  Assassinated.
I think--I don't know, and I doubt that anyone here does--that the CIA has caused two heads of state to be murdered/assassinated.  Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran and Salvador Allende in Chile.
Maybe there have been others.
Again, I don't know.

Thanks!  I didn't think we killed him, even though our then-Secretery of State did a victory dance and said something that rhymed, IIRC. But I couldn't remember the details.

Not many heads of state of any interest have been killed while in office over the past few decades.  So, first you have to name one and indicate why you think the CIA did it.  Maybe they did, but I doubt they care about the Prime Minister of Eastern Slobovia.

Maybe they've all been listed as COVID-19 deaths.

Shoulder surgery on the 10th, wife's is on the 3rd.  He said I should be able to drive a manual right away, which is good.  They actually will cut where my bicep attaches to the rotator cuff and plug it into something else.  And a few other things.  The wife had her COVID test today, said it was not fun.
