As you can see we always had UN and/or Congressional approval to enter the above countries. To my knowledge no black ops have ever been approved or carried out against the acting leader of a soverign nation with or without UN and/or Congressional approval.
Yes, you missed a few (partial list):
Kosovo
Bosnia
Iraq
Kuwait
Honduras
Haiti
Cuba
Libya
Lebanon
Israel
