re: olive what are you on about? OK I'll let the royal commissions ride...

From the CAABU (Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding) site that you recommend;


Kahan Commission

"The Minister of Defense, Mr. Ariel Sharon

We have found, as has been detailed in this report, that the Minister of Defense bears personal responsibility. In our opinion, it is fitting that the Minister of Defense draw the appropriate personal conclusions arising out of the defects revealed with regard to the manner in which he discharged the duties of his office.."

"We shall remark here that it is ostensibly puzzling that the Defense Minister did not in any way make the Prime Minister privy to the decision on having the Phalangists enter the camps."

"These blunders constitute the non-fulfillment of a duty with which the Defense Minister was charged. "



Most surprising that a man most skilled in military matters be guilty of military blunders.

Does not sound at all like an exoneration to me!
