General amused by analysts -references a cow and a 'flat rock'

WASHINGTON – Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael "Buzz" Moseley may be commander of the U.S.-British air effort over Iraq, but he was born in Grand Prairie, Texas, where plain-spokenness is a virtue.
Asked Saturday about critics of the U.S. war plan, especially the many former military officers on television, Gen. Moseley said he found it humorous.
"Retired military people from various grades, from major to general, seem to feel free to comment on a plan that they have never seen ... or have any understanding of," he said.
"I grew up in Texas, and a lot of these guys, I'm amused by the way they critique it, but in the end, it's a whole lot like listening to a cow pee on a flat rock. It just doesn't matter."
