This interview is really sick To morally equivicate Hezbollah and Israel is sickening in the extreme...Here's the part I have the biggest problem with:

THOMAS RICKS, REPORTER, "THE WASHINGTON POST": I think it will be. But I think civilian casualties are also part of the battlefield play for both sides here. One of the things that is going on, according to some military analysts, is that Israel purposely has left pockets of Hezbollah rockets in Lebanon, because as long as they're being rocketed, they can continue to have a sort of moral equivalency in their operations in Lebanon.(emphasis mine)

-- notice the "some military analysts" quote. It's a nice anonymous source that we are supposed to take as uncontestable fact...also, did this yahoo miss the fact that Israel has a lot of video of Israeli bombs destroying launchers and rockets? What do they think the UAV's hovering up above are filming? Does this guy really think the Israelis are just wasting ammo? That's just crazy 'cause the bombs they're using - they're expensive!!!

here's Powerline's take

here's the analysis by Ace of Spades.

and This is the full transcript where the interview was transcribed. (just in case people tell you the WAPO reporter's quote was taken out of context!)
