General Kayani and U.S.-Pakistani Relations, 2007-2013
Editor’s Note: This is another article in a short series on the legacy of the recently retired Pakistani Chief of Army Staff, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.

That day he attended another gala pageant at the Presidency where Musharraf took oath as civilian president for five more years. As the President reiterated profuse adulation for the man, he offered only a serene confident expression that once again accentuated the sharp personality comparison between the two.
Man behind the uniform
Even otherwise, poker-faced General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani, (55), has always kept a low public profile and is routinely described as a demure, professional soldier. Coming from a relatively humbler origin as son of a JCO, Kayani has always conducted himself with quiet dignity, composure and intense sense of personal pride. General Kayani not only ex
