Isn't this what marines and snipers are for?

An American sniper takes out Asaad, what's Russia and China really going to do about it?
Problem is any intervention has to be multilateral (consensus across multiple countries. ie. UN based). If you send in marines and snipers, it'll be viewed as a western assassination by the Arab countries and there will be wide ranging diplomatic consequences across the middle east, especially on issues like Israel.
