The Marines were there twice as I understand it. The first time they did it
right, and performed their mission of getting Yasser and the PLO out of
there. Everyone apparently even liked them.

It was when they returned later with a different mission (one that was
apparently a little too pro-Israeli) that it went to pieces. Or so I have
heard.
