His reappointment suggests the impotence of Zardari, who would rather have jettisoned his increasingly powerful General.
 
Last month, Kiyani's growing sphere of influence was on display again. During a crucial meeting with President Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan, Kiyani convinced Karzai to dump his normally India-leaning security adviser, Amrullah Saleh."
